ehem, sigma selected lens ONLY. not all ler, those over 10 years old lens(tech wise) not offered ler. also if the lens is not in the affected list, but some magic troll cause the issue, they will still charge u (and they have to specific order that unaffected list lens chip)

then its not their fault now it is? Simple.

If its due to their product, they fix it FOC. If its not, they charge. Business is that way. Takkan everything do FOC.. if like that lingkup la dunia.

the magic troll also not sony fault >.< not like sony has magic troll factory

nice picture...
love it...

you are wrong at the "if its not their fault" part, but right at "business is that way."

the affected lens but not in the compensate list, they dont offer the compensate. so it's still their fault, but business is liek that, everything FOC, die lor


ohya, unit under warranty but not in "compensate list" also can get free mod, like CJ's sigma which carry special 3 years warranty

Agnes ish hot lol.

Now in movies lol

ieR, seriously i wasnt.. coz i myself want to know if that is the case or the other... hence, asking for a quote reference..

william: that wasnt the case. so, there arent SOS. even in some other forum ppl complain bout it(pointing at that issue), that is not the case, because the guy in other forum said the wrong thing/info the in first place. that is how speculation works.

its just mis aligned chip contact, my friend 70300G also like that. send back calibrate back also same, 2nd time send in with body to calibrate, come back fine.

Newbie: oh u need to send in with the camera body if u send to calibrate. it will calibrate base on ur camera body

ieR:

which mean.. both the body and lens also need to calibrate?
what if after calibrated the body affecting other lenses?

or calibrated lens having prob with other body?

8tvt, we on diff topic.

the sigma lens capability issue was the CHIP itself isnt supported.

the lens newbie facing was the contact issue. a general issue which can happen to any lens. usually they calibrate the lens base on the body, sigma wont dare to touch the body. if rosak, who pay leh. even sony also rather re align the lens.

and yes, it might cause other body unable to detect. it MIGHT. or MIGHT NOT. so sometimes is just minor 0.5mm off, so using in on other body might not affect because the 0.5mm is nothing to others. MIGHT only la.

chill man. lens and camera technology will always continue advancing. if everyone keeps demanding about backwards-compatibility, then all tech companies can close shop. imagine asking Intel to make latest Sandy bridge mobo to be backwards-compatible with Pentium 4 or AGP gfx card.

we have to get on with the times. If u can't afford to keep up with the tech, then stick with what you currently have. no point moaning about not being able to use 50 yrs old SLR lens on latest DSLR body.

fyi, all latest 3rd party lenses (e.g. Sigma, Tamron, etc.) are compatible with the new DSLT cameras. How I know? See my sig. if ur lens mount chip can be "updated" (like some of Sigma's lenses) to be compatible with the latest cameras, then go get it done. if not, just live with it.

cheers.

i once sent my sigma for servicing, n i did ask the technician about the cases with sigma lens-sony body, n tat guy said is not re-chipping, but merely realigning the mounting...

n of cos u need to leave ur cam there (as for my case, as they dun have sony cam)...

A Pair of Shoe Beside Swimming Pool.

no people entertain me at all..lol...studio zaloon quote me rm790 for it...exp?..worth getting?..any lower?

tqtq..

ahpingko : You've already made up your mind. Just that you want some other people to agree with you.

You've already eliminated the 28mm so left 30mm and 35mm.

You've already said having macro is nice so the only choice left is the 30mm macro lens lor...

shootKK: +1 that also the reason i didnt answer him... hahahahahaa

are all fisheye lenses MF? The samyang 8mm is MF right?
