Lenses: Minolta 18-70mm 3.5-5.6 Minolta 50mm 1.7 Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 HSM II Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 I baby my equipment, never bang it, never twist it, always held on a strap, in a case, etc.. The thing is, the camera will autofocus with the lens, and when I try to snap the shot, that's when the error com...

I currently own my second Sony Alpha, an a350. I started with an a200. I've learned enough about photography now to become a little more advanced. I had really hoped to upgrade to an a850 or 900 one day. Sony has a quality control problem in my opinion. My a200 was retired due to the issue of the er...

I'm talking about replacing the camera's mount flange.

I doubt it, but anyone know if it's possibly to change the mount on a Sony Alpha to that of a Nikon or Canon?

They have the kits for Sigmas and some others, I'm asking because I've never seen one for Sony(and doubt I ever will).

Anyone got a solution for sigma rubber that is tacky/sticky?

I don't want to use tape, that just looks haggard. Is there any sort of material I can replace it with?

Thanks in advance!

Well I went ahead and ordered the 70-200mm 2.8. I used to have the 70-200mm BEFORE the HSM. I loved it then and I'm sure it's even better now.

Free shipping and a digital picture frame, plus I had a $50 gift card. Not too bad of a deal .

Well, I am finally able to afford another telephoto. I am torn between the following: Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 HSM Sigma 50-500mm (does this have HSM now or what?) Sigma 150-500mm HSM My questions are: 1. I like taking pictures at the zoo, but occasional fast moving objects as well. Is the 50-500mm withou...

Hi, I've had one of these lenses on my Alpha since November. It is great, I'd avoid using any teleconverters, AF tends to go a little crazy, it does the "range" cycle when using one instead of picking up focus right away. Even in bright sunlight, the teleconverter makes the lens very soft....

I'm using a Sony Alpha A350. The LCD screen is pretty dim in sunlight, it's barely readable. I'm not sure a new LCD is the way to go, but anyone know of replacement ones? I do like the new 230/330/380 series with the white backgrounds and black text, much easier to see. Wish a firmware update came o...

I've figured out how to reproduce the problem. When I zoom all the way out to 28mm, the lens cuts off, I think it has something to do with the interior glass moving forward and being just enough to 'nudge' it off the contacts. As soon as I zoom in just a little, it powers back on. Anyhow, the seller...

Hi, I have a Sony Alpha A200 with numerous lenses(Sony, Minolta, Sigma, etc.). All work fine. I'm attached a Sigma 28-70mm 2.8 EX lens, yes, it's AF. When I attempt to take a picture, it acts like no lens is attached: --AF does not kick in at all --Error message pops up saying "No Lens Attached...

Hey gang, I'm using a Sony A200. I have a Sigma EF-500 Super and want to use wireless. I've figured out how to use it with the on-camera flash as the activator. But what about the whole channel 1/2 part of wireless? Is the Sigma EF500 compatible, it can select the channel. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, Despite my novice-level knowledge and the countless people mentioning their images being underexposed with the Sigma flashes, I ordered one from eBay. It got here, and my worst nightmare came true--all my pictures were extremely dark, underexposed, and not even AEL with compensation fixed it. I ...

Anyone know/heard of companies making a third party vertical grip for the Alpha A200?

I've seen them for the A100, but nothing else.
