Here's a little something from "left field" and is big part of our current Sony Alpha history. Sony acquired Konica/Minolta in 2006. Prior to that, the Minolta A9, Dynax 9, Maxxum 9 was Minolta's flagship, professional SLR. Some even regard it as one of the best SLRs ever built! Sony retained the "A" moniker for the name of the mount, calling it "Alpha." Until the modern Sony ILCA-A99MK2 (A99ll) and the Sony SLT A99V, and given that all the Legacy Minolta A-mount lens still fit and produce excellent results on Sony A-mount cameras, it can easily be said that the A-mount is the mother to the modern day Sony cameras and lenses.

Looks great. There's a small group of people who still shoot the Dynax/Alpha 9. There even used to be an SSM upgrade available. So, some People shoot film with the New Sony SSM lenses. It looks great.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
