I’ve got a good jump on the Sony CZ 24-70mm F/2.8 and prime comparison comps that I promised last year—whoops.  Well, work keeps getting in the way of my free time.  I’m going to compare the Minolta AF 24mm F/2.8, Sony 28mm F/2.8, Minolta 35mm F/2, and Sony 50mm F/1.4 with the CZ zoom.  This time we start off …

Gila woodpecker flying out of nest in Saguaro cactus.  This image was taken with the Sony 70-400mm @400mm F/5.6.  Obviously, I could’ve used more focal length here to make this a decent shot, but I’m not posting this image because of the overall image quality, I’m attempting to draw your attention to the background on either side of the …

Eh, better late than never right!  I work during the day (mostly) so I can’t update stuff ’til the evening.  Sony pulls the cloth off their newest camera system, calling it NEX, with a new mount, this time an “E” to go along with the “A.”  The next one will have to be an “I” am I correct?  As …

Original or restyled?  Ever wonder what the differences are between the original Minolta prime lenses, and the restyled (new) versions?  Me too.  Well, I was able to compare both versions of the 35mm F/2 and posted this quick comparison page.

If you don’t have time to view the page, I’ll sum it up here.  The new version gets …

I’ve posted another zoom comparison, this time using zoom lenses that go up to 200mm or 210mm.  The format is pretty much the same as the 300mm page.  Don’t try to compare the crops from 300mm to 200mm/210mm because they were taken from a different distance, in this case 20′ or 6.1m.  In the 200mm tele zoom shoot out

I’ve put together what I’m now calling the “quick lens evaluation page” which is the forth link on the nav bar to the left.  This page lists all lenses I’ve reviewed so far, including Sony, Minolta, Tamron and Sigma.  I decided to leave out the Konica Minolta branded lenses, they’re already covered under Sony.

Each lens has …
