Re: Fungus
The likelihood of fungus getting into glue between the doublets would probably be fairly rare. When zoomed or focused most lenses will suck air in and out and spores can be sucked in and land on elements and if the environment is humid, spores can grow. In a dry climates, spores may do nothing but s...

Re: End of the road for the 580?
Anyway, whenever a new tax is added, no matter how small it starts out, it will get bigger over time. Isn't that one of the physical laws of the universe? :lol: Here in Japan 20 years ago there was no sales tax. Then they created one that was 3%. A few years later it went to 5%, which is where it s...

Re: a77 image quality advice, how do I get the best from it?
Arthritis, a knackered back in two places, chronic Asthma and Sciatica in the lower and upper back means no one else will employ me either, photography is what stops me going bonkers to be frank :!: This is a bit off topic, but I can't bear to read a fellow human suffering when I've had the same is...

Re: A77 Ver 1.04
The yellow cast I was getting is gone now. The colors are more neutral now. No one else has noted this so I'm offering this... Drat, Dennis! Now I can't go back and check and see if that's what happened. You're in the wrong line of work. You should be a detective. I have seen a couple of other acco...

Re: EVF of a77, 3 dimensional?
As one who had only 1 eye for 3 years, I can most definitely tell you that having to have 2 eyes to see either perspective or '3D' is bunk. However, 3D movies were always horrible, since they are really stereoscopic movies, and you DO need 2 eyes for that! Two eyes ARE better, for sure, but I was s...

Re: Extra-Fine vs. Fine JPEGs
I mostly use raw files but do occasionally use a good jpg from my A55, even the A350 on occasion. My gut tells me that a fine jpg from the A55 or A65 would at least equal, and maybe be better than an extra fine from the A700, but it's something I would like to hear an answer to also. I've never been...

Re: TOP on a77
Do what Canikon do but better..that is all you really need to do well here. So - your attitude is that everyone should still be making only view cameras with glass plates?

Re: Sony quality control problems
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
I guess it's enough that they didn't want to except any more pre-orders.

Re: Sony quality control problems
It seems that the A77 and A65 pre-order pages have disappeared from Amazon. My account order page says that they are experiencing a delay.
Suppose this could be related?

Re: Pop Photo really likes A77
A55 camera of the year..yet in actual use it's far from it.. That statement seems to fail the logic test. I want the gritty hard nosed objective take. I see, and everyone else wants smoke up his @$$? The implication appears to be that a gritty hardnosed objective take and positive findings must be ...

Re: Pop Photo really likes A77
I know I tend to be overly negative :shock: ...a master of understatement. But pop photo seem to be the exact reverse they are utterly besotted with Sony SLT products and don't really want to be critical in any respect. I'd try to wait for a few more reviews from sources that don't sound like a Son...
