Tell us about your camera and how you use it. What’s the one thing you like the most about your camera? Are you using a cameraphone? They are great for shooting when you come across an unexpected spectacular moment. Some of the excellent moments have been captured on cameraphones. Or are you using a DSLR?
If you are still making up your mind to buy one, you can check out the quick buying guide here. Tell us what you’d like to know more about your camera. We are coming up with some great posts for the camera owners so have your say before we start.
We have been covering a lot of basic and technical topics on the photography front in the last one month. We’d like to know you better and collect your suggestions.

Hi Maria,
I purchased the Alpha 700 when it was released. I still use my old Minolta Dynax/Maxxum lenses on it and they work well. So don’t be shy if you have access to some good Minolta AF lenses.
In the meantime … what do you intend to do or why are you looking to buy a new lens ?
I find its better to match a lens to the requirements than buy a lens and try and work out why you bought it :-)
Any zoom with a fixed apparture rating like 2.8 wont be cheap. So that takes me back to Why ?
Have a great day,
Paul P
Hi Paul,
thx for your quick reply…
hmmmm why….I really like to take pics of many things…but mostly people and dramatic natural light effects (like in the woods and stuff)…I love sharpness and focus but at the same time kinda blurry backgrounds that’s why I thought about a 2.8
I noticed that It is expensive (to me at least ;)) but now that you say that minolta lenses work well with it I guess that will give me a higher chance to find one :)
If you have better suggestions I’ll be happy to hear them :)
thank you very much
kind regards
Maria
