{010} I put a bit of effort in today. Ingredients: 55-200mm f/4-5.6 kit lens Rokunar 2x A350 tripod Got the idea while trying to talk Chris out of buying a very pricey f/2.8 200mm.  This is not justification to buy a 200mm.  The lens was zoomed in all the way. Also, I think this is only the second time I’ve used the 55-200 since I bought the A350 what, 3 years ago? Also, also, I tried to do this on the NEX[1] but it wouldn’t let me fire the shutter. Kept telling me it couldn’t detect the lens. Pfft. I think it was the Rokunar that made it have a sad. If anyone knows how to make the NEX not care and just let me fire the shutter no matter what’s attached to the front, I’d love to hear from you. [1] Ridiculous: 55-200 connected to the 2x, connected to the A to E-mount converter[2]. [2] I’ve seen worse. Ray hooked his 300mm up to the NEX for giggles.
