  • That's mostly true, but not completely. The smart remote app allows use of a iPhone or something as an intelligent remote, with remote viewing capabilities. I've got my gripes with it, but it's...

  • Replied in Nex-6?
    Has anybody confirmed that this device will fit on a Nex-6? Is the flash the same / similar size and configure. as on the 5r?
  • I have that lens with the Nex-6 and love it.  You can shoot in any mode with it.  First, you need to enable "release w/o lens" in the setup menu because, as you note, the camera doesn't know what's...
  • Thanks, Zhe, I saw that, but it was just conjecture.  I'm wondering if anyone has actually received one, and how to be sure.
  • I'm about to buy a SEL18200LE, and want to make sure that I get one with the new firmware.  How do I know?  I know that there's a version screen in the setup menu of my NEX-6.  With both the two...
  • So, will the F20s work on the Nex-6 with the MAA adapter?  Or, do the Nex-5, etc. have some different hot shoe than the SLTs, or different proprietary signals, or???
  • Thanks for all the helpful advice!  For now, I've just ordered the low-cost adapter that was suggested, and will try that out.  I'd really prefer a longer macro than my 70mm Sigma, so will also be...

    I'm happy in almost every way with my Nex-6.  One area that seems to be lacking is a decent macro lens.  Is there an e-mount one on the horizon from anybody?  I do have a Sigma 70mm. macro, Nikon...
  • Thanks, Tiago.If I do any profiles, I'll be sure to upload them for others.
  • I'm eagerly awaiting my pre-ordered nex-6.  Should be here soon!  I shoot raw almost entirely and process with LR and/or PS.  Looking at the early raws shot with the kit 16-50mm and the wide zoom...
  • Also, from the same site,
    "AE Bracketing With 1/3, 2/3, 1, 2, 3EV increments, 3frames"
    Granted, 5 frames would be better, but at least it's got broad enough bracketing now for HDR shooting. Also,...

  • Sure, a little bit. That's what I meant by ability to use the entire frame. But, with so much resolution now available, does it matter?

  • For years, I shot with a view camera and loved the tilt-shift functionality, Mostly for perspective control, which I really missed in SLRs. Now, though, with excellent perspective control...
