New for the Nav bar is the “Sony lens chart” page.  I’ve listed every Sony lens made, and the two tele-converters, complete with links to that review (if available) all to makes things more convenient for you.  This is a good place to visit if you want to check the specs for a lens, or to find …

I added more items to the lens price guide page.  This time accessories, including Minolta/Sony flash units, the ring light, and corded remotes, which are way over-priced by Sony.  Get ’em for a fraction of the retail price by buying online, used or after-market.  Sony sells the long corded remote for $69.99, but you can usually get used Minolta …

I whipped up a brief comparison page between the Sony Carl Zeiss 16-80mm F/3.5-4.5 and Sony 16-105mm F/3.5-5.6 lenses.  If you read the 16-105mm F/3.5-5.6 review, you probably don’t need to check it out, it’s mostly the same except I’ve added some different product shots and macro crops taken at the full 12.2mp and cropped, then cropped again for …

The newest addition to the site is the Sony/Minolta AF lens price guide.  This page has been in the works for quite some time, and it’s ready for immediate use.  Notice I’ve put a link on the Nav bar for handy one-click access.  You’ll be able to get an idea of about how much you’re going to need …

Up next for your consideration is the splendid Sony DT 16-105mm F/3.5-5.6 telephoto lens.  I’ve tried to compare this lens with the Carl Zeiss 16-80mm F/3.5-4.5, and as usual, I got carried away. I’m going to do a new comparison review of the two on a separate page.  This review is complete though, you’ll be able to make …

Ok, now I can give you a better idea about what reviews are coming up in the near future.  The sequence will be close to the following:

I’m doing the Minolta teleconverters only because I have them on hand.  Also, I’m working on a Sony/Minolta new/usedHopefully I’ll have most completed by the end of June. *Sony 16-105mm F/3.5-5.6

*Sony/Minolta …

Click me. I’ve completed the Sony 70-200mm F/2.8 G lens review.  Actually, there might be some additions, but it most likely will be in the form of a separate page.  the reason it took so long is because I want to do some more comparisons, but the review just got completely out of hand and was too long.…

Here’s the first of several new/old lens reviews coming in the next couple of weeks.  We’ll start it off with the little Minolta 24mm F/2.8 wide angle lens.  This lens turned in a very good performance.  It has the same basics characteristics as the Minolta 28mm F/2.8, though the 24mm is a little sharper at F/2.8 and F/4.  …
