Almost hidden within a post on Sonyalpharumors was the snippet that the A77 and 16-50mm f2.8 are weathersealed, one of the things on my personal wishlist.
This leaves the 70-200mm f2.8 in the difficult position of being a non-weathersealed ‘pro’ lens in a developing weather sealed system – surely Sony must be looking to put this right soon? I predict that this lens will get weather sealing sooner rather than later.

Dear David,
thanks for all your effort to get the latest news on the SONY A77
!
I do down a SONY A700 and I am very interested in its successor!
Stay sharp & tuned
B. regards,
Frans
