    1. Using your ‘logic’ Sony sucks. So why buy stuff that sucks? BTW, you’d look like a real cool hipster wearing a “Sony sucks” t-shirt. Still time to get one in time for Christmas! ;^)

  1. A-mount was discontinued by Sony, so why would anyone want this!??!

    Admin, stop posting links to a dead camera system

    1. Relax! A-mount isn’t going anywhere.

      Sony just announced two new updates to their A-mount Zeiss line-up that are shipping in the new year:
      http://www.thephoblographer.com/2014/11/21/sony-announces-new-improved-24-70mm-f2-8-za-ssm-ii-lens/

      Look at this way — Sony just offers a greater variety of options so support the different needs of photographers. Sony offers a full-sized system (A-Mount) and a more compact system (E-Mount). All the full-sized system lenses (A-Mount) work on the compact system (E-mount), but they are rapidly building the compact system because it’s so new, whereas A-mount is better optimized for professional work. Professional bodies do not turnover as quickly, hence the longer time span between body updates.

        1. Yes, and an E-mount 35mm F1.4 is shipping in 2015.

          Sony has two systems they are supporting: a compact system and a full sized system.

          Nikon and Canon also have two systems interchangeable lens camera systems, but they are just way farther behind on mirrorless ILC development vs. Sony.

  2. Every month I keep reading about Canikon releasing new lenses and bodies for the DSLR system…
    While all Sony offers now is mirrorless for the statue-shooting club and pathetic claims about “compatibility with adapters”.
    Canon will soon release 5D4, while Sony STILL has NOTHING to compare with 5D3.
    Nikon beat Sony to the ground with D750 using Sony’s own sensor.
    SONY WAKE UP!

      1. Maybe it is, but what are we supposed to do in the meantime??
        Sony should have never killed off A-Mount before there is a viable alternative in mirrorless

        1. Quit spreading false information dude.

          Sony stated multiple times in the past 4 months that A-mount development is continuing. Then, along with the release of the A7II, Sony announced the release of three more updated A-mount lenses:
          70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G SMM II
          Zeiss 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM II
          Zeiss 16-35mm F2.8 ZA SSM II

          Like all the other Sony A-mount lens updates (300mm F2.8 G SSM II, 70-200mm F2.8 G SSM II, 70-400 F4-5.6 G II SSM) and even their most recent new A-mount lenses (500mm F4 G SSM & Zeiss 50mm F1.4 ZA SSM), all the new A-mount glass has a newly designed, faster SSM motor and weather sealing. This is because future customers buying into A-mount (and even other full-sized DSLR systems) will mostly consist of professional sports photographers. Sony is blatantly revamping A-mount equipment and engineering new equipment to support that need: speed, AF-precision, sharpness & weather resistance.

          The A77II was only the beginning. New A-mount lenses and cameras are coming soon!
