It makes things easier when you bring only one lens and it fits other cameras. My first SLR camera was a Minolta SR-1, but I only had the one lensAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-60694424149138655022012-04-04T08:41:45.069-07:002012-04-04T08:41:45.069-07:00My what a big lens you have......

It is good that they can make adapters.<br /><br />I remember back in the day I had a Minolta 35 mm camera with the interchangeable lenses and filters. It was fun to play around with but of course we had to wait for photo developing. There was no instant gratification like there is with digital.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-84649188957423320702012-04-04T08:00:54.181-07:002012-04-04T08:00:54.181-07:00Mr Conchscooter:

The NEX would be good for you as you can snap photos while looking down, as the LCD flips up for viewing and most people wouldn't know you are taking photos. Most of your shots are only for WEB viewing. I am a hobbist and I have a wide carriage printer. I print my own prints up to 13" x 19". I do all of my own framing and mounting, so for me I need a more capable camera. Also as you say, nothing beats the speed of a dSLR for fast action and focusing. If you need a Cdn houseguest it can be arranged for 2014. Save the spot under the stilt house, and leave the Keys to the Bonnie where I can find them, thanks in advanceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-54462987781227169612012-04-04T07:56:14.782-07:002012-04-04T07:56:14.782-07:00Richard:

You just can't use the modern ones with electronic aperatures, you need the aperature RING. If you go to that forum Mlenses I put in the link you will find that ALL adapters will Work. The price differences are for better quality machining, materials and finishing. The cheap ones "GO PAST" infinity, and the good ones have less "mount slop". Usually the ones in the $15. range <em>(includes shipping via: Express Post)</em> are the ones I buy. If you need help or the names of the vendors I bought from, let me know. I do not endorse or recommend them, but I have bought a few, and my cousin has also purchased from the same places, and all of our adapters work without problems, so maybe better than to try a different vendor and have problems<br /><br />Knowing what I know now, I am glad to have both the Canon T2i & Sony NEX-5n as I can use most of older prime lenses on both camerasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-40051286571359920292012-04-04T02:31:26.553-07:002012-04-04T02:31:26.553-07:00I wonder from time to time if I should consider a ...I wonder from time to time if I should consider a digital SLR but then I whip my stupid pocket camera out of my...pocket. Only when chasing moving subjects do I grumble about not having an SLR.

I mentioned your posts and he has started looking for adapters.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
