New DSLR

[chris holley]

I have a Sony Alpha 100, which i bought when they came out. I have never had a problem with them till know? Lenses? Shops in my area dont sell them but can get them but cost £££. Went into two shops to buy a 2x teleconverter for it, got one used it talking it back monday the pics are rubbish ok there closer done what i wanted but just not the same as a bigger lense

.

One guy said i should maybe look at a diffrent camera, Nikon or canon. The range off lenses are better an cheaper than the sony

Which one should i look at? whats is the diffrence if anypicked up a few mags today DIGITAL CAMERA BUYER and DIGITAL SLR PHOTOGRAPHY, have not read them yet.

Every Minolta AF lens produced in the last twenty-odd years fits your Sony. You are simply looking in the wrong places

What sort of lens are you looking for? There are hundreds.

The unavailability of Sony lenses doesn't hold true any more. Sony's range is ever expanding and they have most bases covered. Sigma/Tamron are also now producing all their lenses for the Sony mount.

Get yourself on ebay.

Literally hundreds of suitable lenses for absolute peanuts. As eddiewood says, almost any minolta fit one. On here Pirate is a good source for recommending good Sony lenses.
