Very nice. better get building up those arm muscles, unless you will be only using it on a tripod (assume you will be) smile.gif

Seeing the reference to lenses, Sony/Minolta users, am I right in thinking that Minolta lenses fit Sony bodies? Only asking, as I have a Minolta fit Sigma 70-200 F2.8 lens to lob on ebay sometime soon.

Yip Ed, they do. I've got an old 18 70mm lens I bought second hand in 1999 for use on a 7000 body. Works a treat on the 900 now wink.gif

One of the plus points of the Sony system smile.gif

I like the results from my old Minolta 50mm f1.7 smile.gif

I have one of those lenses too Ed. possibly a different version, but mine is definitely not the most recent version of the 70-200 f2.8. It's a lovely lens IMO and the main one I use for action stuff
