Re: Sony HVL-58am Amazon and Grey Imports

Thank you for your reply David. Yes I meant Amazon and not Sony. I posted a similar thread on DP Review and only 4 people or so have read it and none have responded. I will write to local Trading Standards asking them to clarify what other action I can take. I have left a Review for the seller on th...

Sony HVL-58am Amazon and Grey Imports

I do not know whether double posting across forums is frowned upon but I feel strongly enough to post this across relevant forums as a warning to potential purchasers and to ask for some feedback whether my position is reasonable and my requests of Amazon legitimate. Thank you for bearing with me : ...

Re: Rumours, rumours, rumours are they valid??

Thanks for all the comments. I guess what prompted my original question was wondering whether the site was a potentially exploitative direct response to some of the negativity and confusion around the current Sony body and lenses. Acolyte's view that it is a 'personal' website doesnt really hold wit...

Rumours, rumours, rumours are they valid??

Just been reading sonyalpharumours.com again. Doesn't make much sense to me. Seems like mirrors, smoke and shadows. Does anyone give this stuff credence? Who are these secretive contacts who are often contradictory and apparently change their stories from day to day? Are they clairvoyants? Do they r...

Re: Sony 20mm lens discontinuing

I guess the pain's just on my side of the fence :( I see from your images that you have some image sets with religious themes. A recent project I undertook was documenting a pilgrimage in southern spain, from Seville to el Rocio. Some of the images are here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/31070392@N0...

Re: Sony 20mm lens discontinuing

Thanks for the welcome When I switched from Nikon I certainly wasn't anticipating how frustrating it would be just collecting 4 or 5 sensibly priced and readily available primes. My overall favourite lens is a 35 mm which I still retain in Nikon together with a 20mm. Both of these lenses are readily...

Sony 20mm lens discontinuing

Hi All I have recently joined this forum having bought a A900 last year. I have been trying to build up a collection of primes and heard that the Sony 20mm lens was on offer for £150 in Jessops over the new year. I was too late - there were only 2 lenses left unsold throughout their whole chain and ...
