  • Alpha A-mount System • The LAEA4 Might be "discontinued" November 17, 2021
    I had a look on Amazon sites, it's mostly showing available as "used" only.This includes many of the European ones and other camera retailers.If this is true, it might be another heavy blow for some users.Reason, for screw drive lenses - the LAEA4 works on most of the cameras out there including the A7/II/III, and […]

GGS Toughened Glass LCD Protectors for Alpha

By David Kilpatrick, on March 23rd, 2010

Alpha Live View in the studio – solved!

By David Kilpatrick, on July 21st, 2008

One of the problems with the Alpha 350/300 is that the Live View is linked to the settings when you use Manual exposure. It provides a form of metering, a relatively accurate preview of under or over exposure. This makes it impossible to use Manual with studio flash (AC mains strobe) setups.
