According to this bit of rumouring http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/20 ... rface.html Sony may have your CMOS sensor in the pipeline

I hope to be getting a a900 in the near future (with a bit of luck and a following wind) and in preparation have been trying for some suitable FF lenses on eBay.

You should see current eBay prices. There are lenses like old 28-85mms priced up at $400+. David 28-85's are cheap on US Ebay... -Sonolta Unfortunately many US sellers won't ship beyond their borders (the three you quote don't) and even if they can be persuaded the cost of shipping and VAT make it ...

... and very nice indeed! Can't see the ball though

Found the same .. . on the a700 it's almost like full frame.

... the new 16-300mm f1.4 FF you mean? :D No, better, the 10-1000mm f/2.8 G SSM, with incorporated In-lens Steady shot which gets activated from 600mm to 1000mm while deactivating the in body SSS. :lol: :lol: Ah yes, I was initially interested in that one ... but could find parking for the crane to...

Well whether or not they guy really knows what he's talking about (and I have a feeling that some of it is a distillation of comments from another forum) it's quite interesting looking from another angle. My own guess is that Sony will concentrate more on getting some lenses on the market. It is, af...
