Overlapping focal lengths = where the focal lengths of both lenses are the same (in this case, 75-200).
Exposure stops take a while to explain, and I'm afraid I'm not very good at it. Typically, F1.4 to F2 ~ 1 stop, F2 to F2.8 ~ 1 stop, 2.8 to 4 ~ 1 stop, and so on, for aperture. When I mean 4 stops, it means the lens can stabilize up till 4 stops. For example, if you shoot at 50mm focal length, you would need to shoot at 1/50 shutter speed or faster to get a non-blurry photo. With 4 stops of OS, you can theoretically shoot at 1/5 shutter speed and still get a sharp photo.
Best to search online on exposure terms. Lots of resources out there.
The EA2 will support the SAL75300 and AF. You will need to go to a shop with a demo unit of the EA2, and find out yourself if it is worth keeping.
EDIT:For some reason I got confused, and thought you were referring to the SAL70300G, whereas you were actually talking about the SAL75300. Apologies. Man, I am so out of it today >.< Keep reading things wrongly. Sorry. In this case, you will get much better image quality with the SEL18200. Find a demo unit, bring a memory card, and feel it for yourself.
thanks for the explanation.
hmm.. then i should test EA2 first and see how.. but i already bought 18-200mm
tpl: The EA2 does support AF for the Sony 75-300mm F4.5-5.6.
ohh... thanks. i already bought 18-200mm. maybe 75-300mm use for zoom-zoom. but u think worth to keep or sell it? or might as well use 18-200 enough?
