Was showing off my NEX-F3 to my dad, who's eyeing the F5. So excited to find that there're E-mount adapters for good ol' Minolta lenses!

how does it compare to the 5n? the f3 is only a few hundred bucks less than the 5n rite?

Yeah, they are pretty comparable. When i bought it i thought if they cost pretty much the same, why not go for the newer model, but i guess the argument could go the other way since the 5N is several times better at continuous shooting. I don't have the 5N, so can't compare personal experience XD

I understand that sony did offer top up few hundred bucks for F3 package will get the SEL50F18, did you know the offer can grab it?

I'm not aware of that, sorry. I got mine from Canada's SonyStyle website days after it was announced. Not a lot of options then.

Define affordable? tongue.gif
To some, fake Crumpler is the max they can go while others might not bat an eyelid to splurge on Billingham or Artisan Artist bags....
Easier if you specify your budget and what other accessory/lenses you want to fit into the bag....

Having said that, for my set-up which consist of NEX7, 18-200, 50 OSS and Sigma 19mm, I used Crumpler 5MDH and still have some space for handphone, keys, spare batteries, cigarette box, etc...

Oh wow, i checked out Billingham & Artisan&Artist. At that price range my eyelids would be fluttering constantly biggrin.gif I'd say my budget would be $40 USD and below, that can carry a NEX + a 55-200, or even just the NEX itself. Can i assume that any bag with adequate padding would work as a camera bag? On a side note, a friend recommended eBay and i found some crazy cheap bags from Chinese suppliers but am rather wary of their quality... :/

Currently using this all-weather shoulder bag: http://products.lowepro.com/product/Apex-120-AW,1902,20.htm
Can fit NEX-5 + Sigma 19, plus Sony 18-200, with ample space for passport, wallet, other useful little things. Sling around shoulder, very secure.

Looks good, thanks!
