BTTOS

As some of you will remember, i was after a cheap point and click, mainly to use around work for ebay. anyway, i ended up buying a sony A200K

not a point and click, but it was cheap and has a few good reviews in the mags and such.

Only thing is, the lense is dogturd.

a few weeks back i got my self a cannon EOS 5D and have collected a couple of good lenses, and a couple of not so good ones.

is there a converter available so i can use my EF mount lenses on my sony A mount camera?

i've googled lots, cant seam to find anything

Does a Canon-Minolta adapter not cover it?

No, as all of the cannon - minolta mount rings seam to be to minolta MD mount.

I'm unsure on the adapter fella, best place you could ask is over on TalkPhotography, you'll get an answer either way on there.

On a side note, Canon 5D = Nice.

Nice one Dan. I'm guessing Mk1?

I looked at the 5D but alas it's too slow for moving motorsport for my liking. Mint camera though for everything else.

Welcome to a world of expense.

No, it's a mk2 Sy, i've had it a while now, got it to replace my Nikon D90 which my dad borrowed and i havent seen sinse....

Had SLR cameras for years Sy, even used to develop my own pictures many many years ago, digital killed that off tho. so i r used to expence

I retract my previous post, and edit it with - Canon 5D Mk2 = Awesome.

Yeh, with my shit kodak point and click, theres a few off here that know i've been into cameras for a while, but as i've told them, my photography is quite a personal thing, not really into "showing off my pictures" and anyway, i find taking pictures of cars very boring and un interesting, so the pics i take wouldn't really be relervent on a car based forum.

I started off with cameras in 1979 when my dad gave me my first kodak 110, used that till about 83 or 84 when my dad got me a leica M6 and showed me how to develop my own pictures, carried on with that for a few years, then ended up with a pentax slr, lost interest in doing my own prints, then got into dslr....

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but i still beleive that any good picture is 90% photographer and only 10% camera.

obviously that doesnt apply to technical pictures, like the ones V posted the other week, but IMHO, anyone can take a picture like that with the right equipment, only a real photographer can write a noval with a single picture.

TBH this section is as far away from the rest of the forum as can be, so I'd say relevance isn't a factor. But everyone is different when it comes to showing their work, I like to show some of mine and a lot I do nothing with as I've only taken it for myself or it's shit lol.
