Re: got the 55-210 NEX emoun lens a week or so ago

Congratulations on the new lens. :) I agree that the 55-210 is a little cracker. Nice butterfly on flower pics. I like the colour combination. Last one is my fav. thanks Birma, do you have that lens too? I usually would never buy a long zoom, especially with a 55mm minimum as it's too restrictive f...

Re: Flowers 2013

I'm enjoying the nex 6, so much so I have not had the a580 out for weeks, it's so easy to handle and carry, here are some jpegs from the back garden http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa391/pedrola67/thomasandoliverturtontowerandbbq_2013Jun09_0668.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa391/pedro...

Re: Views on Telephoto Macro?

Well, I went for the Tamron in the end. From all of the reviews and examples I could find online there was nothing to chose between the three optically. The Tamron was cheapest and had the added advantage of being able to use the AF-D points on the A99. It was tempting to go for something a bit lon...
