The Sony 18-250mm review has been completed. As expected, it has a lot in common with the Tamron equivalent. I re-shot the 250mm photo crops in the Tamron 18-250mm review to match up with the Sony crops because I know people will want to compare. In unrelated news, and much to my horror, it seems Sony has stopped using …
Time for another lens review, and it’ll be the new Sony 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3. It looks an awful lot like the Tamron I reviewed this summer, but the specs read slightly different in several categories. A complete review should be ready by this weekend. Also for Sony fans, get your new A700 from SONYSTYLE.COM, free shipping ends Thursday. I’ve …
As promised at the beginning of the month, I’ve completed the virtual hiking tour, this time it’s the Finger rock trail to Mt. Kimball, here in Tucson, AZ. I hiked it this past Wednesday, and as usual, it was a great day. Also, I took along the nice Panasonic FX100 pocket camera. This time of year is much nicer …

I’ve finished the Sony 100mm F/2.8 macro review. Click here to check it out. If you’ve read the macro lens shootout, you already know about the lens. On a side note: I sent my Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 back to the factory to have them check the focus. They had it a month. When I got it back I checked …

If you’re interested in reading each individual lens review, I have the Sigma and Nikon macros posted, but I’m still working on the Sony. That should be available in a week or so. The full size macro …
I finally snagged a Nikon 105mm F/2.8 VR “micro” lens as they call it, and it ain’t “micro” at all. I’m going to do a Sigma 105mm, Sony 100mm and Nikon 105mm macro lens shootout for you–and me. Look for the article by next weekend or so. I’ll do the regular lens reviews too. Take note; I’ve also put …
