I'm in the game, got myself a 50mm f1.7 MD Minolta lens for £20! Very excited to try it next! Thanks everyone!

@woof woof thanks so much, I will definitely have a look at each of those and add them to my list to consider! And MD it will be! Edit: After more research I think I might go for your suggestions of Olympus @woof woof as they are much smaller. Still looking, but thanks for the help!

After more reading, here are some cheap options I am considering: ============================ MINOLTA LENSES: ============================ ADAPTER: -------------------------------------- https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/ibn/Neewer-Lens-Adapter-Minolta-Camera-A6000-A6300/B01IDDXGL0/...

Very helpful @an1uk! Thank you! I am still learning about the adapters, don't really know the difference, but seems to be a subject on its own. Here I found a few lenses on eBay I am researching...

I think based on your suggestions guys, I might go with one of the old, wide-angle, manual lenses to try and the 28-70 one. It should give me a good kit to test the camera with. I've also found these two good articles on the subject, fyi...

Thanks, I just meant that I am looking at that lens and found the example on eBay. But good point!

Thanks @plamen_gb, I am currently looking at this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-FE-28-70mm-F-3-5-5-6-OSS-Lens-/142294748599 Which A mount lenses do you recommend?

Recently I found an offer for a Sony A7 body and got it. Previously I've used Nikon D90, so it's a huge upgrade for me, but now I'm looking for lenses. At the moment I don't have the budget to get into the Sony lenses as they are quite expensive, but from what I've read many other non Sony...

I really like the mood on your edit around the corners. It really brings everything back to the center, toward the log and the stream. Notes on how you did it? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, that helps!

Can you please let me know in more detail how you retouched the image? I want to learn. And i love the crop effect! Thanks for the comments!

Yesterday i went to the Peak District and tried some long exposure on running water. I took (or tried to) some of your advises on composition. As well i read few articles. Here's the result:

DayDream thank you! Pookeyhead - thank you for the comment. I won't delete the picture, since it reminds me of a moment, however i will take your point from a photographer's point of view and will ignore the image from it. I'm doing all this from the position of "i don't know", so it all...

Thanks a lot for the help, to you and everyone else. I am not ashamed of the photographs i make and post, since the main purpose is to learn and your comment helps me to do exactly that. I would like to read more on composition. Do you have any "good" resources, from your experience, on that...

Thanks for the comments all. Here i have another image, of night photography, long exposure. It hasn't been edited at all. What would you do to it and why? How would you improve it? Thanks.
