I would never buy a lens with a plastic mount.

Well I have a stack of Sony mount lens as well. For the moment my A77s are just fine for me. Maybe I will consider a Sony 6600 with an adapter but I do not feel strongly about the need. For me the...

A77ii well not manufactured anymore, perhaps not obsolete - I have 2. A well built and designed 12 FPS camera. Mine cost me $1100 CAD brand new there is nothing at that price point that can compete.

nice idea 30 years too late.

Long before there was the 20th century New Speak word Anemoia, there was nostalgia. Neither Proust, Hemingway, nor Hugo could have spoke of Anemoia, the only word they could use was nostalgia.

Having had both a Nikon F and a FE, I understand the look and feel argument, there was something satisfying about them. However they were not without their faults. While I admit there was a...

given the almost microscopic size of this technology one should be impressed.

Strangely this is not a 16-300mm which they have already made.

Personally If the first digital cameras had dials it would have been logical No after so many years I have no interest in going back to dials.

Hands on shooting experience - I think not, pulling...

Flagship I guess it will be called a D1, Imitation is the highest form of flattery

Gee just like Sony - not really much news here,

Manual focus lenses, Ultra Wide angles you can get away using the hyper-focal distance. Telephones lenses another story. $5000 Mirrorless camera shooting 12+ frames per second and a manual lens,...

slow lens, short zoom range, $500. If it started at 24mm it might be interesting, otherwise I would pass on this one.

personally I never use auto ISO. I prefer to know the value being used and set it manually.

you know if camera manufacturers at the Dawn of digital had glued a set of dials that mimicked a film camera everyone would have been ecstatic, but times moved on. in a film camera ISO only changes...

No doubt old lenses are good given they were designed with less computing power than is available today and given the chemistry of coatings has improved.

However I am prepared to be proven wrong...
