Thanks for the link. Just trying to make conversation. Pardon the infraction.

Very nice. What's the MFD on that lens?

I started a thread on this a few days ago without doing a good enough check through search and didn't get an answer that worked for me. I had purchased the adapter and my first alpha mount...

No. I want to get edge to edge with this lens, so I'm mostly going to start at f8 and stop down from there. I prefer manual focus too. That's from shooting with manual lenses mostly. Is the delay...

Hi all. Just got this lens and adapter. Anything above f4.5 and this chunky drawn-out delayed shutter happens. At f4.5, its normal, push release and instantaneous capture. This is the only alpha...

I'm on my phone looking at these and can't really tell but a yellow- crowned night-heron is somewhat similar.

Very cool shot! I live in StL and just purchased this lens. I'm twitching around waiting for FedEx to show up.

Wow. That lens is nowhere to be found with the usual suspects. Guess I could get the 500mm f4 for 13 large. Yikes!

Nice work. I dig the heart-shaped comp too. Which lens you got there?

Hello Sir, I'm considering this lens. Some descriptive images of it , along with your experience and opinion of it, would help in a decision to possibly take it off your hands. What did you settle...

Have you received your lens yet? If yes, what's your verdict?

I dig the 3rd one. I like how it fills the frame. Angle, profile is just right and like the water trailing off the talons, if that's what egrets call those.

Go Cards!

5R. As was mentioned, you can get a e mount 16mm for around $100 from a reputable seller on ebay. Make sure the seller has a rating of at least 99.7 % . The 18-55mm is arguably the better lens too....

Very nice! Any thoughts on working with Minolta 58 1.2?

Dig the belly shot.

Whatever you choose, I believe it needs more contrast to make the orchid POP. Maybe something darker.

Nice shot, Lee. I believe I remember you posting that one a few months back. Still looks good.

I prefer the first one. Nice shot.
