LA-EA1 can autofocus with SSM/SAM lenses - I own the 35mm 1.8 SAM (I think, or maybe it is 30mm..). Anyways, it is INCREDIBLY slow at focusing, and that adapter is made by Sony. I wouldn't hold out...

As VeryBigLebowski (nice nick!) says, it does not speak to the camera. I started out using my dslr on full auto mode, then started playing with aperture, shutter, exposure. Now I have started...

Thanks - and I have actually started toying with the idea of getting a speedbooster,though I think if I am to buy new glass, maybe the Leica-R version is more interesting (and cheaper!)

My guess, is you have two big groups of Nex owners.First time interchangeable camera-owners, with no canon glasssony alpha/minolta owners who picked up a nex, again with no canon glass.I belong to...

I haven't tried much in terms of JPEG PP (I exclusively use Raw now), but I love Adobe Lightroom. It would cost you around $120, but if you wait, it tends to come on sale now and then, and you may...

You should be able to see how many pictures have been taken with the camera. If the numbering starts up there, you definitely have a return.I advise you to at least do the following:-Use a very...

I had my camera modified (for astro photography - both removing the ir filter, and heat reduction). I'll try to record in hot weather. Indoors, it records the full 29 minutes no problem.

I put the OS, Lightroom and all my images on a large SSD - it is really fast this way.

No. Too bad they didn't manage to get that into v2. That would have been incredible, though I'm not sure how they would do it practically speaking. Sony's way of supporting most legacy sony/minolta...

could you actually see the blobs on the sensor(or really filter in front of sensor) either with naked eye, or with a magnifying glass?

I think I may have a tough one. I purchased a astro-modified nex 5n and just received it. Had some dust blobs that I used a blower to get rid off. Ran the cleaning function about ten times or so,...

well, this could allow for changing the output from HDMI, so you get a clean signal (which can be externally recorded), or make it possible to do higher bitrate, or possibly higher framerate...

While the Nex (with the right lens) can always produce better pictures, the question is if the RX is "good enough" in most cases?In my view, this depends on a few factors (in no particular...

Thanks for the summary! :)

ok, thanks

Probably a stupid question, but if you put say a Nikon or Canon flash on this - what kind of control will the camera have?For instance on my old minolta dslr, I have a 3rd party metz flash with a...

Very nice, especially considering you used the kit-lens!

I think you got it right. They would have to change the mount, which would means you are making something closer to an alpha, with a Nex adapter (hopefully very low profile, but I have no idea...

Looks great. Any reason you chose this over the Minolta 50 1.7? Is the Pentax considered better?

He must be getting old, as he apparently forgot all about the Nex system that offers better sensors, and actually offers versions with a EVF (or as an add-on)if he wants to compare as systems and...
