David, Thank you for responding. I was talking to a Photo store guy that usually gets things right. He said that the APS-size image produced by these lenses is...
All right, David! You finally forced me to subscribe to Photo Club Alpha! When do you expect more details on the projected Sony Cameras? Jack Casner Kansas...
... usually gets things right. He said that the APS-size image produced by these lenses is not big enough to cover K-M's 'moving receptor'. Since I got into...
... Thanks Jack! I would expect to hear more by around May 25th if there is a June launch. I now doubt this. It's getting too close. I think we will see a late...
Thanks Jack! I would expect to hear more by around May 25th if there is ... I have a sizable amount of money tied up in Canon gear - my camera is a 5D. This is...
David, Thanks for the reply. I always 'bother to study' the shots (g). 1) AS tracks subject-movement, of any type. That raises the limits of movement. 2) Does...

This subject has gone around a few times already, and I have learned a few things from several of the members: 1) Sigma, Tamron and others have brought out new...

I have the Zeiss zoom and the 85mm lenses. They are up to Zeiss standards. I have had zero problems with the lenses. The zoom has more plastic than the 85mm. I...
Hi, I am a new SLR user and have a query. With a snap and shoot camera, you can take a picute of, e.g. Tower Bridge at night, and the shot comes out ok. With...

As I have to use a walking stick these days Leon, I am considering using a monopod instead when going for a walkabout with the camera, for use instead of a...
Hallo Jack, ... fine work! Can you tell us something about your Zeiss lens and may be how it compares against the Kit SAL 18-70mm? Best greetings Hans...
... Hi, Hans! First the ladder. I believe I would have to use a helicopter to make very much difference in altitude. I drive a Honda and it has no room for...
