Jonathan, I will second your recommendation for the A900. It is a great camera. I recently acquired a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. I used it a little - so far - so good. I researched the lens and the comparisons with the CZ and the SAL it looked very good. Price didn't hurt (as much) either.

Re: Sony Alpha Wireless Flash Help

I have the same flash with A300s with the same problem and I gave up. I bought a Minolta 5600HS on Ebay. Great flash - more powerful.

Re: Welcome to our Forums

Dear David, I am a new member and this is great. I am a retired newspaper photographer (73-years-old) and I have evolved from the 4 X 5 Speed Graphic, Linholf, and even an 8 X10 studio view camera to Konica/Minolta/Sony. During my darkroom days I was always amazed to see an image come up on a piece ...

Re: Alpha A100 A700 used professionally ?

I am a retired newspaper photographer and have photographed a lot of weddings using film. Several years ago I made the switch to digital and I love it. I have been using a KM 5D and I am about to add an Alpha 200. I really don't want to be bothered with presenting proofs and going through the proces...
