Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Egg on face.....I never looked under the funny looking plastic foot :oops: Yep, that solved that one...hopefully. So that leaves me with just the flash "off camera" to sort. Can I trigger both from the A900 without mounting one on camera, or would I need to have 3 flashe...

Hi, I upgraded my a700 to the a900 and now cant use my F42AM flash off camera. I also purchased a second hand flash stand kit, two stands, umbrellas, reflectors etc but can't use the flashes on them because they are standard flash mounts.

Ordered the 900 yesterday form warehouse express at 3pm, arrived next day at 8am! It's beautiful! Worst bit was having to wait for the batt to charge.

I also saw a Vivitar Series 1 19~35mm which apparently has a very good rep, this was going for £75 but the various fo...

Thanks - sounds like a nice collection, CZ, are they as good as everyone makes out or is it just the name you are paying for?

Errm, cause I don't want a video recorder, I want a fully featured camera, even if it does have mechanical parts that will eventually wear out.

Hi, First post here, great forum by the way :) Just selling my A700 on eBay plus APS-C adapted lenses, which I will need to replace at some point. I've looked at the A850 & A900 and have decided to go for the faster FPS on the A900......but, I am now only left with my old Minolta lenses which am...
