Hi Adrian -  I still have a Minolta 28-135, which I'm selling. Drop me a PM if you're interested Bart

Since the Alphas have a very good live-view functionality, where you can see to a high degree what you are doing and what your shot will be like, there's no need to constantly 'chimp' (look at the...

How would you like your photos, sir? - Well done, please! Good looking recipe - thanks for sharing 'all ingredients'! Bart

Thanks for that link Ralf - I downloaded and installed it - NO results in finder for the thumbnails. Alas! As someone else said: it IS a bug, being discussed on fora all over the world. This is...

It's the 5th of may - and the lens is finally on the shelves in several shops (Amazon among them), or on it's way from the distributors. Bart

Could this suggest: there's a sudden high demand for it on the market it is suddenly a much better camera than it was two days ago something was lost in the pipelines of corporate translation or...

Lucky you! Bart

Another advantage is the reduction of shutter sounds/noises (which are already soft/low on the SLT cameras). Bart

Hey  - that's nice! I saw the exact same thing develop in the sky around that time, near Utrecht in my case; I had to keep my hands at the steering wheel though. It was a spectacular view, you...

How is that possible, Rob? It's uploaded in may 2010... Is it the updating frame? Bart

And, Myosotis, really be sure to choose more interesting, inspirational subjects. They will stimulate you so much more to find and use the right techniques to bring out their strength and...

Sorry to hear of the fire, the loss and toss - good thing that you were not physically harmed, and still have the fruit of the gear that was lost. Good luck in rebuilding everything Bart

That's a very beautiful cat against a very distracting background... Bart

I did that twice in the past 6 months, and also - directly and via two retailers - asked the Dutch import dealer about it. The answer was either vague, or the promised date was just postponed...

After my remarks I am obliged to, am I not?  ;-) Do you have RAWs of this series? Struggle is in saturation as well as color variations Bart

Nice work, but on my (calibrated) monitor all the images look too red/brown/yellow. For certain things that may yield some special warmth, but it's damaging all the skin tones. And since wedding...

That will not have the speed of an instantaneous review like you would have with tethered shooting. Indeed.  Bart

Jack, your explanation may be right but it's rather academic. OP clearly wants to know what the focal range of this lens will be for the intended use. Since it has become a good custom to give an...

Better not call it 'preview'. That was applicable for Sony's kind of -view in the A900; an unsaved image to have an idea of what the definitive shot would look like. The thing that you want, most...

To me, the mentioned areas look like symptoms of a somewhat underexposed, cranked-up image. Could that be the case? Bart
