\nRandom geeking time again! Here’s the Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4.0 EX at 17mm F16 on the A900.<\/p>\n


\nsmashpOp<\/a> and Rames<\/a> behind, from left to right:
\nMinolta 50mm F1.7 Original, Sony 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 DT, Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4.0 EX, Sony 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DT, Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA, Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm F2.8G.<\/p>\n


\nMy broken Sigma 70-210mm F4.0-5.6 “defocus uncontrolled” at 120mm F4.5 on the A900.<\/p>\n


\nSuanie<\/a>‘s finger becomes bokeh through my Zeiss 135mm F1.8 on the A900. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n


\nThrough the Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG on my A900, the widest rectilinear lens there is.<\/p>\n


\nSniping through the Sony 70-400mm F4.0-5.6G SSM and a 1.5x and 2.0x teleconverter.<\/p>\n


\nWhat 400mm looks like on the A900.<\/p>\n


\nAnother very compressed perspective from the same setup.<\/p>\n


\n70mm F4.0. 70mm on full-frame is very handy for shots that are just too close to you.<\/p>\n


\nA rare classic – the Tamron 28-105mm F2.8, on my Minolta Dynax 7.<\/p>\n


\nSpeaking of which, a lens adapter mishap caused my Dynax 7’s pins to short, with the plastic melting – so it was sunken. I now have to tape over the 3 left-most SSM\/ADI pins in order to use 8 pin lenses (albeit, as 5-pin lenses.)<\/p>\n


\nThe Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 58mm F1.2 on the A200 makes out to be a very sweet 85mm-equivalent portrait lens.<\/p>\n


\nThe owner, through said lens at F1.2 on the A900.<\/p>\n


\nThe Industar 61 L\/Z 50mm F2.8 M42 lens that I once had, on the A700.<\/p>\n


\nThis is what happens when you aren’t careful when swapping lenses. Fortunately there was a filter!<\/p>\n


\nThis is what was shot.<\/p>\n


\nThe beautiful Minolta 35mm F1.4 Original, before it had the G designation. I had to saw off the filter ring so it would loosen.<\/p>\n


\nLeft<\/b>: Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4.0 EX, flare-ful.
\nRight<\/b>: Sony 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 DT, amazing with flare!<\/p>\n


\nCarl Zeiss Flektogon 35mm F2.4 MC DDR, an M42 lens, on my A700, provided great closeup capability and a natural angle of view.<\/p>\n


\nJason through the Zeiss 135mm F1.8 and A900 combo, from one floor above.<\/p>\n


\nOr was it two?<\/p>\n


\nI discovered a bit late that the Soligor 70-220mm F3.5 OM-mount lens that I had, could focus very, very close for a telephoto. Here it is in the hands of its buyer.<\/p>\n


\nThough there is nothing like the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 EX DC Macro. Here’s Iqbal focusing on Mike.<\/p>\n


\nHere’s the Minolta 70-210mm F4 “beercan” at 210mm, with a 50mm lens reversed, on the A700. This gives a magnification of 210:50 or 4.2:1x!<\/p>\n


\nThis image is 5.5mm wide. The A700 sensor is 23.5mm wide, so the magnification is around 23.5:5.5 or 4.2x.<\/p>\n


\nIwan’s infrared and visible light-modded Sony A200. Its infrared-blocking filter had been removed.<\/p>\n


\nOne good use of an Apple Power Mac wrapping – a softbox that you can fold and carry anywhere! Here it is taped to a Nikon SB-900.<\/p>\n


\nI then used my Canon Powershot A520 to trigger it in SU-4 mode.<\/p>\n


\nThe Sigma 24mm F1.8 EX DG through the A900. Sharp and detailed wide open, I’d say!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
