You should review the information about this lens on dyxum. Several Sigma lenses, including this one, have compatibility problems with A77 that Sigma will correct for free. Apparently current...

Personally, I'd rather not have a physical alpha-numeric keyboard integrated into or attached to my camera. Nor would I want a touch-screen or joystick controlled on-screen keyboard. Why? Because I...

What kind of extended warranty would cover such accidental damage? Some home & contents insurance policies might cover it but, given the item value, it'd probably need to be a listed item on the...

I had a similar issue with an SDXC card on a recent trip to Vietnam. I chose to copy files from memory cards to a portable hard-drive using the computer in the hotel room. That computer was WinXP...

The Steadyshot scale on some models indicated the amount of camera shake as reported by the accelerometers. Thus you could use it to adjust your stance/holding and reduce how much IBIS would be...

what I saw a Canon pro shooter doing at a rock concert recently. He squatted onto the dusty concrete, removed a lens, then set the body face up (no body cap) on the ground while he fiddled in his...

The author of that article stated that the camera was on a tripod but did not state that he disabled stabilisation. The image quality can be degraded under these circumstances.Just a thought.

Mould/fungus can develop inside a lens if it were stored in a moist place. To check for this you need to visually inspect the lens while unmounted.Point the front element of the lens at a bight...

Has anyone else found that their lenses require less MA after applying FW 1.07?

Actually the OP also stated that after FW 1.07 lenses required less adjustment. Your comment was about people imagining changes after applying the FW update. My comment was to reinforce the OP that...

I wasn't imagining that SONY lenses that required micro-adjust under FW 1.06 did not under FW 1.07. As noted in this dpreview post, same technique and conditions used for calibration. Of course...

The SAL1650 kit lens is not kit quality. It's actually an excellent piece of glass and is weather-sealed to boot!

I have to admit I've not tested this, but my understanding was that an MA setting for a given lens model (e.g. SAL1650) would apply to any copy of that lens mounted on the same camera.

I don't see why a micro-adjust value could not be applied by a firmware update as a known lens compensation. After all, when you alter the micro-adjust value it gives an offset to the AF software.

Back to the general topic: has anyone noticed that their micro-adjust values are different with 1.07 than they were with 1.06 for any lens (Sony or other manufacturer)?

Hi AllTonight I applied 1.07 following the instructions on the sony.com.au website. All went well.For those of you wondering, the reset/update process wiped the micro adjustment settings. As it...
