Hi all, I've been asked to shoot my sister (so to speak) dancing, not in a concert just by herself. (Shots for her CV) The venue is most likely going to be a...
Hi Adam, frankly if I was to take pix of her dancing for a CV I would ask her into a studio with her costume. Then use a normal lens or a slight wide angle...
Hi, since few months I am the owner of the Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 5 with the 28-80 mm lens of Minolta. Now I would like to buy a telephoto lens and I I'm...
... Ask Minolta USA - Phil Braedon (sp?) probably helped design the meters and probably can tell you why one or the other is most appropriate for you. Try...
Hi I thought you lost the tokina and Minolta 70-210 lenses what the stories here? I just about to pay , you told the lenses stolen from the car. Now The...
I have the Tamron lens which on its own produces fine photos. With a 1.4x(Sigma) or 2x(Kenko) converters the quality degraded somewhat. I prefer to use a ...
I followed up with you in an email. They were recovered unharmed. Didn't think you were still interested as I didn't hear from you. Darrin ... Warranty ... ...
Having recently gotten a bit TOO miffed with my Nikon to keep it around, I'd still have agree with you. In general I loose a LOT more shots due to a mistake,...
Not really. The Tamron only does 1:2 macro if you use the 1.4x TC. When you use that TC you're also taking a 1 stop light hit and the Macro + sharpness is...
Hi Niki I'm sure many of the folks on the list will disagree with me here, but I have a similiar tamron lens...the same specs except mine says tele-macro ...
Hi Using my Minolta Scan Dual III at full res spits out some rather big files close to 30meg. I've been wondering about the subject of compressing Tif files....

Hello David,
The Maxxum 9000, while a great camera, is in that
awkward age between being cutting edge and classic. Right now it's just old.
What I'd do in...
... Not true! My Tamron 70-300 does 1:2 macro without a TC, but you MUST have it at 300mm to get that level of macro out of it! Still, it's only an f/5.6 at...
Hi: Considering buying a minolta film scanner. My option would be DiMage Scan Elite II or DiMage Scan Dual III. From the paper, they have the same physcial...

Hi, I would recommend instead Minolta 100-300/4.5-5.6D. This lens significantly outperforms both of them especially at wide apertures. You can have a close-up...
Paul you sure you had the flash in the left hand? Nice shoot. At the small uploaded photo there's nothing wrong with the DOF ... PS: What do you think about...
Hi all, I am selling these and keeping the F4.. I have pics of everything so if interested, email me at lvlylynn30@... Refs on ebay lvlylynn27 accept...
I was wondering the same question. Dual III seems like a better investment to me. These days with all the DSLRs arround you never know when you might find...
Well, I just received my 16X20 enlargement from Dale Labs. It was done from Fuji Superia 100 film, and I must say, I am quite pleased. Sure, it isn't quite as...
The problem is that LZW compression is licensed, so most "free" software does not support TIFF with LZW compression. LZW (and ZIP) compression are lose-less -...
I saw a Tamron Adaptal 2 800-1300mm lens at the pawn shop today. The guy behind the counter did not know what brand of camera it was for but the rear lens cap...
... There are too many Tamrons 70(5)-300 around here. I have 70 - 300 LD Macro (filter thread 62 mm) which really goes to 1:2 at 300. It is excellent for...
