Manual focusing is fine with me but when on manual, how to take candid shots?    sad.gif

Autofocusing is very important. Imagine if there are moment you see a pretty gal with good post... But the bus with sleepy driver behind is going to hit the gal in seconds.... We cannot use manual focus... The time just not allow that... sweat.gif

I am lucky to get this rare moment... With autofocusing lenses of course.... sweat.gif

Thanks for your view however in my humble opinion, something is wrong with the picture. The picture is well framed but the color just does not suit my taste compared to the cz135 i saw taken by AhMike.

Sorry I hope my word do not insult you and if anyone else starts again to a brand comparison issue, I do have my ignore button.

Peace.

Try using lower ISO, if the picture turn out brighter, send to service center. Something not right. cool2.gif

hahah..... sorry bro, can't quite remember you as you seldom post biggrin.gif

The term "Lemon" is borrowed from Auto industry. In layman's term, these unit aren't performing as they should. Even with Sony's brand, there are bound to have a few leaked out from their QC.

now petrol price go up, so i suggest la - KNOW what lens you want to molest. then call up the shop ask got stock or not.

get the person's name also, in case you go there no stock you got scapegoat.

after that only you set out.

cos the lack of unit to test, not just A mount la. even for Canon, you go some shops also they just don't have it.

Lemon unit I guess. So far I think in LYN, we've seen another case like yours.

I really hope Sony doesnt start compromising on quality again to cope with the high demand. My friend works in the logistics line n Sony is 1 of their big clients. He said they had to ship so many containers full of defective A100 back to factory last time due to them bumping up the production to deal with increasing demand. Hopefully it's not happening all over again.

If only YL start gettign serious about Sony then we will have tons of toys to molest. Look at the glass display in front oso can pengsan oredi, the sheer amount of used lenses they have is staggering. Hopefully the front display window will be split into 3 sections soon. Right now the front display is split in 2. Half is Nikon, half Canon. Next time 1/3 Nikon, 1/3 Canon, 1/3 Sony then it will be awesome. drool.gif
