My A99 is still very young. Nevertheless, I want to write a review in order to make other courage. I've tried many things in recent years. Towards the end of the "analog time" I had bought myself a A100. Sony actually because I had previously Minolta and wanted to use. More on that later came another A350. The concept is, frankly, not quite work out. So gradually APS-C specific lenses were added yet. Then the whole shebang was too heavy and it went with NEX (5 and 7) on. APS-C DSLR had lost quite a bit of ground. There were simply too few cases where better results would have expected. Even lightning was the NEX-7 no longer any reason. With LA-EA2 also the A-bayonet lenses were developed, and the problem done faster autofocus. Although looks funny but when we went on trips counts weight! The "Great" remained at home. What remained in mind was: "Your lenses can illuminate more field". Although would be hard again and is also too expensive. Nevertheless, I squinted again for a A900 or A850. Then hope came the A99 EXPENSIVE remained even. Now came an offer from a local dealer A99 + 28-75 F2.8 for 3000 Euros together. I went there and had slammed! The first pictures and I was happy. I haul back larger luggage or please the family mitzutun. Now I have to be parted out this page of the new feeling of the body and what the lens (difficult because a lot of glass, but 2.8 at 75 mm will only times bring a fixed focal length). But even with the old Minolta 100-300 of times the images are again as beautiful as before. The full format brings yet more than you think. My conclusion full frame's worth it. Whether, however, APS-C SLT worth? Not more than about the price (NEX + LA-EA2 is more expensive). The advantage of faster image sequence you need too rarely, if one is not exactly a sports photographer. Would be interesting to see how others see it. The lens can I fully recommend, although is difficult but even at full aperture is an amazing sharpness.
