Sold the kit lens. Wasn't happy with it! I'm after that 35mm after crop. So the 24mm seemed perfect. Just wish I could use it before purchasing. I have a 50mm Prime and for myself & the fish to be in focus, the camera needs to be 2.8m away. Which when fishing can be tricky. Its frustrating as I...

I did have a look at the reviews on there as well. It seems it should work with the A200. I'm after a lens to take fishing for the self take trophy shots. This might be a little wide. I'm currently using the Minolta Mini Beercan. 35-70mm I wish I knew someone who could lend me it for a week...

Hi! I'm considering this lens for my trusty A200, but I have read that not all modern DSLR cameras are compatible with this type of lens. In terms of specifics, I don't really have any, that is simply what I read on a Flickr discussion group...

Thanks a lot Paul, really appreciate that! Mike

Thanks for the response Jonathan. I would be using AF-S. I did read about an intervalometer for a different camera that each shot refocuses. But the one I posted on eBay doesn't mention it... Obviously when shooting with a wireless remote, I have to half press the shutter to focus. Would the...

I need an Intervalometer for my self takes when fishing. I want it to take 10 photos in intervals of 2 seconds, however I require a refocus between each shot. Does anybody have any experience with the remotes available on eBay...

It came out bright green originally. You can either convert to B&W or adjust the White balance in Adobe RAW. Have a look on YouTube for lots of great tips. Mainly trial and error. But it is fun nevertheless!!

Thank you :) I think it's the glass. I'm using the 18-70mm kit lens. But not had that problem before. Really enjoyed it though. Can't wait to get out and have another go.

My first try. Can't wait to get out and have another go!

Well, the results came out better than expected & I am pretty happy with my first attempt. I definitely prefer the Black & White Conversions. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pike04/sets/72157637728310663/ Thats the set. Thanks

I have some shade 10 welding glass. I want to try some Looong exposures during the day. I'll be using my A200. I have tried stacking stars before with this and get the purple corners. I guess they are common... My question/s is, has anybody used welding glass during the day with a Sony A200 and...

My recommendations would be to get win 7 over win 8. And secondly, if you consider building it yourself, you let someone you know build it, ensure the use of an anti static wrist strap. This will save u potential future headaches.

All looks good apart from the Windows 8 installation

Thanks for this, I have been looking at a Cokin P series Graduated set. I also like the look of a tobacco graduated filter. Thanks for the replies :) I did aquire a British made Filtek 67mm square filter set the other day, shame they are to small to fit the P series holder, but they have...
