For Alphas DSLRs users in Malaysia you have to go to this forum or else you derno what you missing (I might regret for posting this bcoz later got alot more ppl rebut to buy cheap lense with me in the forum ledi .. but good things must share wan mah!) http://www.alphanatics.com
At first glance, macro photography is dem 9 expensive wan ... particularly the macro lenses. If you buy Sony ori mia lense that one no nid i tell u also u know its gonna be dem kaw ledi la ... then other than that you got a choice of those 3rd party lense like Sigma, Tamron, Cosina which are suppose to be cheaper! BUT .... cheaper doesnt mean its very affordable also rite anot?
Price is actually is no.1 reason that did not managed to get myself a Macro lense untill recently ... within the forum i found one fler selling a Pheonix 100mm f/3.5 macro lense (nebermin if u derno wtf is 100mm n f/3.5 .... dun herd your blen ok? at first i also derno wtf is 100mm f/3.5 is also ... so we are at par and u r definitely not smarter than me! kakakaka!!! ) at a very very affordable price and after consult Sifu Ahbert I go ahead and purchased it.
