My understanding is that ADI was introduced to cope with a specific scenario - when the subject is highly reflective.  That's why it is selectable.  If that is not the case, just don't use it. ...

They have already stated that they will continue with A-mount lenses and cameras.  The problem is that a sizeable group does not believe it - hence this, and many other, threads.

I agree, just a small crop, easily allowed for with a zoom lens, and no visible degradation.

And I guess you've had your answer - none of those ;-)

Believe as you wish, but it is normal for overseas subsidiaries of Japanese companies to have discretion as to which products they import and distribute. They are profit centers in their own ...

No, it simply means that E-mount cameras are not really suitable bodies for A-mount lenses.  A-mount cameras have no problem, which is why so many owners of A-mount cameras are not interested in ...

Highly unlikely.  What need is there to test the waters?  If they want to stop A-mount, they just stop it.  They are not politicians, trying not to lose votes.

No, Australia is a special case.  The local Sony executives released advertising that rubbished DSLR/T cameras in extolling the virtues of E-mount models.  Nothing balanced, no "horses for ...

No, there are none. If you are buying from a shop, measure the distance between the front of the shoe and the middle of the center contact. If it exceeds 7.8mm it is oversize, so you will have to ...

And yet there are no such issues afaik with respect to A-mount Minolta, Sony and Tamron lenses and Minolta and Sony A-mount cameras.

Is that with the new firmware, because I have not seen any overheating reports with that firmware?

Actually, it only moves in two directions; up/down and left/right, and combinations thereof to achieve roll.  So it does not move towards/away from the lens. The so-called 5-axes of stabilization ...

I understand that, when used as a controller which participates in the illumination in ratio mode, it will modulate its illumination output according to the ratio set by the user, but the command ...

I think Sony expects the A-mount market to shrink a little more, and then stabilise. I think they realise they have customers for whom the A7 series cameras-plus-adapter solution has little ...

Regrettably, no business has unlimited resources. Good businessmen prioritise the best prospects. That's to capture and expand the new market segment, maximise sales from early adopters and keep ...

True, but the significance is misinterpreted by the "A-mount is dead" brigade. The mirrorless market segment is expanding and Sony must keep the effort there to gain and retain market share. The ...

I have the a57 and a77II. The latter is more versatile (handles more difficult circumstances successfully), plus you have focus micro-adjust. Well worth the money. No experience of a6000, but I ...

One possibility is that, with f11, the remote flash units cannot manage enough power to adequately light the scene. This would depend on the distances between flashes and subject. If possible, try ...

That's my expectation (the mirrorless A-mount), but I think that it won't come unless Sony can develop the mirrorless AF to be at least as good as a77II (incl screw drive).  If it were not, it's ...
