Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Short report on the Canon TSE 24/3.5 L II with Metabones Smart Adaptor III:
This lens with adaptor is of course a beast on the A7R. Though big and quite heavy it still fits nice in my "handbag" style, small bag. Packed it together with the Leica Summicron M 90/2.0 and got a 90/24 combination.
I used the TSE only handheld with grid and level in the EVF, this worked surprisingly well. Shifts are less problematic than tilts for these a tripod is certainly necessary. Shifts with the cam in level work good handheld.
I have no problems with the Metabones.
The first one is part of the facade of the "Spar und Bauverein", Mannheim. The "Savings and Building Cooperative", founded 1895 is a social cooperative to provide affordable living space to their members. 2011 this house was build with the cooperative's offices in the ground floor and apartments in the rest.
When i looked at that photo, not on location but on my screen and the print i had made, the famous Jazz Classic "Take Five" from Dave Brubeck came to my mind.
The pic shows 5/4th and brings to symmetry 5 and 4, uneven and even as Brubeck's song with its suggestive 5/4th rhythm.
"5/4"
TSE 24/3.5 II, medium shift up, no perspective control in PP
The second photo shows the facade of the "Institut für deutsche Sprache", Mannheim - "Institute for German Language" the famous "Duden Press".
The Duden, well known by every German, is the reference of orthography.
"Duden"
TSE 24/3.5 II, full shift up, no correction in post
