If you're interested, I have a 50m-200m lens (Sony) that I'm not gonna use...

You have my profile, contact me if interested

Heh, long story short... I paid for them but my friend bought them for me from UK. Costs around 20% less than online orders.

Yes yes yes... 7asawiya mentality at its best. ;)



loolykinns:
No thanks, I already have Tamron 70-300mm which covers a decent focal length. :)

Yours is Sigma, right?

Never tried posta plus. Let me know if it's good when you get the chance to use their service.


Fjr:
Yep, it's better because it has built-in anti-shake system.

Mabrook :)

How are Sony cameras? Our small camcorder is a sony but for some reason (probably advertising) I don't take them seriously for photography. Is it true they bought Minolta?

Cool zoom lens to have with you... Post some shots.

Bu Yousef:
Allah ebarik fek, thanks.

It's A-Mazing. The A700 is a semi-pro camera and it performs outstandingly between both worlds, whether for quick random shots or extreme complicated shots.

I personally went for Sony because, as you mentioned, it acquired Minolta thus their DSLRs have a large variety of lenses and cheap too. But the most important feature is having built-in image stabilizer.

I will review it as soon as possible with some shots. Stay tuned. :)

1- I'm surprised the budget can handle it.

2- Is that why you're not answering my phone calls?

Bu Yousef:

Azure:
Thank you! :)


Bashar:
1- I had a separate budget for this one. :P
2- Ahh no sorry that day I had no credit on my cellphone. :/

Canon and Nikon are the best but Sony can tag along since they bought Konica Minolta. Besides it has built-in image stabilizer which makes it easier to choose new lenses.
