Ya. I am also waiting for Canon FF mirrorless with EF mount. If they come out with a new mount, bye bye.

EF mount on Canon FF mirror-less??? I can imagine it will be damn ugly.

EF lenses need a minimum distance to the sensor. it will be like a permanent humongous adapter on the body.

I hope you realise the main idea for different mount adapters is not just mate it to camera body but also to keep the appropriate distance between the lens and sensor.

That's why RF lenses will never work on DSLRs. The flange distance is too much because of the mirror...

MSC - RRP
AP - RRP
SLRR - RRP

i called Sony Wismas for the desk top charger too... no stock... but some shops at Funan and MSC have stock...

lousy Sony SG... i placed my order for accessories and waited since Oct 2013... called, checked, put name again... no stock... check outside shops... can still have chance to get...

oh, n i asked about the FE55/1.8Z... told me NO STOCK! so i go outside shops lo...

After the demand have slowed down, and when they ask you to buy you just them them money NO STOCK

 

[agawads]

Wow... You called Sony Wisma today and they told you FE55 no stocks? They have 20pcs and all sold out?

BTW, I bought my desktop charger from Funan when I bought my A7R. Just saw a set of the desktop charger at Funan too. Can't remember which shop, but it is either Click, SLRR, Sony Funan, or Harvey Norman. Paiseh, brought an overseas friend to shop around and didn't take note of the specific shop.

no prob, bro...

i managed to reserve 1...

and i called Sony Bugis, not Wismas... paiseh... anyways, I have been dealing with Sony Wisma... it's a disappointment... try Bugis... same... i called at 11:00am this morning...

Think if they do have a mirrorless camera, it will have to be a brand new mount but with option of an adapter to fit your existing EF lenses, like what Sony did to retrofit their A-mount lens to A7/R...so LPPL

Winner like they did with EOS M??? :bsmilie:

Wah bro. So bad leh u. Eos M isn't so bad la. Just doesn't meet most of our expectations nia. Haha

I love my EOS M but i will never use it ever again..haha..
The only reason why i still keep it is because well, it was the camera that took photos of my first born...just because during that time, i have sold my 5d3 and the a7r hasn't arrived and all i had with me was the EOS M...so...because of that..i can't bare to sell it...but will i ever use it again? NO WAY!

Saw this at dpreview, photos aren't mine. Just copy and paste url link

tamron 28-75 2.8 vs sony fe 24-70 f4

Of course the fe lens is lighter compared to tamron + adapter by about 300g although size is close
tamron + adapter= 900 fe lens: 1500-1600?
price diff = 600-700
