The honeymoon came around which I had bought this camera for and I started snapping away the usual holiday photographs, then I decided to try and put some of the general rules into practise that I had gradually learnt about such as the rule of threes. We were on the island of Athuruga in the Maldives which was a beautiful place so needless to say the results were some very pleasing photographs - the majority taken hand held and still using the auto focus.

Whilst on our honeymoon it was my birthday and my amazing wife bought me a camera related gift in the form of the Sony EA1 Lens mount adaptor which allows you to fit any A-mount DSLR lens to the E-mount NEX cameras. Of course I didn't own any A-mount lenses so she also bought me a Sony SAL-55200-2 A-mount telephoto zoom lens (DT 55-200mm F4-5.6 SAM lens)

The autofocus on this lens still works with the adaptor but it is slow and it was at this point I started to use manual focus on my shots which I was quite pleased with as it pushed me into something I was otherwise avoiding out of laziness. I will write more about my findings with this lens later but suffice to say it is a great and very capable lens with great results.
