Actually, you will find mentions of an update failing, with the camera (fully charged btw) simply getting stuck at a point in the update, in DPR forums. It happened to me. (And it did render the ...

The ‘FE-to-E’ focal length reducer? Taken from a rather sceptical SAR. What’s wrong? As I understand it It would give you the same field of view of an FE lens on an APSC camera, potentially useful ...

There are three very good Minolta zoom lenses: 35-70 f3.5  or, optically the same but the Macro variety, the 35-70 f3.5 Macro. (Famously, Leica had Minolta design this for them.) An excellent ...

There are.

@dnaeyy: I wonder if they could? Sony managed to confound those who argued they could never make this or that because the E mount wouldn’t allow it, and their lens designers seem to be getting...

@SNJops: It will also probably allow them to gauge the degree of interest so they get an idea of what their production should be, hopefully avoiding the situation one company seems to have got...

Given the only two known ‘development announcements’ were for serious (-ly expensive) pro lenses, just looks like Sony’s really announcing ‘Hi there, you pros, we are thinking of you.’
(Perhaps...

Actually, a couple of things occurred to me. Sony’s been a bit slow coming out with pro grade telephoto primes, as opposed to more ‘generalist’ lenses, unlike Nikon, who seem to have almost ...

@whitelens
Shall we have a poll?

For around £75 (i.e. about a tenth of the going rate for a good used 6400 body) you find out whether it can be rescued or not. Seems worth it to me. Sony Central Services in Wales will charge £56 ...

I agree it’s unlikely because SCS would be reluctant, I think, to guarantee any repair even for its normal (rather measly, in my opinion) 90 days. They’d either confirm that (or say they’d try) ...

If they did a development announcement of the 600, it’s no longer visible, as far as I can see.
Two...

The exception that proves the rule. Apart from that, it’s going to be expensive, so they’re giving the pros a year to save up, double their fees, ha, ha, fat chance, or tout for more work.
Or time...

https://alphauniverse.com/stories/sony-electronics-announces-development-of-300mm-f2-8-g-master-oss-telephoto-fullframe-emount-lens/ As a few people have pointed out, Sony don’t generally do ...

No matter. I was thinking of the OP, who seems to have posted the same question elsewhere and isn’t looking through this one anyway.

@Liam K
Is that a rumour from a reliable source?

Just enough time for Tony Northrup to find his glasses and intone “Breaking Nooos!!!!’

Me. But I’m getting used to people not reading back through posts ;-) (Though the maker of that video would have benefitted from subscribing to Mark Galer’s tutorial videos on Sony AF settings ...

@ panther fan: Actually, it’s pretty obvious none of those rumour sites actually have (or ever had) any informed contacts in the various companies. They seem mostly to have relied on a single...

Somebody hit the ‘upload’ or ‘publish’ key from the ‘Drafts’ folder three hours early , I presume. I also presume (it’s becoming traditional with DPR these days) that after 1500 GMT we’ll have a...
