Hello and Welcome.
If you did not already know my name is John .
I have been doing Photography on and off for more than 25 years(more off than on). None of this has ever been more than an avid hobby that gets me off my butt and doing what I like.
For practically all of those years I have have been using Minolta/Sony gear. Currently I still have a Minolta SRT Super with the Rokkor 58mm F1.2 on it for film. This was purchased while we lived in Okinawa back in the seventies and is still working flawlessly. On the digital side I have progressed from the Minolta 5D to the Sony Alpha100. Shortly there after it was on to the A350 and then finally the A700.
