Good morning, Graham; Your concern about the possible effects on "the domestic front" from buying a Sony A900 and lens is one that I also appreciate. Having...
Not quite pure trivia, because these dimensions affect using or making various macro gear: The position of the threaded insert for tripod attachment is not the...
I recently sold off my 7D to a Nikon friend that sold off his kit - had a D40 I think, and needed a system for Halloween shoots this week. So far, he's...
Has you or your friend tried "FleeBay", a/k/a eBay? A couple of days ago, I was looking there and I think I saw a 50mm f1.7; please don't hold me to this...

Hi Graham, I cannot help you with your problem with the A900; but about the conversion of any Minolta/Sony DSLR to IR, seem that nobody is doing them. The...
You have to enable 'Release without lens'. As said by the other poster, you will have to use full manual exposure, unless you get a chipped adapter (when you...
Does anyone have the instruction manual for the Minolta SR-502 bellows that one could scan and e-mail or copy and snail mail? This thing has me stumped....
This repair is for the AS Error on start-up by the way. maybe slider assembly of the AS module. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
... No, there is no such option with the A900 (or most of the other newer Sonys). The manual simply tells you to use manual mode on page 161. ... That part is...
Well, it may surprise you to know that a number of 'genuine' Minolta/Sony lenses are actually made by Tamron, including that 28-75mm. So don't rule out other...
What is it that you want to know? Bellows are pretty simple devices, and generic instructions for any brand will cover most of them. - RL ... Does anyone have...
Tested all my lenses on an a900 tonight. Only had one non-full frame piece of glass (the Minolta/Tamron 11-18mm), which vignettes like crazy at 11mm. There...
I personally feel that ignoring whole brands is not wise, unless one has all the money one needs to get the optimum gear every time. I have been now quite...

Took the plunge on Oct 30th., and slowly exploring the camera and a SONY/ZEISS 24-70/2.8 SSM. Also looked at the a850, but decided on the a900 and glad that I...
Try using the SanDisk Extreme IV Compact Falsh Card or the Delkin UDMA Compact Flash Card. Both of these cards were made for the A700 and A900, as they read...

That's only for exposures of one second or more, if long exposure noise reduction (actually dark frame subtraction) is enabled. For shots under one second,...
