At 11:57 PM 5/31/2004 +0200, Matthias Andree ... I wouldn't bother with his stuff either. I was just trying to add a little balance to the discussion. He...
I actually contacted him and let him know that the items were priced a bit on the high side. I also let him know that the camera had to be at least 15 years...
Thanks Paul for the photos. I have a 3600hs flash and I guess that this one does not rotate like the bigger flash. Since I killed my Max 70, I am thinking of...
... I think what is being described here is the fact - one I was not aware of - that setting a shorter shutter speed when using studio flash can enable the...
Dear all, I am in a rather luxury position that I was able to acquire a cheap 9 with a 24-105(D) lens. Concerning this camera, which I bought secondhand, and...
Hi, I have 24-85 and it's not difficult for me to say that it's a decent lens. AFAIK 24-105 is an enhanced version of similar quality. My friend shoots with...
I've just read the PP mag earlier and was bit of surprise with the rating. Although 24-105 may not be a top grade zoom, its definitely a good decent lens IMO....
Hi all, I need help on choosing TC. I'm currently using 9xi, 800si and lens are Tokina 80-200 atx pro, Minolta 24-105mm and Tamron SP 90mm. I have uniplus tube...
... Where did you find this number? -- Magnus Wedberg http://www.magnuswedberg.com/ mw AT 9000.org Warning! Objects in viewfinder may be closer than they...
... Well, this is a matter of technology versus feeling. The 7 has (nearly) everything the 9 has, and exceeds its specifications on many points, for example: *...
... I don't know if I have posted this before, but anyway: A member of my photo club did try out the A1, A2, Sony F828, and Canon Pro1 (don't know about...
Visit http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mounts.htm. They give slightly different value of 44.5mm. On the other hand the difference of 0,2mm is not an issue,...
... The 24-85 is said to have wave distortion and would hence be worse. ... Personally, I've had enough of Sigma for the moment. I know two Sigma lenses...

... Still too much. If he was a reputable dealer and warranted all parts for 12 months, the price might be adequate. With a bit of luck and patience, you can...

... In terms of quality: don't. If you still want one, consider using the 1.4 so your tele/macro lenses don't turn into a F/5.6 right away. In terms of...

... How fast are they with teleconverters? I'm just thinking that, with the 2x and 1.4x stacked on a D7D, you'd have the equivalent of an 840mm f/5.6 with ...
... Well, well, I think that's a little harsh, no? A good quality TC is a very good accessory for 99% or more of all shooters. I get excellent results with my...
... Well actually it would be a 840mm f/8, and the quality would likely be pretty poor with two stacked teles. You would get better (and lighter) results with...
Hi Gang!, An Indian website claims that dynax[non-us name of maxxum] 60 is also known as Maxxum 70 in US & C. Anyone seconds to that? 60 = 70? Anyways,...
... All the Minolta TCs with mechanical linkage slows down the focusing train by a significant amount (to 1/4 with the 2x if I am not mistaken). Stacking...
... Right, my math is off. Still suffering from caffiene deficiency this early in the morning . . . ... It would suffer some, but I wonder how much....
... I am not entirely sure I agree with this. Lighter yes, better quality, hmm. The 500 is good but not spectacular; the 200/2.8, well it IS spectacular, and...
Another advantage of the Minolta, as Michael Reichman notes at his Luminous Landscape website, is the A2 can walk and chew gum at the same time. His point was...
Whoa! You STACKED the 1.4x and 2x with the 300mm f2.8!? Let's see, thats a 840mm f8? I'll have to try that sometime. I assume the AF does NOT work in this ...
As an owner of an A2 who is about to take it on a hiking camping trip to Wyoming/Colo with 9 and an x-700, I will just relate this quick story I did some 11 x...
... Yes, I did this two summers ago when shooting terns in the Stockholm archipelago. The 2x (Minolta) goes on the 300, the 1.4x (Kenko) goes on the 2x...
So far I thought the amount of light coming through the combo matters, not what the body "thinks". Interesting, can you comment? On the other hand I understand...
