just turn the APS-C Crop to Auto, the FF camera will crop and use only the center part of the image.

Ya indeed, it's REALLY WEIRD distortion. I don't mind the vignetting though.

how much are you planning to sell it?

Yes, unless... it is an APS-C zoom lens.

Some APS-C zoom lenses can, without removing the rear baffle, work on full-frame, when zoomed to a certain focal length onwards.

The Sony 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 DT for A-mount for example, would work on full-frame when zoomed to around 22mm - quite a nice wide bonus! Same for the Sony 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 DT for A-mount, working at 14mm onwards.

I don't remember exactly for the 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DT but if I remember correctly, it worked on full-frame from 90mm onwards. Not all zoom lenses can be zoomed to work on full-frame though!

Other nice benefits of using APS-C lenses are the usually closer focusing distance, smaller size of lenses and lighter weight. The Sigma 19/30/60mm F2.8 DN series also works great when their rear baffles are removed - but you should Google to see those images to see if you're okay with the vignetting and softness on the side.

Now I only realize the A5100 is a new camera announced by Sony.

sample output from Sony A6000 & SEL1670Z

Just a quick noob question, what lens filter size I need to buy?

My A3500 came with E 18-50mm lense. I check on the lense the diameter which shown by google as below


Mine is 55mm. Do I need to buy 55mm filter?

Thank you in advanced bro.

yes. 55mm diameter required 55mm size filter

Vincentlee, do try to attach pics with max 1024px on the long edge.

You need a lens pen and a blower instead of filter.

OMG! look at the details in the girl contact lens!

How near you shoot at her?

Too sharp with details for comfort ><, just my 2 cents

That's what PP is for. Though I personally prefer a lens that is a touch less sharp for portraiture myself.

But yeah... that SEL1670Z is tack sharp, especially considering it's a zoom.

Hi all, anyone wanna let go their Nex 6 to give way to a6k or a7? hehe

PM me if u wanna let go ur nex 6

not only the eyes are tack sharp...other parts also tack sharp wei...

Erm so you suggest me to user lens pen and blower? I afraid that I need a filter for 2 reason, to protect my lense at the same time UV lense filter for better shot on shiny day.

I try to look around this forum and section since I am new in this area.
Need to buy external battery charger instead of using direct adapter with usb direct charge into camera.
I need the external flash thinggy is there any after market model to be use with my A3500? same goes to lense.

Thank you in advanced.
