Re: What is the right ISO for A700?
For flash indoor portraits, I usually use the M mode. Choose a speed around 1/15s & 1/30s. ISO400/800. Aperture depends on the lens and the subject. Using ISO400/800 & slow speed allows to "bring back" some background lights. At ISO100, you usually get a bright person and a dark ba...

Re: Wireless flash question
The other way is to go entirely manual with ebay wireless triggers.

Re: PMA 2009
If Sony releases an affordable FF camera like A800, they need cheaper alternative to ZA 24-70/2.8 and the other F/2.8 zooms. I see a ZA 24-85/4.0 SSM :) A good 24-105/4.0 would be more expensive. And maybe 17-40/4.0 & 70-210/4.0 (updated Beercan) But I heard that Sony is selling more ZA 24-70/2....

Lightroom CA settings thread
Some of you are sharing some lens CA settings for Lightroom in different threads.
What about centralizing all that information into a "sticky" thread?

Re: 5 New cameras in 12 months; 6 new cameras in the next 12 mos
This is the world viewed from an electronics manufacturer: focus on camera bodies. Then you totally forget the immense superiority of the Nikon & Canon lens range (in number and types of lenses, not quality). - Minolta 28/2.0, 35/2.0 & 50/1.7 should be reactivated (maybe add a new coating) t...

Re: Beercan on Alpha 900
Yes, same question for the 50/1.7 :D It feels like they don't care about the "mid range" market or maybe their factories are already running at max capacity. The a900 partly targets landscape photographers, too bad 28/2.0 & 35/2.0 are also discontinued. Do you thing the guys who design...

Re: Beercan on Alpha 900
Very sharp indeed.
Why didn't Sony relabel this one (maybe also add SSM)?
Did they loose the blueprints?

Hello from Shanghai
I'm French living in Shanghai. I started photography long time ago with a Dynax 7000i, 7xi & 9xi. Then moved to Canon land. 450d 17-55/2.8IS 28/1.8 50/1.4 85/1.8 I now think of buying a a900 & Zeiss lenses. You can see my work on photo.net http://photo.net/photos/eric.phan-kim" onclick=...
