<p>Thanks Richard , I will and post some pictures soon , appreciate all comments and suggestions, Happy Hoildays everyone. Chill !!!</p>

<p>I agree he is a good buddy , gifts were given on My birthday btw :) thks</p>

<p>I agree with David that its not a problem for the breed, since I owned A-350 for six months before upgrading to A- 700, as suggested by others the resetting and updation of the firmware if relevant should do the trick. Hopefully as pointed by you earlier ,it seems the re-setting has solved the problem.</p>

<p>Thks Allan Peed , the condition is near mint and very clean glass and barrel , stored in a pouch, 135mm 2,8 is fixed lens I notice its double crossed X kinda rare,while other is tele zoom as you rightly pointed out. I appreciate your input ,yes they are compatible with A-700 mount wise, no issues there. will chk the manual as suggested.</p>

<p>I just got these lenses from a friend who gifted them as he is not into photography and they belonged to his dad, he donated the camera to a school which was Maxxum 7D and gifted these 2 lenses to Me knowing my interest in the same. would like any inputs /suggestions on the same for use on A-700. My sincere thanks to all responses in advance. thanks</p>

<p>Out here in Toronto , Henry's , Blacks Photography and some small stores carry sony stuff, apart from sony style stores. Henry's do carry most of the models and high end lenses carl zeiss and 300 f2.8 stuff, I bought some stuff from Henry's and Sony Style store, Henry's do have online ebay store which sells used Sony gear traded in for upgrade or people who have switched to either cannon or nikon. Sony Style do accept pre orders for lenses and A-900.</p>

<p>another one</p>

<p>Good pictures everyone , wayne , paul, dustin , richard , I took a few pictures this weekend trying My newly upgraded a-700. all comments welcome negative or postive thks , a lot to learn from the new equip.</p><div></div>

<p>thanks all, good to know bill its one of the reasons i switched over to 700 for wider iso range and low light pictures, along with some other features which arenot there in a350 which is a good camera in its class/category no doubting that , with a price fall of a 700 and more depreciation of a 350 with a 380 introduced found the offer appealing and worth imho of 2 cents. hoping to learn and expand my knowledge with this new equipment ;-) appreciate all inputs so far</p>

<p>hi everyone , I just got a offer from My local store upgraded a 350 bought in dec-2008 to a 700 for 600$ new with 2 years warranty, hoping to learn more nuances with my new equipment. just wanted to share this with all, any tips and guidance would be appreciated. thanks everyone</p>

<p>I do wish to clarify that My body is A350 ,so dont know if Nikon Mounts will be comaptible , the older version of SP is boxed and spotless minty condition thanks , My heart is still on the classic though as with the tube and tele convertor sp 1.4 the min focus distance is 0.37m thats good I think :)</p>

<p>My local store has used Tamron 90 2.8 for 280 US$ and SP 90.2.5 with extension tube for !:! macro adaptall 2 for 225 US$, hard to choose , go for old classic or newer one ? any one help /guide in this matter , thanks</p>
