Re: A850/900 vs a77

I have just experienced this. Some time ago I bought a Minolta 135mm F/2.8 in mint condition on Ebay and I was very impressed with the pictures I got on the a850. Then I bought an a77, but when I tried it with the 135mm the pictures turned out rather disappointing. I have not done any systematic com...

Re: OVF & EVF: What should Sony do?

I have the a100, a350 and a850. IMO the only OVF worth keeping are the ones in the FF cameras. The OVF in the a350 is small and dark and if I am to buy another APS camera it will definitely be with an EVF.

Re: Pace of change accelerating

I have been thinking along those lines myself. What would be the price of the NEX-5n with EVF compared to the NEX-7?

Re: Pace of change accelerating

It is nice to see that others feel more or less the same way that I do. I used to have two Minolta 9xi bodies back in the nineties, then I went digital and got the a100, upgraded to the a350 and then came the real upgrade: I bought an a850 on special offer. The Wife now uses the APS cameras and I ha...

Re: NEX-7

So far I have not been very interested in the NEX system, but with this camera it has come of age.

Tokina to make lenses for Sony Alpha?

Does anyone on the forum know anything about the rumours that Tokina is going to make lenses for the Alpha mount? I still have the AT-X pro 80-200mm F2.8 which I bought new back in the nineties and I would like to have a look at the AT-X 16-28mm F2.8 PRO FX for my a850. Any chances this will be made...
