Thx mav.The reason i wanted this camera is because i need something better than a point and shoot but don’t want the bulk and complexities on a DSLR. Besides i heard that it has an excellent iauto mode as well as fully manual mode.So will start with iauto and move to manual at a later stage when i get more time.
Ya maybe buying a macro lens makes sense.Since the macro lens offered by sony are very expensive i guess your option is much better. So what macro and adapter are u using and where to source it from? Also which 28mm 2.8 macro lens and adapter are u using?
One more question:-With that 50 mm 1.4 lens are you able to achieve background defocus(bokeh effect) even when the subject and the background are fairly close to each other ??
