1. Does your new camera use the same battery as your present camera - if so, perhaps B&H could ship the camera without battery...

2. Can you order and receive batteries form a Chinese source such as in H.K.? If yes - perhaps B&H could ship the camera without...

Usually B&H are good. But they are messing up on me this time big time.

I have suggested removing the battery and their expert says they can't open the box to remove it.

When I emailed to a higher up manager they never replied.

They are still sending me quotas and instruction on how to purchase a product they won't ship to me.

When they mess up they really mess up.

It's as if I'd said nothing ...

Is there an attachment that would let me use my tamron on a Canon?

Probably ($50), B&H: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...ount_dslr.html

I believe that adapter has glass (a lens) which may or may not effect image quality. I doubt the small difference (0.5mm) in flange to sensor distance between a Canon EF and a Sony A is enough for a no-glass adapter. A straight through adapter should be possible for the Sony A to Canon EF-M mount if you care for a mirrorless Canon.

There is a used A58 (PHP 25000) for sale on QLX: https://www.olx.ph/all-results?q=sony+a58

KEH has a used Sony A6000 in Ex condition: ($418): https://www.keh.com/shop/sony-a6000-...-p-674464.html , but you will need an adapter from Sony A to Sony E. Here is a link to a web site with lots of information on adapters for Sony E mount cameras. Those may open up a new world of potential lenses (used or new) for a Sony E mount camera. Sony makes (or made) a couple of A to E adapters, the LA-EA4 and the LA-EA3. Here is link to a video to learn the difference between them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvdQkiMqz5s
Both Sony A-to-E adapters are available from B&H, the LA-EA4 ($300): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...ount_lens.html and the LA-EA3 ($150): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...ount_lens.html



KEH may be willing to remove the battery if it causes trouble with shipping.
