Using a lense from my older Minolta. Sigma 105mm Macro. I do love the Sony but am not crazy about the RAW format it uses. Maybe it's because I am so used to my Nikon.

They seem o.k. with me. There isn't much DOF in either of them but I do not know if this is how you intended them to be. But the color is great!

I agree with the DOF. Thanks for pointing that out. Still learning the settings on this one.

Hey! Once you figure that thing out, you are going to have a blast! Believe me.

Mr. Sony

Oh, I forgot to tell you, cool Dragonfly pic!

Can you be specific about what you do not like with the Sony RAW format? I am curious to understand. Thank you.

The ARW files will not open in Elements to view. I have no problem with my NEF files from my Nikon. I have to use Sony's 'Play Memories Home' to view them. Unless I may be missing something. Please help if you can help me out with this. Thanks, Dean.

I do not have problems opening ARW raw files with Elements 9. They open in Adode Camera RAW. I am not sure that all versions of Elements has ACR access. Others may know that answer.

Thanks, If they open in 9 they should open in 10. I will try to find out what is up with that. Thanks again.
