Rishi, I'm surprised the gallery doesn't show any low-light scenes. As someone who owns the MF 135 STF I'm quite used to using it on a tripod - and of course you can dial in magnified manual focus...

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll enjoy the new gear for years to come. I wanted to help clear up something that was said about the IBIS: unless it's a Sony lens (or, probably, Minolta; I haven't ...

I'd love to get Focal working on Sony. Here's some data from their website: "Cameras not supported by FoCal include all Sony / Pentax / Panasonic cameras. FoCal’s support for a wider range of ...

Ditto ... I have both and while the STF takes a little more work, it's my preference (the ZA is no slouch, of course).

It will [help others help you] if you tell them why you want to upgrade, what kind of subjects you want to shoot (the most) and what lenses you have. Also, here's a nice link that's full of ...

I'm not a LR user at the moment (have it, but prefer other software); I do use PS CS6, often, for finishing. Re: sharpening, Photokit Sharpener is a special product that always adjusts to your ...

I don't know if it's the same kind of company logic, but a little over a year ago I had a problem with my [now 3+ year old dryer.]  A service guy came in and found the problem; with labor it would ...

Re: CA, I had that problem with the ZA 135 and bought a Tiffen UV 2A haze filter ... no more purple!

I'm guessing it's just the shallow DOF; he got the horse and not the rider.

It's old news for me too, but there were a lot of posts that questioned the quantities and had no reference to the most likely reason (aside from low expectations on Sony's part and priorities ...

I do understand your pov, but if a serious videographer wants to shoot with AF and something other than that single aperture, she/he can't. If video's your main passion and the stills are ...

Now that's a reason to return it!

Sadly, I thought my own electoral college members might buck the trend and get my name on the list. (fun story, though!)

Marco, I'd just dial it in and forget about it. You've got two elements for which it's virtually impossible to have "exact" placement and qualities - that's why many camera brands have MFA. (But ...

Number 6.  B&H actually notified me on Sunday before they realized Sony wouldn't let them ship it until the 30th.

Hi, Brian.  I think the specs are attracting more interest than any A-mount body in my memory, but the video enthusiasts are shrinking from it due to the video AF limitation (understandably). ...

Thanks, Marco; I checked the manual and you're correct.

So I had the B&H notice that I'd get the grip and body today - but only the grip came. I ultimately called B&H and, after some investigation, was told that the body's in the warehouse (that's why ...

Hi. I see all the reports that there's no AF illuminator.  If so, was this guy using a pre-production model?
