intend to buy second-hand minolta 70-200mm for sony A58

I plan to buy opportunity Minolta 70-200mm lens for my Sony A58.how can I buy it... What are all the factors consider to buy a lens... what purchases online (IE amazon.com) are suitable for me... pls tell what are the procedure to buy...

Probably the best source for used lenses in the United States is KEH. They specialize in used gear and thus have a better choice than conventional retailers who sell used gear as an offshoot of their main activity. Amazon and eBay are also good choices, but you must be more careful with them.

Purchase of a used lens is not as full of dangers, as many people believe, but there are some things you should pay attention to.

  1. Clean the lens, if it isn't already and look closely at the optics at both ends. There should not be any misalignment of the indicidual (indication of damage) lenses, and should not be cracked or engraving on any of the lenses (indication of damage of mushroom).
  2. The aperture blades should all be present, anf, they must be clean and dull. If one of the blades is brilliant, the lubricant turned to sticky goo (an indication that the lens has been exposed to high temperatures) which will slow down or even adversely affect their operation.
  3. Make sure that the zoom and setting rings to the point (and ring opening, if she a) work smoothly through their full range.
  4. Check that the lens perfectly fits your camera.
  5. Check that the lens autofocuses quickly, quietly (but not necessarily in silent mode) and invariably, when alternating between close and distant subjects.
  6. Take a few pictures with very large openings (numerically small numbers) and some with very small apertures (numerically large numbers) and make sure that they are all properly exposed. (If photos taken with very small openings are brighter than they should be, the aperture blades could be sticky, as I mentioned in #2.)

If you see something that doesn't look good, it box, send it and make sure you get a refund.

A great resource when looking for used lenses is Dyxum.com.

One thing you must remember, when looking at the Minolta lenses used, is that digital image sensors are brilliant, much more that of 35mm film, which can cause the light to reflect back light to the lens. Objectives for the film cameras don't have the coatings on the rear lens elements that prevent the light to reflect to the probe, as objectives for digital cameras. This can produce ghosts and flare with compositions that are very bright images.

Good luck. There are countless lenses that perform well on the body of Sony A-Mount and can be made for a fraction of what the new lenses sell for, and there are countless lenses that are not yet available of the current offerings of Sony.

  • Hello I buy an i phone 4 second hand and I do not have his id what to do

    I buy an iPhone 4 in second hand and I did not have his id to. It's an iPhone 4 and it's IMEI: *.
    and ICCID: 89230030614032442294

    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do if you do not know the previous owners of Apple ID, because the phone is locked iCloud, you can't ignore. If you can not return the unit to the person/place you bought out of second hand you are out of luck, unfortunately. Hope that answers your question. I would recommend also to edit your post and remove your ICCID, IMEI/as it is unnecessary information and not a good idea to spread publicly online.

    Hello, I have a new version of Windows XP I have installed on my desk for 8 years. However, I want to buy a laptop computer in the future, and I have a question: How can I sell my copy of Real Win XP Professional, second hand? After selling it, I want to buy Windows 7 for a new laptop. How can I legally sale Win XP ?

    You have installed?  Which means that you went down and bought Windows XP all by himself in a retail establishment and it is a retail license, not a cheaper OEM license?

    I asked a tech savvy friends to help me buy. He brought me a real CD, a product with COA and a manual Win XP key (they came sealed) and reception. It cost me about $160 (actually 7800 Indian rupees). I still have the COA product key, hologrammed CD sticker.

    The CoA sticker wasn't on the hard plastic case?  Sounds like an OEM version - which once installed is "linked" to this computer/motherboard.

  • PC with Windows Vista Business OEMAct COA of second hand

    Hello

    I just bought a PC that has a Microsoft COA license sticker attached to it for "Windows Vista Business OEMAct" of second hand. It came without a HARD drive, so I installed my own and want to make sure that the key on the PC is still valid? If I can get my hands on a Vista disk, probably, I can install windows with this key and everything will be fine?
    The question I have, is that I can then upgrade to Windows 8 for the $39,99 deal? I don't see why not?

    Hello

    You must use the key to see if it is still valid. There is no public list kept.

    Hadou no reason why it would not be valid as long as you can not transfer OEM licenses which they were installed on the original machine.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Where can I safely download a USER manual for the second hand Compaq nc 4400 I just bought?

    Can someone tell me where I can download a MANUAL for my Compaq nc4400 I just bought second hand safely. (Used)

    I'm afraid to use a non-secure site!  Also can someone tell me what times of loading, I would expect to see on the screen to a fully charged battery? This one is only show 30 minutes! Guess it must be replaced on the right? ;-) Please advise me on the best type of battery for my model. Thanks, Bart.

    Hi Bart1,

    You can download the manuals of the secure HP web support portal for your laptop in the manuals section.

    Since you bought it second hand and it provides only 30 minutes and then it's a good idea to replace the battery with a new standard or higher capacity. There is no need to buy an OEM HP part. Try to find one that has more than the standard 4400mah.

  • Second hand windows from amazon/eBay.

    Original title: the SECOND HAND OF AMAZON/e-BAY WINDOWS.

    I'm buying a copy used Windows Vista DVD on Amazon or eBay. Can I install and activate as new copies of Windows that I myself bought, without any problem?

    Isn't that mean a form of license transfer?

    Only a licensed version of Windows Vista retail could be "transferred" to another owner.  Some of the eBay sales are not legitimate sales - people just out to make money for those who know less, these things, what they don't.  The software and the license they sell may even work for several years - until the "system".  At this point, you have a basis weight of the paper for a computer.

    Then... You just want to get Windows Vista media or do you need a license and media?
