Out With The Beercans
4

I have always enjoyed shooting with the Beercan lens with both my Maxxum gear as well as my A390. I haven't shot the other two Beercans on the Sony until a couple of days.

Since the SS is broken on the Sony and these are long focal length lenses I tried to match the shutter speed to the FL or better, sometimes having to go slower. I wanted to keep the ISO at 200, even though I've heard the camera can do well at 400 and even 800. These three lenses did a fine job with auto focusing. The Beercan was pretty fast. The Big Beercan was just a tad slow (may be my lens) and the Beercan Lite would stutter sometimes at long lengths and small objects. It is amazing at the weight difference between them.

The lens surprised me how well it focused with all the twigs in the way

Being able to get close up is one of my favorite things about this lens
