Default Minolta User...still

Hiee Bros...

I've been receiving PM and SMS asking if I'm selling off my gear to jump ship....
Well...as a reassurance to thos who have PMed me...I'm still a KM user...
I'm having a re-org of my gears to have more focus on nature and macro stuff not to
fork out any extra $$$...so need to let go some stuff.

Thats why I'm trying to lookout for those wired flash setups for some task I'm working on.

I think....the KM scene has been getting more active and its a great sight after those quite first 2 yrs++ in CS...in KM....and with Sony in the picture....i bet they have great stuff up their sleeves....

Hahaha...

Everyone thought you are going to Jump... hehehe..

Good luck mate.. Nature and Macro aren't my area... love my 100mm f2.8 D macro and 50mm f2.8 Macro... but use it for non Nature work. I don't have patience lar

I am still proud Minolta user...

maybe will still be until Sony release something worthwhile for me to upgrade.. hehe.. providing they are not too expensive..

Sure, KM has G lens, Canon has L lens and Nikon has AF-S lens, Leica has their own brand of optics. Don't forget, to get top edge optics you pay top end dollar. Are you willing to spend that kind of money? Wonderful pictures are still churned out with kit lenses. Ultimately its timing. opportunity, effort and the eye behind the lensviewer that produce those memorable images.

Can't agree more with you...

My advise is to stop worrying, just use what you want and get that image you want and you see in your mind eye rather than rely on gear.

Most lenses are sharp enough for most practical purposes.

Big aperture lenses make life easy, but won't make you a better photographer... Reason pro choose large aperture lens and care about sharpeness at wide open is that if they don't get that shot, they could lose the business. But for most people, missing a shot mean just try again..

So don't too worry about what you have, but worry about how to get that shot you want.

Regards,

Hart
