Anyone have any experience with the Tamron SP AF200-500mm F/5-6.3 Di LD (IF) lens. Just sold my Minolta 400mm 4.5 to KEH and thinking of getting this one as a...
... I have had this lens since last July. I don't use it heavily, but, when I use it, it fills the bill. I find it to be a very sharp lens that works well...
Hello Brian, It happens that I have a 85 1.4 in mint condition for sale, but, as you, I'm not in a rush, so I'll be asking ~800 + SSHH -I saw some 85mm 1.4 on...
I've always thought that the Minolta 400 4.5 was always soft when shooting film and exchanged it for another that also was just a soft. I believe this is why...
... Interesting - in the past, I'd read it was one of the sharpest lenses that Minolta ever made, and people were not that impressed with the 300/2.8. The...
I will let my customer know. He has a few purchases to pay for first, and then he would be interested. When you are ready, let me know. Price seems fine, and...
Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted anything. My trusty KM7D is still working, but it locks up on the 1st shot. It does it intermittently,...
... This sounds like the 'First Frame Black' problem - This problem was caused when Minolta used the wrong part for part of the shutter assembly, and is a free...
My 5D took an odd photo the first frame when I picked it up the other day...made me wonder if it might be this "first black frame" issue...but the top of the...
... Looks like a shutter problem to me. ... Oil on the shutter blades, methinks. -- Magnus Wedberg http://www.magnuswedberg.com/ mw AT 9000.org Warning!...
Yes, that is not the classic FFB result. What happened there is that the shutter blades had not fully opened when the flash fired; so the dark part of the...
OK, that makes sense...I'm sure it was taken with the flash on. That is the first time it has done it...and hopefully it won't continue to do that! At least...
Hello Aaron: I'm having the same intermittent problem as Marla described with my KM 7D too. I'm curious as to who you initially contacted to have your camera...
... I called Sony to report the problem and after describing the symptoms, they gave me an event ID and emailed me information about how to send the camera to...
I have a number of Sigma AF lenses that I used with my Minolta 5D. Will these lenses work with a new Sony A350 without having to have a modification by Sigma? ...
Almost certainly. However you should be aware that there have been some cases of AF gear stripping when using Sigma 70-300 series of lenses with some new...
From what I have heard from others (especially bird shooters), almost all lenses work, but some older long primes need re-chipping. I have heard at least about...
I have three: 10-20, 18-200, and an older 70-300 Macro. So far, they all work well with my a700. The 70-300 is about 15 years old and did not require...
I have a Sigma 15-50mm 2.8 EX Macro and my A700 stripped the focus gears in about two weeks. The reviews on Dyxum.com show a number of people who have had the...
The A700 has two focus speed settings in its menu settings. I would assume the slow setting would put less stress on the "gear train" of the lens. I have used...
Thanks for passing along the information and phone number Aaron. I called today and everything is set for me to send the 7D in to Precision for that "black...
News to Apple users - New raw support in 10.5.7 for Aperture and iPhoto in particular. more listed in the link - of interest to minolta folk - Sony DSLR-A900 ...
I've been wondering where everyone stands on the new Sony digital bodies. Are they any good or are our Maxxum lenses now prehistoric remnants of a once...
Hello mickeymoose101, ... I still have my 7D, and my Maxxum 7 film camera, and several other Minoltas back to the SRT-101 that I bought in 1967. I still use...
