Sony Alpha A900 Review

Image
The Sony DSLR-A900's body is constructed from five main magnesium alloy sections, and includes sealing to reduce ingress of moisture between the body panels, as well as at the various control dials and buttons. The Sony A900 has a Sony Alpha lens mount that also accepts Konica and Konica Minolta glass. A large pentaprism sits above the lens mount, both dictating the camera body's workmanlike visual aesthetic, and providing a very large and bright TTL optical viewfinder with 0.74x magnification. The rear panel features a large 3-inch LCD display with 921,600 dot resolution, equating to VGA (640 x 480) pixel with three R, G and B dots per pixel. This is used solely for reviewing of images, as well as for menus and status display; the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 doesn't offer live view capability. There's also a small top-panel status LCD which indicates remaining shots and battery life, as well as the basic exposure variables. Information (advanced mode) ...

Photography - Close Up Macro Lenses

Image
Close-up filters (also known as macro filters) are a filter that screws onto the end of your cameras lens. The main purpose of the close-up filter is to decrease the minimum distance required for the lens to focus. Take the telephoto lens for example. This lens would normally require you to be at least 1.5m from the subject being photographed before the subject will properly focus, but attaching a close-up filter to the lens will let you stand much closer to the subject. Filters can be used together (stacked) or used separately but always remember that if stacking your filters, that the strongest filter (+10 or the highest number filter) is closest to the lens. Close-up filters are measured i...
