This lens was made by Sigma for Canon cameras only. I do not think it will be compatible with Sony products.

I just upgraded to the A99 from my A65 (keeping both, and some of my prime lenses that will work on the A99 also). If you shoot a lot of low light and portrait photography (I do) or serious professional work full frame is a big improvement for noise and a better sensor. If you shoot a lot of daylight subjects and sports type photography, and don't want to carry around a much heavier (and slower) camera, or invest in a group of new lenses (the 24-70 Zeiss zoom cost as much as the camera body) you might want to look at the A77II. FYI a lot of the older Minolta lenses are compatible with the A99 and can be had for much cheaper than the full frame Sony lenses.

55-200 Sony a mount lens will Not fit on Sony a7 without purchasing Sony adapter. Costs $358. From amazon. However this is an incredibly sharp lens. One of my favorites.

Hello. The Sony Alpha cameras are A mounts. I regularly use this lens on both my a77 and a77II. It works very well!

Sorry, I shoot Canon gear. I Don't know a thing about Sony or Alpha mounts. It's a great lens though.

I really dont know, and it does not matter, because its a quality camera of very solid build, and charger and battery vere included. Another reason was that all my wonderful Minolta AF lenses fits the A-Mount. I bought D. Bushs book about A850 later, and I rekomend that one too. Good Luck!

Yeah the t-mount should work ok. This lens has no electronic capabilities with it though so you wont have anything like AF, its all gonna be manual. In fact the camera will not take good photos with it in auto mode, you need to use manual and adjust for white balance on your own.... focus is touchy, to me its hard to get a good focus but play with it and you can make it work. For the money its about all one could ask for really.

If sony @99 used A-mount lens it will work , and if not it will not work.And if it's not working you can use Extension to use it.That's mean yes it's working with Extension .

It works with Sony A7, but not well. In the TTL mode, it is severely underpowered with bright background. The Auto mode seems to work better with bright background. Sony HVL-43M (TTL mode) provide more accurate exposure. I also tried Nikon SB800 in the Auto mode (it mounts directly with no adapter). It seems to work as good as Metz and Sony in the Auto mode. Quantum Trio and QFlash T5d-R for Nikon in the Auto mode and manual mode, however, provide the best exposure. Sony & Metz flashes sync at 1/250 sec no problem. But Nikon and Quantum flashes cannot sync at 1/250. It has to be 1/200 or slower. It works with Sony A7, but not well. In the TTL mode, it is severely underpowered with bright background.

It works on the a99 and it works very, very well. I know of a pro who recommends this.

You'd have to get an adapter. For some reason, Sony is the only camera manufacturer in the world that decided to create a different hot shoe mount. Very annoying for Sony users. They basically made it where you have to use a Sony flash... unless you're using it off camera, in which case you can use any flash.

Works great as slave or on-camera flash with my A65. "The A99's biggest hardware change from previous SLT models is the incorporation of a hotshoe that's compatible with the ISO standard allowing the welcome use of third party accessories. It still features a series of proprietary connector pins along its front edge, allowing use with Sony's flashguns and various accessories". I have not used an A99, but based on that article I would guess you would be fine.

Cornel,I would check Sony's website for compatibility issues. If you can't find anything on-line, maybe contact customer support. I know this light is designed to be used with cameras other than their camcorders but I don't have one and have no idea if this light is compatible. I would venture a guess that it would fit in the hot shoe, but whether the features would work with the camera might be an issue. The owner's manual gave no clues about using it with the A7.Rick

The a99 comes with an adapter so you can use the old Minolta mount with this, but I doubt it will allow TTL or HSS functions -the price would be much higher like the Canon edition.

This lens is available with a Sony mount. It can only be used on a APS-C sensor camera (the A-77 has an APS-c sensor)

I am not really sure! I had set my settings on automatic and the flash only worked when it was needed. I am sure there must be a way to keep it on, but I really don't have the answer for you. You may be able to download the manuel for it from the sony website. Worth a try.

You bet. I have a pair of them and it works fine. I find it best to tighten the bottom thumb screw when the camera is at a 45 degree angle and then you can move the camera to either vertical position or horizontal position. I have a SB-800 flash that sits on top of the frame with a stretch spring cable connecting it to the top of the camera. That's the main purpose of the frame: to locate the flash above the camera. The other advantage is that it makes the carrying of the camera easy. This is a jewel.
