75-200 2.8 lens Strongest flash you can afford. Though keep in mind you may be prohibited from using it in some cases. Your a100 will do fine. Other cameras will do better - but not the cost of a...

Came in here to mention the "portraits from Russia" photographer. The user churns out some excellent portraits with the inexpensive 85 2.8. As far as which is better I'd say that'd be dependent on...

Figured it out, and am quite embarrassed. Turns out the glass within the filter I used in front of the lens had some play to it. Now lemme see if I can withdraw this question...

Shot a large marathon a few weeks back (6000+ shots and a bunch of running around), and didn't notice till today that I can hear some movement inside the lens when I flip it upside down and right...

I haven't heard anything - and I finally caved in to get the current offering. Not that I'm unhappy with the glass - its just that I would have loved weather sealing. -- ~ CJ

Haha! yeah - sorry... thought the weapon of choice was implied being a photography forum and all. ^ ^ -- ~ CJ

Finished a fashion preview last weekend, feels good to just unwind this Friday with my pets and family. Yes she has a leash on, she's an indoor cat - but we take her out quite often. She usually...

Some longer exposures in Ala Moana Hawaii.Just having fun with some Goja ND Grads. The kit was cheap and is compatible with Cokin filters so if I feel the need to get higher quality stuff - I...

Look for any Sony lens with SSM, Tamron with PZD, or Signma with HSM in the name. -- ~ CJ

Dpreview's take on it:~ CJ

I own the a55, and use it regularly in my shoots. I also am answering based off my own experiences. To discount that is your option.Take your a33, put it in manual focus (to prevent AF from slowing...

The Sony 85mm 2.8 is part of Sony's easy choice series of lenses. Shouldn't have to shop hard because it is half the cost of the Tamron 28-75 2.8.

The major difference between the two is the mirror. The NEX 7 doesn't have one and doesn't suffer from that additional surface and light loss. -- ~ CJ

Price sounds about right from a storefront. Recommend looking at ebay if you want it cheaper. -- ~ CJ

The buffer may or may not hurt you depending on your shooting requirements and style. For sports, especially outdoor sports, I tend to shoot JPEG only at lowest or middle resolution. This maximizes...

Brought the Tamron 18-200 with me to Disney World. (No way am I carrying my Zeiss on a ride)First of all I found the sharpness, especially in the center of the frame more then acceptable. I was...

Sports shooter here. The a55 (and probably the a35) suffers from a 1/4 a second frozen frame after each shot. Unnoticeable for most people, but when tracking and shooting a moving target like a...
