Reviewing lenses can be
very expensive. Many times I buy on eBay, and sell when I'm done with the lens, or no longer want it. Sometimes
I buy a lens brand new, review it, then end up not using it much, and sell it, that usually winds up costing me a lot of money.
A good way to help defray my costs, and help out the Sony/Minolta community is to donate to my site. There are several different
options to making a donation. The easiest way is to send a small (or large) donation through the PayPal/Credit card
link below, which allows me to keep reviewing lenses and other related merchandise, and to test and compare products and see
how they perform, and whether or not they're worth the money (in my opinion). Another option is to send a donation equal to the
amount of renting a lens for a week or ten days. That review would be "sponsored" by you, thus helping the
community. You can also buy your camera goodies, (or other stuff) through the B&H Photo link above. When
you buy using my link, I get a small amount of the purchase price. A final way to donate is to send me your lens and allow me to review it. It works
like this; you simple contact me to see if I'm available to review a lens at a particular time, (this is a side-line business,
so I have to work around my job). I'll usually require two weeks for a complete review and possible comparison.
I'll also make sure your lens is listed below, or it is one I'd be interested in reviewing. Next, you send it to my
address with insurance etc. I'll contact you when I get it, and let you know if everything is ok. When I'm done
with the review, I'll send it back the same way you sent it to me, same box, same company, with insurance etc. I pay
return shipping.
Below is a list of the lenses I'd be interested in reviewing. I also might be interested in reviewing
a manual focus lens only if it has been converted to the Alpha/Minolta AF mount. Contact me if you have any of the lenses below, or anything else you think I might be interested in reviewing.
