For all the people that have donated over the last month, thanks very much. I haven’t been able to reply to some of you using the email address from the payment notification message for some reason, (failed delivery), but don’t think the donation goes unnoticed!! If you’d like to send a separate message, I’d be happy to hear from …
I’ve updated the following lenses with full frame results, and added additional crops and text to the main reviews;
Check ’em out if you’re thinking of buying one, or haven’t visited the page recently. I’m working on the Sony 20mm F/2.8 review and should have it ready by the weekend.…

Check out the finale of the fast mid-range zoom reviews. The Sony 24-70mm F/2.8 SSM Carl Zeiss turned in a great performance. If you use your camera everyday for work, the Sony would be a great choice, amateurs wanting a fast zoom of this focal length may benefit by sticking with the very good Minolta AF 28-70mm F/2.8 G…
The Minolta AF 24-50mm F/4 lens review has been updated with full frame results. It’s not a bad little lens, but there’re better choices in my opinion.

I’ve added the two new …
I have the Konica Minolta AF 28-75mm F/2.8 (D) review ready. This lens produces sharp centers, even at F/2.8, but the image periphery is soft unless stopped down hard, especially on a full frame camera. If you’re using an APS-C body, you might consider the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8, which would give a better zoom range in my opinion, …
Back by popular demand is another installment of “Odds and ends” of the day. This time I’ve posted a few shots from my hikes this past couple of weeks in the local mountains. The page has some fall color and a few weird shots as well. All the images were taken with the ever-present Panasonic FX100 pocket …
It looks like my prediction (last entry below) was right. Sony has made the price cuts permanent, and then some. They’ve added even more price cuts in just the last couple of days. They quietly lowered the 500mm F/8 reflex $50 to $649. Also changed from earlier in the week is the 100mm F/2.8 macro, now $589 instead of …
