Hello to all,
I just joined after looking around for awhile. I am fairly new to digital photography and wishing to learn. I have no formal education in photography and consider it a hobby, one that I hope to spend more time with.
My current camera is a Knoica/Minolta 7D. I have already experienced FFB and sent the camera in to be repaired. Other than that this camera is great. It is so user friendly and everything is very easy to reach.
I look forward to making some new friends, sharing ideas and learning new things
Greetings from Florida
Hi Carl,
I do like the 7D but I'm not having to much luck getting the photos I want. I just spoke with a pro about the lenses I have and it didn't go to well. I was told that the Tamron 28-105 f-2.8 wasn't a very good lens for taking sharp photos. I guess I'm going to have to invest in some better glass.
As for the A700 I'll have to see how they perform. I was really hoping that K/M would have come out with a 9D before they sold to Sony, but who knew that was going to happen. I also have a Maxxum 9 film body that I like very much.

Hi Carl,
Again thanks for the advice. What brand lens would you consider? I have used a Sigma 16mm fish eye on my Maxxum 9 and really liked the results. But when used on the 7D with the 1.5 factor results changed, took the uniqueness out of the shot.
The Sigma was all metal construction and felt well built, that's why I ask.

Wouldn't do much good as we have the 8mm on the Sigma SD14 camera - which has a 1.7X sensor, and the circle nearly covers that entirely. There is some more cropping to be done on a 1.5X sensor. I don't have the Sigma 8mm for Alpha mount.Doug wrote:David,
I didn't think of that but it does make sence. Could you post a photograph taken with the 8mm before it's croped?
