Re: Minolta (Sony) 500F8 Reflex
Nice shots Valery! I've been bogged down with work and haven't had a chance to get out to do any photography, so here are a few from my archives. :) A99, Sony 500mm Reflex, F8, 1/2500, ISO 4000 DSC03624.jpg A99, Sony 500mm Reflex, F8, 1/2000, ISO 12800 DSC06665.jpg A99, Sony 500mm Reflex, F8, 1/1250...

Re: Minolta (Sony) 500F8 Reflex
Thanks everyone. :) Even though this lens was designed to be a compact/lightweight telephoto, I often challenge myself to find ways to use its odd bokeh to create something artsy. :) Sig There were purple lights in the bushes behind this skeleton. The len's bokeh makes them look a bit like spooky ey...

Re: Minolta (Sony) 500F8 Reflex
Thanks Valery! I think that sports fans would go nuts for this lens too. Usually you have to have a "press pass" in order to get into a stadium with a big lens, but no one at the gates gives this small lens a second look. I get the usual "come on in and have a nice day" greeting....

Re: Minolta (Sony) 500F8 Reflex
Thanks for starting the thread, Valery. I like those landscapes. :) Is there a name for that type of rock art? I think that it’s a shame that this lens was discontinued now that we finally have cameras with the technology (high ISO and high shutter speeds) that can enable it to be used effectively w...

Re: Back in the theater
I was able subscribe to Saint Louis Ballet's You Tube channel and watched a couple of recent behind-the-scenes video uploads from former dancers. Looking forward to the streamed performance. Much love and appreciation for everyone involved! :D Thanks Yildiz! Here the link to my "ticket" f...

Re: A99-2
Great shots as usual Valery! I love the last one with the Autumn colors. :) The 500 F8 is a fun lens. I have one as well. I always take it along when go out for walks with my camera in tow. It's nice to see that there are others who value it. Maybe someone should start a 500 F8 thread? :D Sig

Re: Pigeon Point Light House, Pescadero, California
Beautiful sunset! I really like the second shot. I also like the ambience of the wood fence/railing in the first shot but unfortunately it hides the shoreline. I’m guessing that an angle with the fence, the shoreline, and the sunset wasn’t functionally possible. Oh well, we take what we can get, rig...
