Re: Fun with the A7/7R
There are wide angle alternatives if you like manual focussing
Thank you Eeraj!

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Michiel...your pictures are very great & tempting, the only problem is usd 700 price tag (this one is the cheapest) for the distagon 18/4. My god....the price of legacy manual lens is getting higher and higher. Blame the a7rThank you Eeraj!

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Did not realise the prices went up that high, bought mine for less then half the price years ago. Even the Olympus OM 21/3.5 is going to € 300 these days.

re: Fun With Sony _____
Went to the local zoo, Safari Wild Animal Park, with my A7 and the 55mm. The focal range of the 55mm is a bit short for taking pictures at the zoo, so I did a lot of cropping. Your C&C are welcome

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
I would love to visit the home they have made inside. Are there some more windows on the other sides ?
PS : I own the TSE 24/3.5 but the first version, did you own the first version before the second version ? if yes, how do they compare ? I know that you can now put the tilt and shift in the same dimension, which I can't, but what about IQ, are the corners much weaker than in the new version ?
Great picture ! a Bernd and Hilla Becher in color !

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Thanks,
no i did not own the first TSE, from reviews i have read the II is supposed to be much better than the first version.
With the Metabones Smart II adapter the lens works perfect for me on the A7r.
Unfortunately i had never used it that much on my 5DMKII : The combination was just to big and bulky for me. Now, though not really small with the A7, i can take the TSE with me in a smallish bag with 2 other lenses with no problems. BTW used as a regular 24 (with no tilt or shift) it is just perfect.
The home in the tower is great!
The tower was converted by two architects that live and work there, i have seen the inside published in a local newspaper when they opened their office.
There where no regular windows allowed in the body of the tower (they found a lot of surprising solutions for that problem). The top story with 360 degree windows is just spectacular.
They could be happy, to be allowed to build the elevator to the outside of the tower...

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Regards a prior comment:
When I go on a photo session, I tend to have just camera and one or two lenses with me. I only very rarely switch lenses ... I pick what I'm in the mood to work with when I pack the bag and might switch to the alternate, but that's about it. Particularly when I'm traveling, I only rarely get to the same location more than once per trip so I might as well capture it with the lens that I want for the finish exposure, and carry that.
I can go for weeks and even months with just one lens on the camera. And 80% of all exposures at the same lens opening too. It's just the way it works for me.

That's just delightful, Tim. Really like it.One from a very long dog walk today...
Regards a prior comment:
The whole zoom vs prime thing seems to be a quite personal predilection. I've never gotten comfortable with zoom, particularly mid-range zooms, I guess because when I work with a lens for a while, I begin to see the world in terms of its FoV limitations, and that translates directly into what I make exposures of. With zooms this become significantly more complex unless I simplify and just use one or another focal length setting all the time ... and then why would I carry the additional weight and deal with the slower speed?

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Thanks for the comments chaps, i like doing quite low key, formal landscapes and of course the joy of the camera/lens combo I used is that I can make a 40" print if I like !
@ Godfrey, I totally get that approach. I'm very anal about framing and don't like to crop so I find zooms really useful, as long as they are good enough!

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Concerning the TSE lens : I don't take it out so often, although using the TSE lenses was the main reason why I decided to update the 5DI to the 6D.
Thanks for all these infos, I appreciate. Mm.. I've got to make some research on this water tower transformation. I'm sure it has been published in some architecture review. I have already seen churches and railways station transformed in homes, but not yet a water tower.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
This wasn't really fun...but...putting these images in the "fun" thread gives them a chance of being seen...all four images (quite sharp, by the way) showing a ring of light like the water mark left by a wet glass on a table top. Adapter used was a Fotodiox...with the A7. Image #4 (lizard) was severely cropped on the right side...but the flare (ghosting?) can be seen on the left
I have a lovely set of Leica R lenses...these were all taken with the 180/4 Elmar R...the other R lenses exhibit the same rings as the 180 used with this adapter. I switched to the Metabones R to NEX adapter and rings are no longer seen.
I'll upload a set with the 180 using the Metabones adapter later.
