And the same with a M240 with lens detection off.Ashwin
Can you show us the same shot with the a7? That would be important for me. Thanks.

And the same with a M240 with lens detection off.Ashwin

Could be a big deal if you take the picture at 800 iso.Is this vignetting 'really' such a big deal? With a 6X polariser on my Nocti on M9/MM I get the same vignetting - most of it to do with the fact that shooting wide open in daylight makes it compulsory to use a ND filter ...
takes me all of 2 seconds to correct for this in LR or Aperture...am I missing something here??
Cheers
Pete
Please help me here...Why would I be using 800 ISO and a 6X ND filter???Could be a big deal if you take the picture at 800 iso.
To recover the two stops of vignetting, this implies you accept to go to 3200 iso for the borders and corners
I was just answering to the very first part of your post :Please help me here...Why would I be using 800 ISO and a 6X ND filter???
You should try some of those filters and some lenses to understand that. Don't go be any hearsay. Nowadays, a lot of it is down right ridiculous.Apart of that, i have never had sort of vignetting with ND or Pola filters.
Whoa! I almost took the bait.....just looked at the B&S and realized I saved some money:toocool:"Guy, I'm sure you'll have the camera in your hands for a while and be quite sure before you make such a jump."
Anyone want to start a poll? How many weeks, days, hours, etc.
I don't think Ashwin said he took this with 6stop ND. The last couple of posts seem out of context unless I'm missing something.Please help me here...Why would I be using 800 ISO and a 6X ND filter???
It is a great idea in principle but will not work.What would be nice for us newbie Sony A7r users is a simple spreadsheet that tells us which lenses are OK for use on the A7/A7r cameras. Maybe collate the information on the legacy glass that's out there and let us know what to avoid, what's middling, what's excellent.
A sticky post here would be marvellous.
I don't know, what do you think?
K-H, When it comes to leica lenses, it seems like a sticky issue. When a Canon FD 24mm lens bought for less than a price of a Leica lens cap and images shown (brilliant ones, I might add), there is no issue. So, I am for non Leica lenses as I see there will be less controversy. Hope, I make myself clear.Thanks Vivek. It still would be useful to have such a table but with critical objective comments.
For example I just tried out my Rigid Summicron from 1956 or 1957 on the A7R. I would avoid shooting at f/2 as it shows quite a bit of vignetting for that aperture. All others seem fine and I didn't see any corner smearing.
I can't argue as I don't have enough information, so I'll bow to your wiser judgement.It is a great idea in principle but will not work.
Look at this thread where Ashwin is saying that the 50/1.4 Asph plus A7R is horrible. What is your experience? Raymond Chuck has posted fantastic shots at infinity with a 50/1.4 pre-asph plus the A7R. There is quite a bit prejudiced evaluations at the moment, which in my opinion will become irrelevant in the coming days and weeks. After that, perhaps a collation would be significant.
Also, one big factor is sample variation with Leica lenses. They are there and there are less than optimal samples traded around.
That's a great idea, can we have a volunteer step forward...shuffle, shuffle, shuffle....2000 people stepping backwards....

The little big Sony's 'faults' with certain M lenses shot wide open for me are tiny compared to its strengths. I think as a body only camera - it is the best value ever delivered by any maker ( so far)Yeah, no 6 stop ND filter. The is not only vignetting, but also color shifts within the vignette...the fix in LR is not so simple...trust me, I have tried, and the easiest reliable way is Adobe's flat field plug in.....there are some ways to use LR's GND filter and adjust temperature and saturation, but after a while, I tire of that sort of editing....
Lee, there is a thread on this already, and the information is nice and concise so far.What would be nice for us newbie Sony A7r users is a simple spreadsheet that tells us which lenses are OK for use on the A7/A7r cameras.
