Dear David,
In collaboration with Sony Switzerland I just published a beautiful 200p large-size book about the a900 and all the good old alpha lenses (Minolta, Sony, Zeiss). I’d like to send you a copy. You’ll find a few pdfs here:

Greetings & all the best from southern Switzerland

Hello David
I hope you don’t mind me asking you a Alamy related question via this website.
I have read various posts of yours on the Alamy forums and think you seem to know what you are talking about, I have also read that you are a Mac & Aperture user.
So I was wandering if you could tell me what is your workflow using Aperture to submit to Alamy.
Regards
Richard Turner
David: I saw your YouTube video about NEX-3 adapters. I have a bunch of old Nikon AI lenses. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks so much.
Alan
I don’t use Aperture, I use ACR/Bridge. That’s mainly because I use the lens profiles and camera colour profiles in ACR/Lightroom. I do not like raw processors which try to catalogue or organise your files in libraries etc. For that, I use Expression Media 2 and it is the master catalogue for all my finished images. I do have Aperture installed it’s just too slow and non-intuitive for individual file processing. I do not shoot it batches and therefore find all batch-type processors (including LR, DxO, C1) less than efficient. Every picture is individually processed.
Kipon make affordable adaptors. I have their tilt adaptor, they make one for Nikon fit. It’s rather fun to use. Anything much cheaper (generic Chinese) can be very variable; anything more expensive (Sony Approved Voigtlander, LensBaby) can be a silly price relative to the cost of the NEX itself.
