p.4 #1Sony/Minolta A Mount Picture Thread
No extension tubes or teleconverters. It's just the 12MP GH1 and the lens. But since most FF cameras are like twenty-some megapixels and most of the above images are cropped one should be able to get about the same ultimate monitor image or larger. I modified my post (above) to include the mag ratios. The lens does 1:1 so that's essentially like mashing the bug directly onto your sensor. Well, to get an idea of the magnification anyway. I hope no one tries to actually mash a poor little bug into their sensor.

Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 on A850. OMG its a big unweidly lens. Kind of wish I got a 200mm prime instead.

You do have a point. Well, that's supposed to be a woman's face carved into smokey quartz semi precious stone. But yeah, that could be Magneto or even Alexander the Great

I haven't seen Sony 85/2.8 samples here. I wonder why.
Can anyone contribute please?
Is there a comparison with C/Y 85/2.8 sonnar somewhere?

To addon to that question, does anyone know if the Sony 85mm F2.8 has a floating element for close focus?

They are exactly the same design but the Sony is a light plastic lens probably with some plastic elements as well.

I don't believe so, it's pretty much a straight copy of the Contax design in terms of layout so I'd consider it very unlikely.

I don't think anyone here has one yet. Most of the local A mount shooters are shooting with somewhat higher-end kit.
I'm planning on getting one, as I don't need the extra speed and like the small size and excellent MFD but it's about #3 on my list right now and I need to sell off my OM kit first anyways.
