Check out the latest, and last Minolta lens review, at least the last Minolta lens I have on hand to review. The Minolta AF 70-210mm F/3.5-4.5 turned in a so-so performance. It really looks better at the long end than the much more popular Minolta AF 70-210mm F/4 beer can, but at the short end, things start to look …
The Sony NEX system is shipping now, but I don’t see the NE-5 with the 16mm lens as being available in the US right now. I’ve added a link above to B&H Photo for the camera and kits, and the link below that on the bottom right is to Sonystyle.com, so you can see what’s available for the system, …
Wow, check out the massive swarm of Ladybugs sitting relatively motionless on the bark of a tree in the mountains. This is not the only tree filled with the bugs, there were a whole bunch of trees with this many, and hundreds with less than this. The trunk of the tree below is about 6′ (1.8m) from the top …

I read Jenkins’ book, …

A slight vertical crop, and a little shadow adjustment on the porch area was all that was necessary in my opinion. Equipment used; Sony A900 with the Sony CZ 24-70mm F/2.8…
Check out the long awaited, and highly anticipated Minolta AF 35-80mm F/4-5.6 shutter cap review. The good news is; it’s small and light-weight; the bad news; well, maybe you should just check out the review, it’s a good way to waste ten minutes, especially if you’re bored at work and want a good laugh.
The little 35-80mm was a …
Sale ends on select Sony lenses (and cameras) June 19th. For some reason, the Sony website has some of the lenses listed for less than B&H Photo. If you want to get a Sony lens or camera from B&H, tell them to give it to you for the same price as Sonystyle.com and they’ll probably do it. They …
