Wow, that's a big steal at that price!!!

Are there any special price for the Camera body only? I'm consider to get a spare body!??

Gotten the A16 kit at an unbeatable price! Yup, even cheaper than what's advertised!

At $399, that is a very good price. About $30 off the advertised price.

I think they don't. Chiif Cameras seems to have PK/M adaptor but that one can only be used with lenses have aperture ring. If you want to use DA lens, you need to find adaptor have aperture control ring (PKA/M adaptor) from either Kipon or Novoflex!

Michael, I've returned the FY 10-17 to my friend already. You could refer to this picture of the similar set-up I currently use with my DA15Ltd. The silver ring at the Kipon adaptor is the aperture control ring.

Thanks felix, price seems ok.. now caught in between the A12 28mm and the A16 kit since $399 is such a good buy too.:think: buy limited budget:dunno:

GXR + A16 24-85 is $369 now. I bought the A12 28mm at $529 on 26 September 2013, so the price did not drop at all but the M mount+GXR is $460 but the m mount alone is still $399 and the A16 has dropped from $429 to $369 which is a very very good buy.

I have a question which made have different opinons. Is the VF-2 EVF useful or is it just good to have? I saw the price and am interested to get but not sure is it useful to use with the A12 28mm
