Rick, I like those 50mm shots, I really do need to get that lens one of these days (it's the only Minolta 50 that I like)

Mawz,
Yes - I like the lens - not only good for macro - but makes a great "normal perspective" walk-around lens - very sharp at all distances! An under-rated Gem that most people ignor.The label says Sony on the lens - but I think it is a direct copy of the Minolta version. It is made in Japan - which is a "Good Thing"!

Like all the original Sony lenses except the 50/1.4 the 50 macro is just a cosmetically updated version of the Minolta lens, in this case the 50mm f2.8 D Macro. Both of the 50 Macro's (there's two designs, the original 50/3.5 and the newer 50/2.8) have a reputation as good all-round lenses and I personally really like how the D lenses render (I'm less fond of the older Minolta rendering, one reason why all my current A mount lenses are D or Sony lenses).

KM 7D - 24-50mm f4 @ f9.5
4 shots in 2 rows - handheld
Bit of old architecture on nicely sunny day in place where I live.
Resizing this stuff is real pain, its like "do you want it medium jagged, or crispy jagged or something that will resemble hacksaw?" And sharpening on top of that.. sigh.

I took my old A700 for a ride, with the Sony Zeiss 16-80. I hope you like them.

xbarcelo, it's a fine lens, lots of beautiful micro-contrast, these are very good, trademark Sony naturalistic colour. Thanks for posting.

I agree, xbarcelo, the 16-80 & a700 is a bit of a "classic combo" of sorts. You still get the Zeiss-Sony look, clean colours, but in quite a small package.
Here is another from the same day as my last post, but this time outside, with colour.
