Hoya R72 Infra-red filter review.
If you’re interested in Infra-red photography, you might try one of these Hoya R72 filters out. There are a whole bunch of IR filters out there to choose from, but the Hoya R72 IR filter is redily available, and great for general use. Although they’re somewhat expensive depending on the size, it’ll …
New recommended accessories page, and lens review page changes.
I posted a second recommended product page, this time for accessories, like filters, flashes and other handy items, both pages are listed on the nav bar and right column on the homepage. I also added a few new items to the recommended cameras and lenses page, like the …
Will cheap APS-C only lenses handle 24mp resolution?
Some people are asking if the fictitious A700 replacement camera, (announced well over a year ago, and now known as the A77) which uses a new 24mp APS-C sensor, will be too much for the older APS-C only lenses, which were designed for 6mp, 10mp, and 12mp sensors, depending on how …
Nothing much that’s newsworthy, so another file photo from the A700.
Here’s another sample image using the old and crummy Sony A700, now with a broken mirror. The lens used for this architectural shot was the (also old and crummy) Sigma 10-20mm lens, which I still use and love.

Since I enjoy photographing homes and architecture in general, and reading about great photographers, I thought I’d put together a little background information on one of the most famous house photographs ever taken, the Case Study house #22, (Stahl house). What really made this house famous was Julius Shulman’s 1960 photograph, …
All four 70-200mm F/2.8 lenses compared, and Sony DSLR news.
I posted the final version of the 70-200mm comp using the same crops as I have in each review, but now put side-by-side to see the differences between them. There are some random observations added at the top also. In a nut-shell, I’d say if you’re looking for the …
Sony A390 soon to be obsolete, and thoughts on other stuff.
Sonyalpharumors is reporting the Sony A390 may soon be added to the list of Sony products that are no longer available. If true, the A560-A580 will be the only APS-C cameras with an optical viewfinder, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see those phased out soon too.
