I know I am going to sound like a complete do-do :oops: but I have had a Minolta 50 1.7 (serial # 1112000) which came with all sorts of odds and ends when I bought a 7D in a bag on ebay ayear or so ago. Never really got round to trying the 50 1.7 (the 7D has long since been moved on to a friend new ...

I will admit that it can be far too tempting just to put it at 10 for the drama, IDM Hi Ian Cracking wide shot of a refuelling spike. I recently bought the Sig 10-20 but confess to hardly ever using it yet. Now I've seen your shot I have been looking at the exhast pipes on my bonneville in a comple...

Thanks for the thought David, however we already have a Tesco in the town too. And a Wilkinsons, whatever that is? But I have always been impressed with Co-op's sincerity, which is why we have given them support. I note the comment from the newsreel footage that they suspect baddies tried to torch t...

Not earth shattering but for anyone attempting to view the photographs I have posted here (including the boring ones :roll: ), I'm enjoying a problem with my server and they are not currently accessible. But it's hardly a problem in comparison as I have just got home from work to discover no water ....

I live in a very quiet Rutland village, so please slow down as you enter

I thought the RAF had decomissioned the Vulcan from active service, but they must have a few still flying Greg Hi Greg Actually, it is the very last remaining flying Vulcan in the world, privately owned by a consortium of enthusiasts. I understand that it cost £20,000 every time it takes to the air...

So there I was, last Friday, first day of decent weather for months. Pottering in the garden. Seems that the local RAF base was having a bit of an airshow..... good job I had my a700 & Minolta 300 f4 with me. Not a sight you see every day of the week :o http://www.brianyoungphotography.co.uk/web...

This just gets better and better. And all for a shot I took without any thought.

Just wait 'till I post some more of my rubbish

Keep 'em coming

Brilliant responses all.

Can you guess what she is saying?



Taken from P&O cruise ship Ventura, alongside in Tallin, Estonia - painting the hull of the cruise ship Balmoral.

My tuppenceworth: I bought my 300 f4 a few months ago and took it with me on a Baltic cruise last month for its first real workout. I can't make a comparison, only having this lens of the two, but the Minolta is - o u t s t a n d i n g . Used it with my a700 on a monopod and handheld in good light, ...

Thanks all for the welcome. One tiny point, on your website, couldn't work out how to view the Exif????? But liked the shows. Good point. I was using JAlbum initially to display my photographs and that did include exif display. But I recently "upgraded" to the bananalbum skin, which I like...

Wonderful KM/Sony site. I have been lurking for a while :oops: but feel compelled to register and contribute a little. Just had a wonderful photocruise around the Baltic on the P&O ship Ventura. Took 1507 shots with my beloved a700. Posted a few on my website at http://www.brianyoungphotography....
