Zoom Options

Well the only reason I have clung to the a77 after picking up the a99 was for the crop factor and the extra reach. But I am wanting to trim down and make life easier and not have to carry the extra body. So I am looking at a good zoom under a grand. I would like also to have the 1.4 tele converter i...

Re: Birds 2013

Thanks Pat. Pat you/I would get prosecuted here as well if you were caught murdering a cat, but for that you need absolute proof, witnesses or a confession. Thing is cats aren’t a natural part of the landscape or eco system in Oz so they do immense damage, they have sent species to extinction here f...

Re: Birds 2013

We have, in my home town, a family of Eagles that have moved in. They have chosen a fairly strange place to nest. Just off of a parking lot at a local college. But what a beautiful bird?

Re: Tamron have gone a bit nuts too

I am using a converted Leica R 90mm. Other than being MF I can't see getting a better 90mm than the Leica. Prices are low if you shop hard enough.

Re: 17-35mm G version or 16-35mm Carl Zeiss

Thanks. I'll save my pennies for something other than the 16-35mm. I would imagine its much heavier the the KM. I kind of disagree with Kurt on the D vers G though. I do have far less flares to deal with and less CA.
I really appreciate the input.

Re: Picture getting published

Thanks again. I sent them a large print. We have a super nice printer at work. It was 18x32 or something like that.

17-35mm G version or 16-35mm Carl Zeiss

How much difference are there in the two lenses. I have the 17-35mm G version which I like more than the D version I had. But is the 16-35mm worth going after?

Picture getting published

I had the Cartersville and Bartow County Convention and Visitor Bureau contact me several weeks ago asking permission to use my Alatoona Dam & Supermoon shot for publication. It is going into three publications next month. I also got a small write up. Shot was made with a Sony a850 and Carl Zeis...

a99, Rock City and Christmas Lights....

It was COLD on the mountain last night. I haven't been to Rock City since I was a kid.
