Trading Sony A-100 for Sony NEX
Feb 2, 2012 11:51:55 #
I have some great lenses for the A-100; is there an adapter for the new NEX?
Another question: anyone know how to set the price for the carefully used A-100, with (or without) Sony's 18-70 telephoto lens and a Sigma 10-20 MM Wide Angle . Finally, where have you listed used cameras and had good results?
Thank you one and all!

I have a NEX-5 and am waiting for the NEX-7 to come to market (delayed because of Thai flooding). My understanding is that there will be a new adapter available for alpha lenses which will be superior to the old adapter. I never bought the old adapter because of poor reviews regarding auto-focus speed.
More info see: http://www.dpreview.com/news/2011/8/24/sonynex7overview
Re pricing: go to eBay and look at the recent completed listings for your camera. You'll get a feel for what they are going for on the secondary market.
Good luck :thumbup:

Bob, you can find two different Alpha adapters here:
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=8198552921644794503&N=4294947266&catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&accessory=true
One costs $200 and another does phase detection and costs $400.

Robert, I have the A100 and an A900. A while back I was ready to buy the NEX-7 but because of the flooding delayed my purchase for so long, I changed my mind. There are reliable rumors that late this year Sony will be introducing and SELLING many newer cameras, including a Hybrid full frame/NEX body that will accept both Alpha and E-mount lenses. This would be so cool! :thumbup: I think it means we will be able to use almost any manufactures lens on that body and get the advantage the color contrast focusing aid. I own a lot of full frame glass so I'm holding off to see what happens this fall. I'm expecting big game-changing things.
If the rumors are true (I believe they are) we would not need an adapter, except for non-Sony lenses.

Wonderful to hear, Robert. This puts my decision off for awhile, but worth it. From your lips to God's ears, as they say!
BTW, thanks to everyone for their insites. This is a fantastic service for anyone into photography.
