Sorry, may sharing the price? what does it come with...
Search the Sony Website, qoute 1699 for 2 lens, 18-50, 55-210
but i am more interested in getting my hands on the 18-200 and the 50F18... wonder if its possible to swap the lens with topup.

Hi,

Am I right to say that there is no need for me to upgrade the firmware to 1.01 if I am using my Nex 6 with the SEL16-50 PZ kit lens only ?

Thanks !

Yes. But why not?

 

[ageha]

Yes. But why not?

Because it's faster to ask the question here instead of updating the firmware?

Not really leh. My response came 2hrs after he asked. He could have updated at least 5 times...

Anyone encountered this problem yet?

NEX-6 lens blackout/reset bug: Sony NEX Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

Just realized that this was the reason why sometimes the lens seems to go bonkers, zooming in/out, trying to focus without success, and occasionally hanging the camera, requiring the batt to be removed and replaced back to recover.

It is easily reproducible by twisting the lens near the mount point, looks like the electrical contacts are quite flimsy and when this happens it shows F-- aperture.

I experienced this with my 24mm lens. Did not have any issue while using the Sigma 30mm or the kit lens though. Shall go read the thread you posted and investigate

Never had the said problem leh... loving my 6 to bits..

Update. I just tried it with my Sigma 30mm and I'm able to reproduce the problem repeatedly. It's to the point of unusable. Will be sending it down for servicing and see what Sony can do.
