For some strange reason the last picture was missing 16mm f7.1

All from raw, converted with LR with lens correction and some perspective correction. Gent, Belgium - 16mm f6.3 Gent, Belgium - 16mm f6.3 Gent, Belgium - 50mm f6.3 Gent, Belgium - 30mm f6.3...

I used a Tamron SP 35-105 2.8 and found it close to my black 80-200 APO. A little warmer than the minolta. Good on FF, but high distortion on the wide end. Excellent on APS-C.Take a look at the...

Those typical minolta colors and rendering are for the lenses of the beercan period and some later restyled versions. It is the combination of deep colors, bokeh, medium contrast and a very light...

There was a great f2.0 range in the minolta af line:28mm f2.035mm f2.0100mm f2.0All exceptionally good and compact. Without hesitation usable at f2.0.It is possible to focus them manually. But with...

A talented artist can use any tool. Some artists are photographers, but not all photographers are artists.

It is possible to seal the mirror box. Sigma has done it, and maybe patented the design.Sensor flare is usually the result of a curved rear lens element.Many sensor dust problems are related with...

I like the combination with the a900. Fast and faster with the latest firmware update.In low light, LEV -3.5:

Take a look at the Nikon FX forum and see how happy they are with the Nikon service and support.

All current FF's are very close in performance at high iso. And reconverting the high iso files from the previous generation with the current software brings them within one stop.It gives me the...

From the article:"As if the above points weren’t enough, what has to be one of my favourite reasons for shooting in RAW is that all image editing is non-destructive.  Unlike a JPEG file, where any...

Standard settings are better for some sensors and bad for another. Each sensor has his own tonal curve, wb, contrast and saturation. And small adjustments have a big impact on the result.I...

Good pictures.For the last one the original size is not big enough.

Shot with DRO 3, Standard scene mode, and probably high nr.I have seen much better jpeg's.

A Belgian company Cmosis, designer of the new Leica FF sensor, has a patent with more oval than rounded microlenses to get more light and as a solution for corner problems. The sony design with the...

What is the  -1,3 EV in the 6400 shot of the a900? Exposure compensation in the raw program or in the camera settings? And does it mean that the a99 is less sensitive at 6400 ISO?The a900 shots...

With downsampling to 6mp you can't see the finest details, and the a900 also is known for very good detail in the highlights. And comparing both 6mp conversions (A99 and your A900) I see some...

Downsampling removes detail, more at 6mp  than at 12mp. But you don't have the same detail with a a 6mp or 12mp camera as with a 24mp camera.The test proves:1. That for a similar size a99 6400 ASA...
