Lens sizes for nex 7 system.

I apologise if this has been asked before,but as the sensor of the nex range is the c size same as the alpha system, how can the lenses

I concur that Gary's books are great. I have the A700 and the A580 versions both very informative. I prefer the written B&W version. Have recommended them to various people.

Re: A580: am I using focus check live view wrong?
