Plus, not all garage doors are North-facing (the source for softer, non-direct daylight for the Northern hemisphere). There are so many variables not within your control when shooting newborns, why leave one of the most important ones to chance as well? :-)Gary L.

Why not use a garage, put the baby in middle, open up the door and you instantly have a large, diffuse light source? Add a lamp or two on either side to add more light from other directions. Am I missing something?Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913915168052873347.post-65202492132457932832016-03-30T15:40:24.134-07:002016-03-30T15:40:24.134-07:00Any A-mount lens that doesn't have the screwdr...Any A-mount lens that doesn't have the screwdriver focus drive should work with that adapter; however some features such as Eye AF might not.

The camea did auto focus as I panned and turned the zoom ring. Hadn't ried this before. I usually zoom to what I want, make sure in focus & then take the shot.Jeffhttp://www.jeffkraengel.comnoreply@blogger.com
