I believe the Dicain one works. The one I was given came from a third party original maker whose name I forget, since the item is also unbranded! I believe this is made by Jenis ( http://www.hkjenis.com/ ). There are basically three 3rd party grips available for the A100... The Dicain one, the ownu...

I feel like I'm getting some soft images, but it may just be obvious issues. I have five Minolta lenses that I got soon after my a700 about three months ago, so I'm just getting going with this gear. Here are four test shots I have posted, using both the 135mm f/2.8 and 200mm f/2.8 APO. What these ...

Hey, Worcestershire ain't so bad!
...anyway, hello and welcome, from another Worcestershire A100 owner.

Dear All, I have an Minolta 5D which I find great to use. But I'm considering a upgrade to eitehr the A200, A300 or A350. What I woul dike to do is add a flashgun or two to my current system but that would also work with the new camera when funds allow its purchase. I would also like to use a flash...

I have read that the Terms and Conditions for Amateurs to enter the World Photography Awards mean that entrants lose their copyright of their entered photos. Is this right ? Not at all... Copyright remains with the photographer. You are, however, giving them permission to use the photo for promotio...

Any ideas how to get at the RAW images. I would like to print one. How are you downloading, and how are you viewing? My g...

Mine was OK but after a few weeks of use, stopped focusing on infinity. I attempted to correct it, but the best it would do no matter what adaptors I use was 20cm focus. It was approx 0.3mm wrong in focus position. In the end I chucked the dismantled parts in the office bin rather than waste any mo...

Hi there, Has anyone here attempted to use a Peleng 8mm fisheye on either a Sony A100 or a Minolta Film cameras (I have a dynax 5 and a 7000i and would like to be able to use it on one or both)? I would be interested in your experiences. I have seen one advertised as being for Minolta AF mount. I th...

Lateral thinking - I like it. My vote is that it goes in.

I think the USB connector is also fairly fragile. Do you think so? It seems tougher to me, but this is completley unsubstantiated - just a gut feeling on it. My other reasoning (which has somewhat more logical grounding) is that a damaged USB port would generally not make the camera unusable. I cou...

People say that you should use multiple smaller capacity cards rather than a single huge capacity card in case you have a card failure. However, I cannot remember reading any posts reporting card failure but have read many posts of people damaging (bending) the contact pins on their cameras during ...
