I can�t get any parts at the moment as KM Germany (who still do the repairs here) had to give all their parts to Sony then order them back. But all the parts are now in Belgium.

some older sigma lenses my need re chipping.

try the same question at

should get some good answers

My longest shot is 30 seconds so I can't comment on the over 3 mins but in the hand book they recommends that all shots over 1 second should use noise reduction. Wonder what firmware they used in the tests.

the MK II was my first "SLR" and the reason I've stuck with Minolta over the years. Don't know what happened to it or where it is :(

In less than two weeks at Hockenheim F1 track is the Jim Clark

revival. I�m well hyped and will spend the wholes weekend shooting.

I have a Dynax 7 and 7D plus several lenses ranging from 19 to

500mm. Any one here have a lot of experience in the field of motor

sport that could leave a few tips. Thanks

In just under 2 week is the Annual Jim Clark revival. I�m looking

forward to it and have a little experience photographing motor

sport. But any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

I attempted panning last year at a few events with some success.

Every time i buy a new lens I say thats it I don't need any more.

Looks like Colani's ergonomic camera after a little photoshop.

I have the Sigma 170-500mm and find the AF to slow for a birding lens. Look for a 400, 500 or 600mm prime (but it wont be cheap)

There are 2 old DSLRS from Minolta RD175 and RD3000

The 175 used normal Minolta AF lenses and the 3000 used Minolta AFV lenses.

This might sound dumb but why dont you just get something like a horizon 202 or if you have more money a x-pan.

ooops looks like my camera could be a weapon of mass destruction. dumb typo

I have just tried to order some spear parts from a KM repair centre. And the tech told me that he will try to send it out to me but as of this morning they have been having problems getting parts. They are not informed as to what is happening but the rumour is that Sony will take over repairs and that KM will provide them with parts for 7 years. Also that the handover isn�t going as well as planed and my need to be pushed back until 1/7/06. But this is all only rumour.

Its a bit confusing when you say pan in reference to Panorama. As panning (pans) are when you follow a moving object with the camera. I have a panorama head for my tripods but hardly ever use it as I can take everything with me every time I go out. I find a sprit level on the tripod good enough and then tidy it all up the over hang by cropping in Photoshop.

also try

 

www.dynaxdigital.com

 

there is plenty of info on lenses/flashes etc

The biggest problem with stitching images is when a shot in the middle has a different EV to the rest of the panorama. Try taking a meter reading then setting your manually so all shots are all with the same EV.

They don�t make film for my first camera any more (which was destroyed in a house fire in the late 70�s early 80�s). It was a Donald Duck camera you used his tong as a shutter release.<div></div>

I only had it with an old sigma lens. Shake it abit and it worked.

I read somewhere that a lot of Zeiss lenses are made by Tamron and Sony have their finger in the Tamron pie. But this topic has come up here so often in the last few months.

this is the guy to talk to about this problem

Michael is correct you will only get what you pay. There are several OK third party lenses that wont break the bank, the main problem is some of them are getting hard to find try looking at the Tamron 200-500mm (new around 800 euro) or a second hand Sigma 170-500mm (3-400 euro second hand, slow auto focus) they my do the job you want.
