I dont mind to satsify the MP as 24 MP only take effective on RAW file on a65

According to snapshot.com

The evf for a57 at .72x but a65 at .71x, smaller magnifite better?

a guy who owns a 18250, u think he will use manual iso? tongue.gif usually are lazy user that uses auto most of the time  sweat.gif

Jimlim;
its call TTL support. and no it wont work, u think as easy as put nikon trigger on canon ttl will work?, answer is still NO, another thing to take note is that the circuit on the nikon hotshoe and canon hotshoe are totally different, what more to say Sony's circuit? and when u trigger more then 1 flash, the TTL signal will send to all flash to fire the "same power", hence the amount of directional light will be very unbalance anyway.

even u open up that adapter (shown on ur pic) u will only see 2 cable connection to snyc port and to both hotshoe, and that cable is just signal "fire" (close circuit in enginnering term) only.
A57... no regret. there is a lot new feature over the old A65.

i tested both....


Added on October 22, 2012, 5:37 pmi owned like over 15 unit of that adapter and 5 of the reverse... all for my flash workshop uses. most are modified for diff uses. now mostly use triggers (phottix statos II)... easier to control and 'stronger' mounts grip.

A57 provide AE Lock function, I like the function so much, prefer have AEL button....

Will it worth go for SAL18135 or just stick to kit lens? appreciate that your advise biggrin.gif

chihuahua: dont rush, save up a little more to 3k, grab 57+18135,

another story i wanted to tell.... is, during the days of 1855 (without 18135 choice), everyone has no choice but grab the 1855.... after 6 month of using, they somehow outgrowth the 1855, and now seeking new lens to pay with, many will look for 50prime for bokehlicious, or a tele lens for skodeng skodeng.... then another 3 month, they realizes that, these 50mm or tele lens, are far sharper then 1855~ the depth of details... then most will ask the next question, "which lens is best to replace my kit lens?" ask anyone here, most people asked this question before.... that time, we only have 2 best option, 1680Z, or the 16105 for range... now with 18135, it definitely will become the top range kitlens replacement.

Had been testing around the a57 lately, but never touched the a37. And why I didn't see the EVF colour tearing as I have seen some complaints on web? Is it serious problem?

I don't think a57 with sal18135 lens can satisfy my macro photography, so should I get the raynox-dcr 250 or theres other cheap&good solutions?

since this guy got sal18135  already, then no need tele, just get raynox tongue.gif.. (not sure if raynox can support those lens diameter)
If raynox not  flex.gif  enough then get tamron sp 90  rclxms.gif

sal18135 + raynox vs sp90, which one better o?
