Q: QuestionDoes anyone know if Best Buy will restock this item?

Asked 7 years ago by J.

• A:Answer I was told yesterday, after numerous inquiries that no stores in CT, MA or NY had yet received units. Today, I saw "sold out" online. Again, after finally reaching an actual person in customer service today, they offered some polite doublespeak, and finally admitted that a release on 11/5/18, did not necessarily translate into availability to retail purchasers as yet. Interesting, especially as the West Hartford store claimed that the number of units to be received, well exceeded any preorders for that location. An underwhelming effort and communication thus far from corporate (at least the actual retail store, they tried). I hope the product is worth the effort.

Q: QuestionDoes the camera go into aps-c mode when using this lens?

Asked 4 years ago by Rane.

• A:Answer Yes, it does on my A7R ii and on my A7s iii, but on the A7s iii it won't record video in 4k with the aps-c lenses, because the A7s iii sensor is too small to record in 4k with a crop lens.
