Hi All, I recently acquired the SIGMA 15-30mm EX lens, and would like know if any of you Dynax 7 owners have had anything to share about your own combination of Dynax 7 body and this 15-30mm lens, such as sharpness, distortions, and such like? I understand there is some fair amount of...

Hi People, I am very keen in the SIGMA 12-24mm lens but am also taking seconds glances at the 15-30mm model for Minolta. Can anyone tell me where I can get to buy these two lenses at reasonable prices? I heard a lot about the 12-24mm being NEW and not in Singapore yet, but someone in this...

..err.. if you dare, pu the lens in the freezer for about 45 minutes - then try gently and slowly unfastening it with a piece of cloth between your fingers and the filter ring. Do this with th lens and your hands in the freezer compartment. The theory is that metal contracts in low temps...

Hi All & Greetings to Seniors, I recently bought a batch of AGFA color print films, rated at 200, and went shooting both outdoors in late afternoon lights, night shoots ( long exposures ), and indoors using a dedicated flash gun. My systen is a Dynax 7 and the flash is the 5600SH. Lenses are...

Hi All & Greetings to Seniors, If I have bought a S$9.50 slide and plum forgot to store it in my mini film fridge, - I'd rather throw it away then risk any disappointment however slight it may be. In Singapore's climate - everything rots in this hot & humid atmosphere - including...

Hi All, & Greetings to Seniors, Next addition and line up of camera bodies ( all Minoltas ), would pleasurably be the grand daddy - Dynax 9. Man, this baby is heavy metal ! Even just looking at it, pleases me. Here I come Dynax 9..... Regards, CJ

..well, I've got eye-bags apart from one Lowe shoulder bag, and a Lowe Nature Trekker. Regards, CJ

Well All, & Greetings to Seniors, I think, the best camera, is the one your hands feel comfortable & intuitive with, and which fits your budget, and which also - your soul can work together with in harmony. And ultimately, one which always yield the results you tweaked the camera for each...

Hi Ian, Thanks for the advise and feedback on Dynax 7's operating temperature ranges. I queried its claimed temperature tolerances because lately, you know we've all been sweating buckets over a dry and hot spelll here in SG. So, I wodered would it perform under the current brutal sun...

Yes Ralph, This lens is good as affirmed by you and many others. I got the pics back from the lab - and they're all simply beautiful. Crystal sharp, looked like photos taken with something far costlier then S$350.00 - I am indeed pleased with this purchase. However, my other SIGMA...
