Re: specs
Very strong subject, a picture with a message. I was trying to write something like the cup is distracting, crop to have the face bigger, but when I tried myself, it didn't work. I like the cup. It places it isn a tea room/cafe. I would crop the blue thing at the bottom though, and perhaps blur the...

Re: manual focus lenses
I am looking at buying a couple of old manual focus photo lenses. I want to use them on my Alpha 700, my question is will they attach to the camera? I will be using them in controlled portrait work. Well that depends upon the lens mount, and what adapters are available for it... M42 mount - yes wit...

Re: Image circle of DT lenses on FF cameras
[oh...and fairly sure when I checked the Sig 10-20 it's always a circle] Yep - Sigma 10-20mm definitely doesn't work well on FF (apologies for the poor images and lack of details - I just took a few snaps on the end of a film and forgot that I couldn't check the Exif details later :( )... 10mm: htt...

Re: Will UK A700 cashback be extended again?
Thoughts, anyone - will any Photokina announcement put an end to the A700 Cashback deals, or be more reason for it to be extended beyond 30/09/08 ? Is it just me that dislikes the whole cashback idea? Personally, I want to be able to buy off the shelf at the reduced price, and not mess about sendin...

Re: EXIF in multipe layer pictures
The files are Jpegs. But I believe that all those programs only allow to add infos to the XMF file. The essential infos about the camera settings etc (which are read-only) cannot be edited. So as far as I have understood the instructions (I didn't actually download one) I would not be able to use t...

Re: EXIF in multipe layer pictures
Dr. Harout pointed out (thanks..) that nearly all of the pics in my gallery are lacking the EXIF. The reason is that I created a "frame" in PS and copied the resized picture into it. PS seems to use the exif of the Layer 0 or the Background. Is there a way to transmit the exif of the pict...

Re: Question related to Teleconvertors
Currently i own 70-300G lens and 28-135 F4-4.5 lens, Is there any teleconvertor available which can be used on both these lenses (2x Teleconvertor). does the teleconvertor from sony support this. I am pretty sure that the Sony teleconvertor will not work with either so you need to look for third pa...

Re: WHICH FLASHES & ACCESSORIES SHOULD I GET?
Which Flashes should I get? I want to purchase two off camera flashes for use in automotive pictures. Then move onto three eventually. I would like to control them wirelessly and obviuosly off a slave unit. (kind of like a pocket wizard set up) Does Sony offer anything like this? Sony alpha cameras...

Re: A700 and Alien Bee
When I first fired the camera I only ended up with the lower half of the frame exposed. After several tries, I thought I would see what happened if I flipped up the on camera flash and the whole frame is exposed-somewhat under exposed but I did have a decent photo. I have the flash setting in the c...

Their reply i could not believe they said this lens is not on our list and therefor is not compatible with a700! can you believe this as i cant. any views please. It is listed as compati...

Re: Sony a100, Vertical Grip : Dicain? Opteka? from Where?
Yeah, I think I'm going to go with that, but I'd like to leave this open, so people can share experiences with 'cheap' eastern overseas sellers, as well. Those sites you recommended doesn't carry the Dicain, only other sites that have little customer reviews (other than eBay seller ratings, which I...

Re: How much do you use your ultra wide angle?
Bingo - I think I have got it... One is the point (or field) of focus in front of the lens, and one is behind it. So if you have a very narrow depth of focus, but the plane onto which you are focusing (e.g. the sensor) is not within that depth then your image will always be out of focus for the enti...

Re: How much do you use your ultra wide angle?
(Sticks head above parapet, and prepares to look like a fool)... Call me mister thickie if you like, but I still do not get the difference between depth of field and depth of focus. I am fairly comfortable with the concepts of DoF, Circles of Confusion etc. I have been aware for a long time that wid...
