- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I have a Sony DSLR- A500/ A550. The lens I use the most is a Sigma 28-80mm, with Macro at 80mm. I hooked up the Minolta teleconverter lens (Phoenix C/D7 DG 2x) to the other Sigma lens and it takes good photos until I try to zoom up to something, like a bird in tree branches or flowers across the street and then it refuses to focus and I can hear it trying to like crazy but it makes me wonder what good is a lens that allows you to zoom twice the distance but won't let you take the photo? What can I do to actually get the object in focus and to take the picture? How should I adjust my settings? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
