Thanks, Sonolta

Just 1 more question,

what colour space to use

sRGB or AdobeRGB

Cheers, Stephen

Hi Dr

Must be due to the Tamron 2x tele-converter, when I use the 50mm on it's own EXIF show it has a 50mm F1.7 , I guess the 2x is really a 2.1 x tele-converter.

Can't wait to try it on a full moon with my sig 170-500mm, on the a350 it would be a 1500mm f8-9

Cheers, Stephen

A350 + Tamrom 2x + Minolta 50mm 1.7

Thanks for the links, Sonolta, in the links it states to change the resolution to 300dpi images , but I can't find where it say this on alamy.
is 300dpi a standard for printing ?

Cheers, Stephen

Hi David

I guess using the Sony Image Data Convert to resize the image will not do? I notice when I convert a RAW to Tiff from the a350 I get a 41MB file, so I gues it does not need a lot of upsizing?

Cheers, Stephen

Hi Sonolta

Might be a good time to extend the warranty , before you send it in

If you need someone to come over and take shots of the cheerleaders let me know


Stephen

thanks all

picked up a a350 today

now to start playing

Cheers, Stephen

Thanks David Have you ever used a Minolta 600si film slr? if yes, can you guess how the focus speed of the 600si is to the a350? the 600si only shoots at 2 fps, so I'm used to the slow frame rate :) My biggest concern with the a350 was all the reviews that seemed to suggest it had problems at iso400...

Hi All

Looks like my funds will not stretch to an a700, so looks like a350 is the next choice

I would like to know what a350 owners think it, pos/neg, when it works well/when it doesn't ?

Cheers, Stephen

Hi All

Has anyone used a Alpha with a T-ring and telescope? if yes where did you get your t-ring from. I ordered one years ago for my film slr's but it never fitted right, the cost of sending it back to the states was more then I paid for it.

Cheers, Stephen

Thanks all.

I'll need to spend some time in a store and play with both units
Looking at the specs only the a700 main controls are closer to those on the my 600si film SLR.

thanks again
Stephen

Hi All I have some old Minolta Kit, 300 and 600si bodys, Minolta 50mm 1.7, min 70-210 4.5, 30-80mm powerzoom and a Sigma 170-500 all over 10 years old but in good condition. I'm sick of taking photos with a Pan FZ10, which the salesman sold has being has "good has a SLR " brought before mi...
