Hi all,

The RMT-DSLR1 is fully compatible.

However with the new RMT-DSLR2 you can also start/stop the movie recording, whichis not possible with the version 1.

The SAL35mmF1.8 is very good and a perfectmatch for the A57. You can read a lot of reviews on the following site:

Hi cmosse

thanks for the reply, the RMT-DSLR2 really does tick the box but the price seems a bit steap, do you know of any cheaper ones? have you heard about the two i posted above?

Also i'm def looking at the SAL35mmF1.8 the link you posted was great, is there any similar lens with F1.8 about 35mm or below for a good price I've been looking and cant see.

One last thing does the Minolta lens just fint on any Alpha DSLR? and does it only allow manual or auto focus?

cheers
