A7riii is a decent camera to adapt A_mount lenses, though personally I would put in a little extra and go for A7riv as its AF is much better and still would do justice to A-mount lenses. A1 is the ...

In India, Sony removed A99ii and A77ii back in first half of 2018. I was one of the last ones to grab A99ii in the country and even that was shipped from Malaysia. Its been long coming and now ...

I guess its a mix of things. People have moved on to E-mount as there hasn't been A-mount releases in last 4 years so not much discussions around those and this has in turn created a lack of ...

Sony 28-75 f2.8 is a very good option on a budget and is sharp in centers wide open. Stopping down will help with sharpness across the frame. Sony 24-70 f2.8 Zeiss is the best lens hands down and ...

Yes its a know issue with SSM fuse blowing up, and SSM lenses won't work. However these problems are usually due to a faulty lens, and it would create a problem post repair as well. So you must ...

A99ii has the best mechanism though. Where rest of the cameras offer one MFA adjustment for the lens be it zoom or prime, A99ii has implemented MFA the best with zoom lenses it will allow tuning ...

None of the third party brands manufacture A-mount teleconvertors any more, so getting a new one won't be possible. Kenko did build 1.4 and 2x teleconverters and there are some older ones under ...

From what I have read, Tamron 16-300 is the best of mega zoom lenses available for A-mount, though it has its own limitations. Sony 18-200 is quite outdated.

These are same lenses with no difference except for the badge on them. Sony 70-200 G2 lens has some improvements in terms of focus speed, some internal coatings and moisture & dust resistance.

Sony's own teleconverters for A-mount would work with 70-200 but not with 135. If you want something for both lenses, try Kenko's teleconverter and they should be fine on A77ii. They will work ...

70-400 I have is an excellent sample and with focus limiter, I find its performance to be great. So finding a similar optical sample will be a gamble, that I don't want to take. On 70-200, I have ...

Seems your sensor has gone bad. As everything else is working as desired with AF points appearing, screen is showing all the relevant information and settings are changing.

In general prices for A-mount gear in used market is really bad here, A99ii for about 1k, both G zooms and Zeiss zooms for about 600-800, Zeiss primes are about 600, and so on the goes list. I ...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I believe general wisdom as per everyone's answer is to keep using the A99ii body I have and not buy a 2nd A99ii body even though its a bargain as with my usage, ...

Now may be this question has been asked before and answered before but when one deals with dilemmas of photography kind one has to resort to like minded people for wisdom. A friend who works for ...

No sure how these people ended up writing those reviews, but from little of what I read these guys are ignorant of the capabilities of LA-EA5. A friend of mine works for Sony and has played with ...

I don't have experience with IDC, but I was a Lightroom/Photoshop user and since moved to Capture One and found that colors on LR were indeed muted while CO produces better colors.

A900 and A850 are two cameras which have their own charm and I have been thinking of grabbing one for some time now. Finding one in great condition is a must as otherwise getting them repaired ...

16-50 is an ideal lens in my book for APS-C, as its got a decent coverage, fast aperture and silent AF. If range is  something you are after my next bet would be 16-80 Zeiss; though a sharp lens, ...

Of the two, I would say go for 500 as 70-300 with teleconverter would be weak. 500 lacks contrast which could be tweak in post processing and results are good. Bokeh on 500, personally never ...
