    Advice wanted concerning the Tamron 18-200 for a6000

    My understanding (from 2 years ago) was the Tamron 18-200 does not support PDAF, but the Sony 18200LE (which supposedly is the same lens) does after a FW update. The lens needed to be sent back to Sony for the update, But now I suppose they should have the new FW when sold. I also had the...

    NEX-6 off to Laredo; what's the typical turnaround time to resolve the lens contact issue?

    I had my NEX5R fixed last year. Took about 10 days (including shipping), but there was a long weekend in the middle.

    NEX-6 lens blackout/reset bug

    My early NEX5R had the problem. When back to Sony and the contact assembly was replaced. Never have the problem since. Just a week or so ago, someone posted a link of an exposed view of the Nex-3? from Sears parts department. Out of curiosity, I took a look at the part (it was a $20 part), and...

    Hmmm...SEL18200 or SEL18200LE on NEX 6?

    I have the LE. The LE does have PDAF (Had to send it in to SONY to upgrade firmware to get it--later ones have the new FW). The Tamron version do not have PDAF.

    For those of you who complain about a lack of native E mount lenses

    Sorry, didn't see it. How about support for PDAF? Not all Sony lens support it.

    For those of you who complain about a lack of native E mount lenses

    Any chance you could/should add a column about whether the lens has stabilization?

    Nex 5RL Japanese to English language?

    The US version has a Language option, but it does not include Japanese. So the Japanese version could be different. The language option in the US version is in the setup, about halfway down, between the Beep and Date/Time setup options.

    Nex-6 Problem: thinks lens is not there, or recognized, playback problems

    I have a NEX-5R, the 18-55 kit lens and the SEL18200LE and a friend has a NEX-6. My NEX-5R had the reset problem with the 18200LE, but not the 1855. This seem to indicate the problem is in the 18200LE. However, the 18200LE has no problem on the NEX-6. This seem to rule out the 18200LE lens. I...

    Question on Peaking and 3rd party lens

    I kept 'enable without lens' on my NEX-5N set, and it does go to sleep after the set time. Only "remote" trigger mode prevents the camera from sleeping.
