Ok, since you asked. For any optical image you can capture with the A57, the A99 sensor will give you slightly worse image quality other than resolution. The A99 will however let you capture some ...

The A6300 and A6500 don't have the fast electronic shutter that allows the A9 to make AF calculations all the time. The A9 is like the SLT's in that its AF sensors are never blocked by a ...

It looks like the only motorized lens you have is the 35mm. I've tried mine on an A6300 using the LA-EA1 and the AF speed was fine. All the other lenses require one of the SLT adapters for ...

Cheapest AF lenses: (1) 18-55mm OSS (2) 16-50mm OSS (3) 55-210mm OSS (4) Sigma 30mm F2.8 (5) Sigma 19mn F2.8 (6) Sigma 60mm F2.8

Here are some entry level specs of the A6500: (1) 1/4000 s top shutter speed (2) 1/160 s sync speed (3) Small, dim, low resolution screen

Slight defocus MFD, center MFD, top right MFD, bottom left The mold rings look like they are offset to the top right, so this might just be a centering issue.

Well, I discovered something I should have thought about. I saw the baffles of the LA-EA1. Even right in the center of the frame the top and bottom of the oof ball gets clipped.

Maybe I'll try that today. I have the lens packed up to return, but I could repack it. I am not sure if I have a tiny LED. I certainly have LED Christmas lights, and a cheap flashlight or two. ...

Some good advice already. Some specific inexpensive lenses to consider: Sony DT 35mm F1.8 SAM Minolta/Sony AF 50mm F1.4 Minolta AF 50mm F1.7 Sony DT 50mm F1.8 SAM Sony 85mm F2.8 SAM Minolta AF ...

I have an A5000 and am also looking at both of the cameras you mention too. Neither of those have a touch-screen or any other better way of selecting a focus point than the A5000. Both have ...

I didn't say that. I said optical images get dimmer as you make them larger. If you shoot at the same relative aperture on different formats you get different images. If you want the difference, ...

There is always risk. I've had so many individual sellers refund my payment immediately and let me keep the item, which sometime I can fix. The 16-80 I have right now is one of those. It had a ...

I am in sticker shock compared to what I've been paying for A mount lenses: 16-80CZ $1000 list, $208 and $198 used 16-50 F2.8 $800 list, $300 used 16-105 $700 list, $125 and $160 used 18-135 $500 ...

eBay and PayPal side with sellers often in these situations. Sellers are their customers not buyers. The sellers pay all the fees. I had a seller admit in messages on the eBay system that the item ...

Cool, I hadn't seen that. I have tried it on the Neewer 28 F2.8, and it does sort of work on that pancake lens too. I just had to hold it in place. It certainly doesn't work on every lens. It ...

You already have a stabilized 16mm lens in the kit zoom. I find stabilization helpful at 16mm. I don't consider 16mm ultra-wide. 20mm is definitely not very wide. The 16/2.8 and 20/2.8 and the ...

The Tamron 70-300 USD masquerades as a 70-300G (it borrows the lens ID of that lens), so it does support AF-D on the A99, at least according to the Dyxum database and one reviewer there. I am ...

I am not expecting it. I was comparing the Samsung and Fuji versions to the A-mount lens , and the Samsung 16-50 F2-2.8 isn't really smaller than my LA-EA1 and DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM. The Fujinon XF ...

No, zebras and focus peaking aren't put in the HDMI output of the A5000. I think it is because you could be hooking it up to any resolution monitor, and actual field monitors have those functions ...

I'll accept that they are popular ideas. It is easy to get swayed by popularity, especially after you're invested in it.
