Hi Ernie, Would mind posting one of your out of focus images and an image after the repair. I think I am having a focus issue it appears to be with my...

... Sigma 28-105 zoom and a Maxxum 80-200 zoom for now. They were the lenses I had with my Maxxum 650 a long time ago. I had a Dimage 7 that died on me and I...
My A700 has just recently begun to be reluctant to focus on distant subjects. To clarify, the image in the viewfinder is sharp, but the resultant RAW image is...
I had a "Back Focus" problem with my new A700 and the kit lenses. I contacted customer support and after answering a dozen or so questions about my settings,...
Thanks Ernie, Is this the same type problem you had that ended up being a "back-focus" issue?? Dave ... Dave Furseth Murrieta, CA www.davesbirds.com...

Sounds a very inspiring setup, sorry to hear you are having problems with it. I would be surprised that the auto-focus still works at all with this combination...
As far as aperture controlled autofocus goes ... SONY and Minolta have the only 500mm f/8 Mirror-lens available. That simply is amazing, when it can start at...
My problem was with the kit lenses that came with the camera. Now, i'm not sure if it was the lenses or the camera that was the problem. l sent in everything,...
Dave, Are you achieving auto focus with this setup or are you manually focusing? As was written by Erkki Poyhonen, "I would be surprised that the auto-focus...

It's probably the best you are going to get at that price, in my experience. I personally use a Tokina AT-X 840 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 (Model I), that weighs...
Thanks Don, I can go with the Sigma 50-500 but it's impossible for me to hand hold and it's hard to get birds in flight using a tripod. I need to see how the...
I have no experience of the Sony 70-300, but have the similar Sigma lens. These are not very fas lenses and adding 1.4 extender means loosing a stop or two of...
Hallo Marianne, a lens you should really considered IMHO is the Minolta APO 100-400mm. Do you really need the 400mm on the long end? If not I today for sure ...
... Hi Marianne, Use a gumball mount on your tripod, with which you can mount your lens / camera system at either the center of gravity or center of view /...
Thanks Hans, I could get by with the Sony G 70-300 mm lens. :) I'm weighing between it and the Sony 70-200 f2.8 lens. I think you are right, either one of...
Hi Marianne, No I don't have that lens but I use a Tokina 100-300 F/4. It weighs 1 540 gram = 3.4 pound and I find it extremely difficult to handhold except in...
Don't have that one - if you do get it, or if anyone does have it, can they post photos? I'd like to see what it can do. Must be able to see pretty far...
If you were thinking about using a 1.4x T/C on a lens, you are definitely going to take a hit in focusing speed. Nominally, the addition of the T/C cuts...
Thanks Don, I'll take a look at it. Marianne If you were thinking about using a 1.4x T/C on a lens, you are definitely going to take a hit in focusing speed....
