Re: Fun with the A7/7R

I've ordered the Sony FE 28-70mm f3.5-5.6 OSS pending the availability of anything better. Should arrive tomorrow, so we will see.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

For use on A7 or A7R Quentin? It is a bit dodgy on the R, seems to misfocus quite often though Jono is sure that it is shutter shake. Well sharp on centre when you get it right, has edge softness that changes sides with focal length and aperture and subject distance but you can't always 'stop' yourself out of trouble. Not terrible, sometimes, quite good.

TSE L 24/3.5 II, mid upshift, handheld






Another example of the TSE, to avoid reflection of me in the shop-window i was standing to the left next to the door. Full shift to the right, handheld.
The shops name "Torso" is somehow doubled by the "Reduced" sign.


"Torso-Reduced"

The refrigerator magnet gallery is a place of high honor for any photograph. Have you checked your refrigerator lately?


Sony A7 + Elmarit-R 24mm f/2.8
ISO 250 @ f/4 @ 1/60 second

:)

I was testing the Eye-Fi card yesterday with the Sony A7 in the condo and made this quick snap of the refrigerator magnet gallery. Looking at it later, all those pictures brought back a flood of memories. One of the finer uses of photographs.

Oh yeah, the Eye-Fi card works well with the A7. It even geotags the photos (I've stripped the geotag out of the web display photo).

Regards the A7 ... I think Tom Abrahamsson said it best in some post or another. "... It becomes the lens you've fitted to it..." I see that very clearly with these lovely Leica R lenses and with the Nikkor lenses. Presuming a good enough optical-sensor match, the sensor is good enough that the camera itself steps aside and lets the lens qualities shine through. And these Leica R lenses are seductive—there's a quality to what I see with them that may or may not shine through in small-size web presentation, but is very evident in the originals on my 27" display.

Thanks for looking. Comments always appreciated.

Nice memories! I even recognise some the folks there....
