The lenses you list will not give you much added value: they cover a range you have already, and none of them have particular strengths (ultrawide, more tele, or low light).  Thus, flash will add...

I find that as a candid it works best with the surroundings, and cropped it just really feels like a photo "out of context" with the crop being too obvious.  I would locally reduce the brightness...

It seems to me that I can legitimately say to my spouse: "but dear, there is no other option than to buy the more expensive model, the internet people tell me to, and by the way, there is even a...

The reason I ask is that this year I plan to update my sony camera body which is pre-SLT.  I do not need some of the features of the A77 like weather sealing, but would really like AF micro adjust...

I urgently need an A77.  Just this afternoon I was shooting my 50mm 1.8 at 1.8, and there was clear and annoying front focus which ruined the shot for the face of the subject being entirely out of...

Really really nice photo. No further comment!

I found the second definitely the best of the set, although you don't really seem to look at the camera. With the first, my first observation was the reflection in the glasses which was a bit...

God I wish we had something like this in Europe! My favorite recent trip was to Berlin. In the few days I had, I just had to visit the two floor sony shop. That was in February and it was the...

I own the tokina 11-16 which is really great. The fact that it is f2.8 might be useful for you given the real estate indoors photography.

I think there are few comments because right now the the pictures ´'photos of flowers'. As in they are fine, but nothing exceptional in that they do not use the potential of the macro lens, the...

I don't understand. Isn't it logical that a high-iso image with more light shows less noise?

You mean to say you're not getting paid for this? I'd say, start photography business now!Very nice images as always, though a little less "controlled" in comparison to your other work. Though...

Indeed very nice!

There are several spelling mistakes in this article: 'apposed' - 'here your thoughts'.

There are several spelling mistakes in this article: 'apposed' - 'here your thoughts', maybe this ought to be corrected.

Hmmm, if you take 15K shots, wouldn't it have been worth the trouble to make a preset in lightroom dealing with the issues you mention? Wouldn't that be a more straightforward solution rather than...

tamron 17-50 2.8

I hope the EU amazon sites follow soon. I've been waiting for the price drop and right now it's still at 749 EUR

Truyl excellent, now I've got something to strive for! On the fast wide angle you mentioned, I can highly recommend the Tokina 11-16. I use it really quite often for a specialty lens.

How do you find the beercan balances on the A57? I have the former and consider getting the latter.
