Indeed, I pay happily 1300 pounds for the 3D effect that has been confirmed in zillions of double blind studies. You have to wait a bit more, the lens will ship in June/July in Europe.

So you can replace all you current NEX lenses that won't do FF.... ?

Your question implies the existence of native full-frame E-mount lenses. :)

N huge they will be on those very wide apertures... AF plus FF, quite a challenge to keep it small...
 

in that case, would a a77+SAL1650 with SSM be faster than a99+SAL50f14 in terms of AF speed? i seldom take pic below f2.8 because of sharpness issues anyway.

From my experience, any aps-c camera with the wonderfully fast 16-50 will focus faster than any camera with the 50mm f/1.4

You have to look a bit deeper, there are more parameters than prime or zoom.

"faster" in what term? AF? A prime lens is usually called a "fast" lens not because of AF, but because of the amount of light they let through thanks to a large aperture.

Macro lenses are prime lenses too, but have slow AF for a good reason.
 

so i will haf better luck with faster AF by choosing a SSM lens than to upgrade to a99 with just a SAL50f14?
 

Hi all,

Not quite sure if this is the right place to post this, but there's a great deal for A99 going on in Amazon!
US$2794 = ~SGD$3740 which is quite a good deal for bundle with flash and vertical grip.

The GST and shipping will hurt though.

Amazon.com: Sony Alpha SLT-A99V Digital Camera, Vertical Grip and Flash Bundle: Camera & Photo

if the shipping cost is still wayyyyy below the street price in Singapore, then get it.

but at your own risk ;)
 

what's the cheapest SSM Full frame lens? So AF speed depends on the lens + the body?

cheapest ssm full frame lens?
hmm..got to be or could be the 24/2 CZ.. that is SSM and full frame.

Of course...If the AF module in your camera is fast but the lens cant catch up.. wont work really well..
If the camera AF system is slow but your lens has SSM...it will work better..but not best...obviously..

So whats best. Get the camera body which has the fastest AF system and pair it with a SSM lens lo. Duh...:bsmilie:
 

Recently just got my A99 repaired due to faulty shutter unit...
Symptom was weak/weird vibration from the auto clean when switching off the cam...
