I am using an A55, may eventually upgrade to the A77Mark K wrote:16-80 is about to upgrade. Optically it is a very good and light weight lens to go with APS C sized aemrqa. Ian, which cameras are you using? If you are going for FF, then you shoulder consider 24-70 which is a heavy lens.

Re: Looking for a Kit Lens Replacement...
Thanks for the info! Sure that will be ok for me, the noise is not an issue.David Kilpatrick wrote:There is only one issue with the 16-80mm - it is mechanically focused (but very fast). On the A55, it can be a bit noisy.

Re: Looking for a Kit Lens Replacement...
The CZ 16-80 is certainly on my wish list. The other CZs would be too great an investment for me unless I was expecting to go Full-Frame. There are also Sigma and Tamrons in this range which are faster and cheaper with good reputations (e.g. Tamron 17-50/2.8 ). Great stuff, thank you, the 16-80 is ...

Brilliant info yet again, thanks everyone! 8) That picture is fantastic! Here are a couple of my own taken from my website gallery, I tend to prefer natural light and rely on using my Photoshop knowledge for a very artificial but unique look.

Re: Lastolite lumen8 400w + Sony A55. Will it work?
Thanks for the help!
I should have said, it would be mainly for car photography. So I would need a fair bit of light!
Thanks again though
Ian.

Lastolite lumen8 400w + Sony A55. Will it work?
Sorry, just a question, will it work? I am really new to studio lighting and wanted to know if the kit in question will work with my A55? or will I need adapters? I have seen a cheap nearly new Lastolite lumen8 400w set for sale and wondering if its worth getting for my A55 at a bargain price of £25...
