With all the leaks over at fuji and oly when will we get some NEX7 successor specs?
Was thinking the same… but apparently not 🙁 A camera is supposed to be announced two weeks from now and we still don’t know crap ! That’s a little nuts. Maybe Sony themselves don’t have a clue as to what to release…
If the world needs something – its more Sony A7 reviews… There is definetly too few of them so far.
Now, how about some A-mount rumors Andrea?
+1
Keep them coming, Andrea. Love to read them!
Nice video.
You talk about the A73….
And here is how that advertisement was made: http://vimeo.com/82261362
We A mount users are being left out of all the news.
E mount is not suitable for my needs and I would really like to hear something about stuff I can use.
Specs on the new A mounts would be highly welcome.
A recent rumor concerned a possible 70-200 f2.
I would really like to see good macro or close focus (1/2 or 1/3 ) ability in a lens like that..or mayby in a 100- 300 f4 with high quality and 1/2 magnification.
For A mount.
+1
E-Mount users are disturbed and insulted by all these sort complaints.
A-Mount is not suitable for my needs and I would really like to get inspired by stuff I can use.
Therefore is it possible to sperate A-Mount from E-Mount news here, so A-Mount-Users can celebrate themselves inside their own territory without polluting their hate into E-Mount news? Thanx.
I don’t hate E mount I just have no use for it
I don’t believe you, because if you wouldn’t hate E-Mount you wouldn’t disturb E-Mount news with annoying postings like that, flooding the discussion with off-topic complaints. But if you really want to go on like that, just give other people the feeling, they never want to belong to such an intolerant communitiy like yours so they’ll will look forward to the day Sony will cut off A-Mount completely, so E-Mount users coud enjoy their gear without these hate bashing A-Mounters – it’s your choice…
If I had A mount news or rumors to post on I wouldnt need to ask for A mount info on E mount posts.
You are of course free to believe anything you want.
Do I correctly understand your threat to discontinue A mount if I dont stop talking about it..
Do I also crrectly understand your acusation that I am the intolerant person here.
Just checking to se if I correctly read your comment.
Yes, you’re the intolerant guy, flooding E-Mount News with complaints E-Mount is unusable for you, so you want to read more about A-Mount. When I started to become a NEX user I thought A-Mount is gear to take photography like every other mount system, but some of these A-Mount users are fequently bashing against E-Mount into every form they find as if they’re war victims. If you’re going on like that many people will experience a discontiuation of A-Mount as a relief from annoying complaints like yours – I don’t like to feel this way, so just stop it, thanx.
No I will continue to talk about what concerns me despite the fact that you are not willing to tollerate it.
I have always encouraged others..even those like yourself…to continue to express your views even if I dissagree or am annoyed by them that is tollerence.
Telling others to stop making thier comments because they annoy you is intollerence.
Clearly the qualities that annoy you the most are your oun.
If as you claim intollerrence is a quality that you do not like then learn to tollerate others.
Your Off-Topic whining does not deserve any tolerance at all, since you’re the one here lacking respect for others with your frequently disturbing penetration into discussions, where people like to get inspired to use newer and forthcoming photography gear.
I’m a heavy A user, I own a a77, a99, a900. But I really love my NEX-7 it’s always with me, I have my A mounts for work and my E mount for personal use.
Furthermore while E mount is a good system with some good qualities and very usefull for some people..ppl robably yourself..I do not have the same needs as you and E mount will simply not do what I need a camera to do.
That dies not make it a bad camera and I have never said otherwise.
A 70-200/2 for full frame is unlikely, simply because of the size.
Think about the 70-200/2.8 as an example. They are bigger than 70/2.8 primes and 200/2.8 primes. So a constant f/2 70-200 would need to be bigger than a 200/2 prime. Even if we take the old Nikkors, which don’t have any AF or optical stabilisation, they are very large just because of the 100mm front lens diameter. I can just imagine the whining sounds at night from people on online forums about how they can’t use their 77mm filters and how they are going to pick up a second 70-200/2.8 for portability lol
The same logic that applied to size also applies to price. A 200mm f/2.8 (Canon) is just under $800 but their current 70-200/2.8 is ~$2400 (as is Nikon’s). The Sony 70-200/2.8 is $3000 carrying a 25% premium (for not having OSS like the others maybe lol). A 200mm f/2 from either Canon or Nikon costs just under $6000. Don’t expect a Sony 70-200/2 to be any less. Realistically it’ll be around $6000-8000 without the Sony premium.
What were you hoping to pay for such a lens? 🙂
I think you are correct….f2.8 would be fine.
Primarily I would either like something like the old Tamron 70-200 f2.8 macro with a high speed motor or a higher quality lens like the sigma 70-300 macro..it might be higher quality if it started at 100 instead of 75mm
Price comparable to presently available lenses.
If z shift becomes available for focus that would add close focus capability to existing lenses without needing to stop and put on an extension tube and these lenses might not be necessary,,but my main need is for long focal length macro…a high quality long macro zoom would reduce the need to carry around many macro primes.
The field of view of typical zooms is much wider at close focusing distances than the mm number written on the barrel suggests. Best example is Nikon’s 70-200 @ 200 being more comparable to a 125mm instead. So even if you find your perfect macro zoom with a narrow field of view, it’ll have to have a much higher mm figure to match what you can get with a prime. So instead of a small’ish fast’ish 200/4 or a 180/2.8 macro prime, you’ll be carrying a much larger 70-300 or even a 70-400 with a slow f/5.6 aperture to get the same field of view at macro magnifications. The zoom will also be no match to a proper macro prime. What one hand gives the other takes…
A lens like this should have normal old fashioned focusing….barrel extension…..instead of internal focusing.
The trade off would be the lack of constant aperture and lens length but since the main value of such a lens wou ‘ll d be long focal length mb acr that would be preserved.
Barrel should extend but not rotate.
Ancient Buddhist saying “”I wept because I had no A mount lenses, until I saw a man who had no camera”
srly stop whining about the A-mount,it gets annoying, its confirmed that more A mount lenses are coming, and you have a ton more lenses to go with compared to E mount..
I am not whining about a lack of lense I am whining about the lack of specs f ok r the new A mount cameras that I have not been able to buy for a very long time.
As for the lenses I have suggested some lenses that would be usefull to me..not complaining about a general lack of lenses.
But Barry, you are a painter, what difference does it make?
His paintings are very detailed so I think the more details he can see the more he can paint.
Totally correct.
Oh, I understand. He traces the photograph to make “art.”
Wheelus
Insults like this are totally uncalled for and serve no usefull function.
Please refrain from insulting me.
I was kinda rude sorry <3 lack of nicotine
I wishing for some A mount FF news!!
me too, hopefully tomorrow first day of the news is a SAR5 FF A Mount news, with specs, PLEASE ANDREA READ THIS and give us some loving
nofilmschool.com/2014/01/sony-takes-a7-a7r-to-new-heights-stunning-commercial-red-epic/
Buaahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa I just can not stop laugh .
best advertising for Red Epic
Yes, Red Epic. I have complained before and I will complain again, if A mount is a serious one, and not just here until Sony figures out some E-mount technological issues, then they should make a good video camera with it.
They need to update the playmemories timelapse app v. 2 to be supported by the other camera bodies. That was a huge failing and made the app nearly worthless.
Can we see other review roundups? Like lenses review round ups, with the 18-70 or 18-105 for instance?
+1
Would have been cooler if it was an a900 getting a Zeiss 135mm slapped on it.
Fantastic ad. Missed it before. Thanks Andrea for sharing 🙂
I spent the 2nd half of the video wondering how much dust entered the body before the lens was put on, and whether there is any significant dust with only a little atmosphere.
