I am an amateur photographer, who uses Sony Alpha cameras. I started using a Sony A57 to match the same camera I bought my daughter. We were impressed by the electronic viewfinder, but what sold me was the ability to use Minolta A Mount lens.

 

When I started my photography adventure in the 1970s, my first camera was a Minolta SRT 101, which lead in a few years later to get the really cool Minolta XE-7. While it wasn't a Nikon or Cannon, I enjoyed the feel and liked the lenses at the time. Using the Minolta cameras helped to develop some photography skills and interest.

 

When my youngest daughter expressed interest in learning how to take pictures with a DSLR and we learned from a sales rep that the Sony could use Minolta lens, it seemed like a good fix. So I picked up a Sony A57 and quickly moved to a Sony A65 to get geotagging, then graduated to a Sony A77II. Along the way I started transitioning to a mirrorless camera for its lightness, because I like to hike to remote areas and weight matters. So you will notice some of my work is with a Sony A6300. Then I have moved up to the Sony A7RIII and recently to the Sony A7RV.

 

NOTE: This is a self-image of me setting and enjoying the sunset on the Pacific.

 

This may help to explain why I refer to myself as "A Sony Photographer". I enjoy their gear and hope others will try it out and like it as well. I am an amateur, so please feel free to help me get better with my hobby.

I have always enjoyed stopping by this stream, from the beginning in 2016...it was obvious even back then he had a passion and a great eye. Adding Sony camera's makes for stunning images, but the real talent is the man behind the lens. I live in the east, he in the west, so I really enjoy his perspectives, locations and compositions. Be sure to visit his superlative website! You too inspire me! Thank you for sharing your talents.

Freue mich Euch kennen zu lernen. Auch ich hab Gefallen am fotografieren gefunden - als Hobbyfotograf. Anfänge waren eine kleine Kodak der Z - Serie, dann eine Bridge - Kamera von Fuji und jetzt seit Jahren die Sony SLT Alpha 58 als Stammkamera. Hab mich so daran gewöhnt, dass ich derzeit keine andere Kamera haben möchte. Mit der Zeit hab ich mir einige neue ( alte ) Objektive zugelegt. Ich finde es interessant mit alten adaptierten M 42 Objektiven zu arbeiten - Sie entschleunigen und fordern mich. ….. und die Ergebnisse ??? Ich hoffe … Sie sind gelungen ! LG Matthias
