Re: Fun with the A7/7R
I have to check out the shot gun shutter. It does not startle me (like NEX-5) and when the EVF is used, it is manageable.
Sony A7R, APO Componon 40/2.8, f/2.8, ISO400, 1/15s, very mixed lighting

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
I could not last >30 mins outside though it was only +6 C and not really freezing.
A couple of snaps. Very poor lighting and very mixed as well.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Here is my reason (though there is actually >100 lenses that I can mount on the A7R) for going with the pen F 60/1.5 and the APO Componon 40/2.8 (mounted for Leica screw).
The pen F 60/1.5 looks like it is made for the A7R. Handling is just superb. It covers the frame without hiccups. The 40/2.8 Componon is really great, I have shot with this on film several years ago and I am delighted that I can use it on a FF digital. Almost a pancake.
So, here is the story behind the delay- I thought I had the LR 5.3RC but did not. My winzip had expired... soo...
Still, I am not so sure about the RAW converter. It is waay better than the Sony IDC (just spits out junk) though. All the images (NR off in the camera) were put through LR and resized in PS with very gentle Nik sharpening.
The shot gun shutter is very loud and gets everyone's attention. I think I will be better off with the grip. As is, at least one of my fingers is not covering the camera. This is much much better than the NEX' where only 2 or 3 fingers touch the cam.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
The best candidate NEX prime, the 50/1.8 OSS will not do. The good news is that a dud like the 30/3.5 Macro (though it will not cover the FF) focuses very fast. It is really shocking!
Bad news John.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
>>That Lens Compensation tool, soon to be released for the A7(r) too, looks very promising.
Quote:
This app lets users manually select correction values for lens peripheral shading, chromatic aberration and distortion. By saving the correction values as a lens profile, the same correction can be applied while shooting anytime.
・ Peripheral Shading: Corrects brightness and the intensity of reds and blues around the edges of images
・ Chromatic Aberration: Corrects red and blue lateral aberration
・ Distortion: Corrects barrel and pincushion distortion
I wonder if your Android device, or the camera can manage a quantity of profiles for different lenses so you're able to switch between them fairly easily?
Obviously if the lens is not chipped/electronic, they'd have to be changed manually.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
I did (not many snaps though). I will try to add a few more soon. Just for you, Mikal, I really tried to get some non static shots.
Will do, Sean. OM 50/1.8, 50/1.2, 85/2, 24/2.8, 28/3.5, 50/3.5 Macro. I have to buy some C/Y lenses though.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
The Minolta M-Rokkor 28/2.8 appears to be a huge surprise with no apparent problems.
I will posts some samples (no SEM21) but the 20/5.6 Russar has huge color shifts but looks sharp. The W-Nikkor-C 2.5cm f/4 also is very sharp but with some color shift. These are extreme examples of "symmetric" lenses with very short back focus.

Unfortunately, this is a jpg only app. Very limited scope but great for direct uploads using WiFi/NFC.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Luckily, Tim, the eye sight is still OK and the EVF makes the focusing very very easy.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Will do, Guy.
Here is how the pen F 60/1.5 looks like on the 7R. (The perverse combo on the left is a NEX-C3 and a Wild-Heerbrugg Reconar 9.8cm f/1 lens in a focus mount. Though it is a medium format lens, the A7R (or an A7) will have to do.)

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Apparently many stores in USA received large shipments of A7/r.
Is it? I noticed in the settings on the website that there was an image quality setting between JPEG quality size and the theres a RAW size selection it appeared. I could be wrong and maybe that's faulty information on the site.
