Re: Old, derelict buildings

Hey guys, the building in my picture is the Michigan Central Station it's a abandoned train station in Detroit, MI.

Really an amazing building unfortunately the city hasn't been able to do anything with it and it's been abandoned since 1988. It was the cities main rail hub when it opened in 1913.

Re: 70-300 Problem - Focusing error

Okay I got the lens back today and have to say I'm pretty happy. Everything works great and looks great. It did come with a slip but I'm not sure exactly what the description means other than what it says. Maybe someone with more technical experience can explain, this is how it reads: A153... Middle...

Re: 70-300 Problem - Focusing error

Thanks David, unfortunately I already shipped it today... I really wanted to get it out so I can get it back! Hopefully it has nothing to do with operator error. :oops: The only thing I would be concerned is maybe I turned the focus ring when trying to zoom in, due to them being switched around. Oth...

Re: 70-300 Problem - Focusing error

Thanks Javelin- You must have some pretty extensive knowledge on the design of this lens. I just hope I can get it back ASAP with no problems. I'm not sure what would cause the clutch to crack? I really take great care of all my equipment, this lens has been in my bag and handled with care. I haven'...

Re: 70-300 Problem - Focusing error

Thanks! I just got off the phone with support. I'm sending it to Laredo tomorrow I was told I'd have it back in 7-10days. Hmm stripped gear that's interesting I wonder what causes that? Hopefully it's not something I did! I really haven't had a chance to use the lens that much over the last month I'...

70-300 Problem - Focusing error

OK hello again I haven't really posted much on here but I do read a lot and I have to thank you guys/girls again for that. Well I'm having a problem with my 70-300G lens on my A700.

Re: Problem with α700 Raw Files & Photoshop

I came across this description involving the camera RAW update and deleting the newer one and reverting back to the old 2.1. It seems it worked for a few people I'm going to try later today. Thanks for all the help! I know Aperture is quite demanding but I don't have too much of a problem with it I'...

Re: Problem with α700 Raw Files & Photoshop

So it's best to use DRO off when shooting RAW?

The problem I'm having is the over exposure everything is over exposed 1.5 stops when importing raw images into aperture compared to the same JPG.

Thanks for responding so fast.

Re: Problem with α700 Raw Files & Photoshop

Hi first time posting here. I am writing to say I have this same problem and have posted a question on dpreview but really didn't get that much help. I actually use Apple Aperture and am experiencing this same problem. (Strangely enough it provides an accurate portrayal for a moment and then reverts...
