Look at the ISO 1600 image taken with my new camera phone at Burger King, where I’m a busboy. Actually, I should own this place with the amount of money I’ve spent here. I chose this shot to show you not because I thought National Geographic magazine would see it and give me a call, but because I knew …
New Toy alert! I finally bought a new phone, and it has a pretty decent camera, which I reviewed here. I’ve been buying Ericsson/Sony Ericsson phones since the late 90s, and they’ve always been good.

This time the Sony 28mm F/2.8 and the Minolta AF 28mm F/2 go head to head, with the same basic tests, (but different subjects) as the Sony 28mm had in the last comp. You’ll also be able to extrapolate the differences between the Minolta 28mm F/2 and …
The great Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 lens review is ready. Once again I’d like to thank a kind reader, Steve from CT for making it possible for me to review the Tamron lens. It’s a good way to help me, and others in the Sony/Minolta community.
The crops taken for the APS-C section in the review confirm my findings in …
