Hello,

 

Following this news about the SEL35F28Z firmware update 02 issue, there is still no official press release outside of US (link) to confirm that Sony will support affected lenses in the rest of the World.

 

I just bought a SEL35F28Z on Amazon France (I'm in France) and when receiving it, I couldn't update it because of this bug. I sent it immediately to the Sony Center in France explaining the problem and linking the US information, and they sent it back to me repaired (upgraded to 02).

 

No questions, no further checks, free support, so I guess they are aware of the problem and take it in charge as said.

 

Just to inform others ;)

Had a similar problem updating the FE 4/70-200 on an A7II, after numerous attempts of following the on computer instructions to 'follow the instructions on the camera' which just said 'follow the instructions on the computer'. Such Joy!

 

Long story short, I was lucky to have a second body, an A7r, where the update went on without a hitch.

 

So, go beg, borrow or steal a second body...

We're not talking the same problem. Sony won't help anyone freely having problem upgrading it's lens. In such case, try with another USB cable, computer or A7 body like you did. This SEL35F28Z is an official bug that's why it's covered by support ;)

      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.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
