correct me if i am incorrect!!!
some cheap enter-class DSCL bodies havnt motor,that means if you use some no-motor lens ,you cant auto focusing at all.

example, D5000+ AF lens ,you cant auto focusing

Market share doesn't come overnight. Canon and Nikon have been in the SLR industry for ages, so of course they are going to have a large market share. Sony is still incredibly new (6 years now?). Look at how fast their lineup is expending, technology is expanding, and how many third party companies are making products for the Sony lens and flash mounts. Judging a company purely on market share is a very one-dimensional judgement.

Sincerely,
Content Sony shooter

PS: Canon and Nikon users can suck our big fat Carl Zeiss 135mm f/1.8

I only win because I haven't had to buy the adapter yet

Once I go wireless with the strobes I'll probably get the Paul C Buff triggers due to price and the fact that I know they can be triggered from the sync port.

Back on topic... I do actually want to check out the ***!
