"You get an ovf" But not a good OVF, a pentamirror APS-C OVF. The NEX-6 EVF has that one beat in magnification (1.09x), coverage (100%) and brightness. The jury is still out on FF pentaprism...

The problem is that 40mm on APS-C is in no-man's land.

I do too. In any case, the Lenspen SensorKlear is exactly the same type of pad and cleaning material as normal Lenspens as far as I can tell.I've used the Lenspen Micropro quite a few times on my...

Yes, definitely a good idea to choose a focus point and use it to focus on the eyes. I often use only the central point to focus, then recompose after locking if required. Face detection works...
-
Well, the most obvious criticism is that you focussed on the dog's nose rather than the eyes.
Depth of field is very shallow at wide apertures on a 50mm lens, so careful focussing is needed. Be...

"much better maintenance of things like public roads" Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Good one. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/uks-potholes-now-a-tourist-attraction-2013042666803

Ah yes, at the top! Sure it didn't say that before, though I was half awake at the time.

The Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN for my NEX was the best £99 I ever spent. This new Sigma 18-35mm could equal that, albeit at significantly higher cost, as I'd barely ever change lenses. BTW, I wonder...

The sharpness doesn't look too bad in that shot, but f/5.6 is wide open at 50mm.
Try shooting in the middle of the zoom range at f/8 - that should yield best sharpness.
50mm on my 16-50mm certainly...

Any softness in these samples is probably more down to Sony's poor JPEG engine than any lack of sharpness of the lens.
In my experience, at default settings, Sony's JPEG engine smears details even...

Shamael, have you never heard of facial distortion? Shoot a portrait of your wife/girlfriend from 2ft at 18mm and see how happy she is with the result...

Thanks, but as already mentioned in this thread, I tracked down a supplier of the mirror and fitted it myself.
I'm not sure polishing of the mirror is possible. It is made of plastic and has a...

That article makes a mistake when talking about autofocus performance, though. The A77's AF module actually gets more light than a conventional DSLR AF module.

EXIF data says your A700 was set to +1 EV compensation, so it's effectively only ISO 3200. Even so, that's pretty good for ISO 3200 on the A700.

Sounds like you have the shadow and highlight clipping warnings switched on.I don't have Lightroom, but if it's the same as CS6 they can be switched off by clicking the two buttons either side of...
-
Right, good news. I tested a couple of lenses and all is working as expected. Focusing works correctly, so no issues with calibration etc., and image quality is also fine.
I can now only assume...

**UPDATE**
The new mirror arrived (part no. A1855640A) and it looks identical to the original and fitted absolutely fine.
I just need to do a few test shots tonight, but can't see any reason why...

There is no weather sealing on the gen II lens for some strange reason.

Bear in mind that to get the 55-210mm at that price you are buying a "split from kit" lens from Camera Centre. To get one in retail packaging direct from Amazon will cost £242.85.
Of course, these...
