I'm debating between a Metz 48 and a Sony HVL-56AM.

Any experiences and recommendations appreciated.

Thanks.

I know there have been other posts on this but wondered if any of you had recent updates.

The Sigma looks good...except for the question of Sigma lens to lens reliability. Some are perfect, others flawed.

The Sony is lighter, more expensive, mixed reports on quality, but key problems correctable via DxO.

I'd love to hear from recent users re your recommendations.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to inform all of you in the UK, Jessops now has the 70-300 G SSM in stock. It's still in limited supply, but the price is good at £579.99.

Cheers
Andrew

P.S: No flaming of the retailer (or any retailer for that matter) on these forums ;-)

Does anybody know how soon the new Ff a900 come to the market.
I am saving all of my money for this camera.
