If I would have a FF in my camera bag, I sure would go find a diagonal fisheye lens. And since I'm used to the crop factor I'd be on the outlook for a some extra mm in zoom or fixed focal point (up to 300 or 400 mm). But first a fisheye

First of all, a very happy, healthy and inspiring 2010 to the reader! And thanks for the replies and new ideas you gave me. Tomorrow I will test my example of the KM 17-35 and see if it it matches expectation. In the mean time, the KM 28-75 has been sold to someone else. Interestingly, the used pric...

Hi all, Currently, I'm looking for some new glassware. I know I recently bought a Sigma 70-200 F2.8 HSM (and some extra added terms). Right now the focus is on the 20-70 mm range roughly. I'm looking at two lenses at the moment (both second hand on e-bay like site in Holland). 1. KM 17-35 F2.8-4.0 2...

The first 70-200 shots will go public on my redbubbel site. But there are several of them online already. See them at www.peterschrijftmetlicht.nl/haarlem (50 pics, divided over 5 pages). A few of these series have been taken with the 70-200mm. All files have a name/tag which is visibl in the lower ...

Congratulations with your new optics! Same here: bought it recently and used it a lot during a shoot in the city of Haarlem (Netherlands). It's wonderful! Making the decision to buy it took some time, but was easier thanks to the user reviews on this forum. To all of you: thanks so much!

Thanks you all for your thoughts and advice. Yesterday I bought my copy of an A700. Today I did some shooting in my appartment as a first try with some settings. And I can tell you that I am extremely happy with it! It looks great, is fast, silent (compared to the KM D5D) and had lots of extra butto...

Now things get clear to me :-) Thanks for the advice! Based on what you all write, a new A700 will be the best thing to do. Just enjoy all the extra's this camera brings. And IF there's still a desire to get myself some new lenses, than that's the next step, not the first. And yes, the macro lens is...

So, the A700 is a real upgrade in quality, speed, etc. I'm not a sports or action photographer, so for me the speed isn't the first thing to look at. Of course, the larger files are nice when there's a need for some cropping. But I also read in Sonolta's reply that the ISO and colours of the D5D are...

Since this is my first post on this forum, let me introduce myself: I'm Peter, a 30 year old photography enthusiast from The Netherlands. In the 35mm film years, I worked with a Minolta Dynax 5000i that used to be my grandfathers camera. When switching to digital, I chose the Konica Minolta D5D at t...
