When I set the focussing option on spot focus, my camera seems to have problems focussing (hunting of the lens, if this is the english term for it) This mainly...
I bought the Sony a100 to also use old lenses from my Minolta 7xi. They all work just fine except one which is not a Minolta lens. Its a Sigma 1:1 macro 90mm...
