The Minolta AF 24-50mm F/4 lens review has been updated with full frame results. It’s not a bad little lens, but there’re better choices in my opinion. I’m planing on updating the Minolta AF 24mm F/2.8, Minolta/Sony 28mm F/2.8, Minolta AF 35-70mm F/4, and the Sony 24-105mm F/3.5-4.5 during the month of December.
I’ve added the two new …
I have the Konica Minolta AF 28-75mm F/2.8 (D) review ready. This lens produces sharp centers, even at F/2.8, but the image periphery is soft unless stopped down hard, especially on a full frame camera. If you’re using an APS-C body, you might consider the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8, which would give a better zoom range in my opinion, …
Back by popular demand is another installment of “Odds and ends” of the day. This time I’ve posted a few shots from my hikes this past couple of weeks in the local mountains. The page has some fall color and a few weird shots as well. All the images were taken with the ever-present Panasonic FX100 pocket …

They quietly lowered the 500mm F/8 reflex $50 to $649. Also changed from earlier in the week is the 100mm F/2.8 macro, now $589 instead of …
It looks like the Sony (DSLR/accessories) unilateral pricing policy (June ’08) is making the executives sweat at night, and in an effort to avoid following in the footsteps of Konica Minolta, they’ve lowered the prices on most camera bodies, and nearly half of their lenses. I’ve always thought Sony high-end lenses and accessories were over-priced, and it looks like …
Since the Sony 50mm F/1.4 lens review is the most popular page on the site, (I think I was the first one to review it a couple of years ago) I thought I’d post the full frame results as quickly as possible in case folks might be thinking about a stocking stuffer for themselves next month. Bokeh and coma …
Looks like I’ve wrapped up work on the A900 review. Check out the latest entry, which is a comparison of results between Sony’s Image data converter SR 3, and Adobe’s Lightroom 2.1 with ACR 4.6. I will say that Lightroom is light years ahead of Sony when it comes to RAW processing. Check out the last comparison on …
