  • I have had very similar experiences with the SEL35F18.  I do believe, as mentioned, that the narrow DOF at large apertures makes it quite difficult to really nail the focus.  I tend to leave it in...
  • Does it almost look like horizontal lines in the area of movement?  I have noticed this with my F3, but it depends on how I play it back. In camera, it looks fine.  On my Mac when I play it via...
  • In my circle of friends I have seen one NEX-F3 (mine), one Samsung NX100 and two DSLRs.  Everybody has an iPhone/Android they take pictures with, and compacts are virtually non-existent.  The NEX...
  • Interesting - I have experienced the same fill-flash exposure problems with my NEX-F3 but always figured I was doing something wrong. Anybody else see these problems on the F3 and/or notice if they...
  • I have experienced the same thing on my F3.  The time I most want to use DMF, when the camera doesn't find focus, is the time I can't actually use it - frustrating!  Unfortunately this seems to be...
  • After moving from compact Canon's to an iPhone 4S as the primary camera in the family, my wife started putting on the pressure to upgrade to a DSLR for better pictures of the kids. I couldn't bring...

  • Thought some might be interested in a size comparison with the 18-55 kit lens.  The focus ring on the 35 comes to pretty much the exact spot as the zoom ring on the kit.
  • Based on how cold it was when I took it out of the box this evening - after sitting in the back of a UPS truck for about 12 hours - and the condensation that formed, my guess is the body is metal....
  • I actually returned a 5R in favor of an F3.  The built-in flash was the big deal for me, and saving $250 was pretty nice too (of course the prices vary constantly).  I find not only is the flash...
  • Exact same situation here.  I think your UPS tip just saved 17th Street a few angry phone calls today!
  • Replied in ALL GONE
    I just spoke to somebody on the phone at 17th Street, who said my lens has just shipped out this morning.  They marked it as shipped on the 14th, which was clearly a little premature, but it looks...
  • Count me in with those that cancelled at Sony.com and went to 17th Street. The Sony.com customer service person assured me that the lens was showing in stock at the warehouse, and that it would...
  • Do you hear any difference when you turn it off?  There should be a quite noticeable difference switching between on/off.  If you don't hear a large difference, maybe it's stuck off. I would search...
  • I ordered on the 10th, when it was showing In Stock.  The expected shipping moved from the 11th, to the 12th, now to the 13th. My order status has moved from "Processing" to "Shipping Update".  I...
  • Today I called the local Sony store (San Diego) and they stated "towards the end of the year".  I too had been constantly refreshing Sony.com amongst other sites, so when I saw "In Stock" this...
