Hi! Been thinking of getting the A580 or A550 too due to its high ISO capabilities, but won't be until I have the budget... hehehe... Anyways, the shot above was taken in RAW. Post-processed with the following changes: Exposure increased to 0.25, a tint of fill light, structure to 100, a bit of contrast change, and cropped to frame as desired. By the way, shot was taken with a true macro lens - gives a lot of leeway for cropping compared to those non-true macro lens...

Awesome job!! Love it...yea I dont think I have a "true" macro lens, I mainly use my Minolta 75-300mm lens for macro shots but since I dont have a tripod anymore I havent been doing a lot of macro stuff although sometime I try anyways

Not many right now...I just had to move so I had to sell most of em. All I use now is my Minolta 75-300 and my stock 18-55 kit lens that it came with...I also use a fisheye adapter on the 18-55mm though sometimes which makes it a lot more fun to use I am a big fan of the Minolta lenses though, they are cheap and awesome to play around with...cant go wrong!

Minolta lenses have awesome colors too!

Move? To a different system?

No...moved states and I needed money fast to help fund it but yea I love how saturated the colours are with all of the Minolta lenses I have used....they are just great all around lenses....fast, sharp, vivid and most importantly cheap! Haha Perfect for me...at least until I can afford some Zeiss glass one day...
