Hi all,

The pictures on http://www.alphaphotoclub.com/bbs/zboar ... asc&no=131

are stunning and a strong argument in favor of the A900 and the CZ lenses if you are mainly in landscape and architectural photography. However I would like to know exactly what I am looking at and I cannot get at the exifs of the photos. Any solutions?

Cheers, Bob

If you look at the first post just under those magnificent shots you'll find the EXIF data of the first 2 pictures. The rest are not mentioned yet.

Yes I noted that, but I'd like to see the exifs of each picture. Are they downloadable somehow?

Cheers, Bob.

Is there a new Sony coming out

I think the pre production A900 was called the A000 in the exif

There is something I do not understand here. If I recollect correctly, David was asked to remove the only picture he took with a pre-production model 16-35 CZ lens from the web because it was giving bad publicity, the quality not being too good. Now on this site we see several pictures supposedly of a A900 with 16-35 CZ which look fine to me (taking into account that you cannot download them and have a proper look at them). This puzzles me. If this too is a pre-production model then surely Sony has some say over those pictures too. Why do they leave them on that site and why if they are genuine and good do they not use them in their own advertising. If it is not a pre-production model then are we to assume that the lens is already on the market somewhere?

I would imagine any site that doesn't care about getting support from the manufacturers, in terms of information or review products won't really care very much what a manufacturer has to say about thier content if they don't have an agreement like an NDA. Sony is really powerless unless the site posted something libelous

Yes, I see what you mean. But basically, my main concern is: are these photos "genuine" or have they been tampered with, and for that I would like to see the exifs. If they basically came out of the camera without any post-processing like they are shown and we look at them at 100% and they remain as stunning, then I would appreciate that info, and I think it should be made more widely available, but you can only do that if you give the complete and correct information, certainly after some of the horrible high ISO shots which have been shown on various sites. Have you seen this:

Cheers, Bob.

Once all the official parts and products are out then you will really know for sure. Judging the unlreleased lens by snuck out pictures isn't going to tell you much,
