Re: Sony A58 "plastic lens mount"

Re: Sony A58 "plastic lens mount"
Why did you choose a plastic mount? We have been using plastic mounts to downsize and lessen weight since the α57. That's not true. They have been using plastic mounts since a55/33. Here I'd guess the rest of their 'answers' are of the same informative quality, a.k.a. plain garbage. Maybe is mistak...

Re: Sony A58 "plastic lens mount"
Some Q/A about the plastic mount: Is the camera inferior in terms of performance and durability in comparison to the metallic mount? We have verified that there are no issues in general use.

Any hints about Sigma 20/1.8 DIY Re-chipping ?
Hello, I bought one of these little beauties :D Sigma 20 F1.8 EX Aspherical DG DF RF But unfortunately the serial number begins with 1xxxxxx and it's not recognizable by A900 and KM 7D :( , So there is no AF, and I can't control the Aperture that is even worser. However on the old Minolta 7000 all w...

Re: α560/α580 are coming
I think that a580 makes the a560 pointless. The 16mp looks superior.
