    Wondering if I could change these lenses...

    Why don't use try out the SAL16-50 or CZ16-80.. play around for awhile, if unhappy, you could always get a cheap 75-300 to plug into the telephoto end. I have a SAL16-50, and tried out the cropping trick, but even then, the telephoto (though a very cheap lens) still wins the battle at the far end.

    Sal16-50 doesnt like tamron tc

    Indeed the Tamron TC only has 5 pins. In short, I shall assume it cannot work with any SSM lens? BTW, my 28-75 f2.8 is a KM, and it has 8 pins as well. Like you mentioned, it's prob screw-driven...

    Sal16-50 doesnt like tamron tc

    I tried to use the sal16-50 with a old tamron 2x tc on the a77. However, I was unable to take any photos, in fact, an aperture couldn't be obtained. Anyone had similar issues? The tc works with my full frame 28-75 on the a77. I wonder if the tc can only work with full frame and not dt lenses.

    Re-supply of A65/77. When?

    7D has been with me for 7 years... frankly, it is still excellent. But it's time to embrace technology... higher res, twilight mode, sweep pano, evf, the list goes on. Most importantly, a77 shoots video! Plus, I like the range of the 16-50, and the f2.8. Finally something to replace my...

    Re-supply of A65/77. When?

    After first gracing this forums with my 7d, I am finally the owner of a brand new a77, with the 16-50. Got it from parisilk at 2430 today, I believe they still have stocks. Now... What do I do with my 7d and the lens?

    REVIEW - Panasonic LX5

    Yeap, I tried this... it allows 3 shots to be taken (non-bracketed) so you have to put it on tripod. Possibly what I was looking for.. i'll check it out when i get home. Thanks

    REVIEW - Panasonic LX5

    Hi DM, you seemed to have tried out most of the features... however, I can't find any mode for HDR... any hints? Anyway, having took out the cam on 2 occasions, I do have some comments to add... So far, from what DM has shown us, the image quality is rather good (for a P&S at least). What...

    3rd party sucks

    Not just the ink... sometimes an incorrect paper setting may cause print mismatch (ie. setting plain paper when u're using premium). That said, I swear by original inks... and papers from Epson, my favorite being Premium Semigloss. Not to mention they look like freshly printed even after 2...
