		<description>I own a Konica Minolta 7D and have recently bought a new A900
I typically photograph, planes, flowers (macro), and some scenery/buidlings...

My questions

Is the SAL-135F18 a good lense for my A900?  Or is it APC-C optimized?
My other choice is a SAL-100M28.

After spending $$$ on the A900 I have to start a little slower on the lenses until I can save
up more money.

I currently have a 70-300 F4.5-5.6 Sigma which I bought years ago for my 35mm Minolta
Also a 35-105 Minolta AF and a Maxxum 80-200.  (all from my 35mm days).

The A900 is way beyond these lenses So I want to acquire lenses that aren&#039;t in the same
range but have better capabilites (sharp, light, ...)

Two areas MACRO - hence the SAL-100
and Plane/Sport/Bird photography (something above 300mm?)

Suggestions please?

At this point I will prioritize by price but would appreciate lense suggestions
specific to my A900.

Thanks in Advance
