Hi everyone,
I am hoping someone on here may be able to help me out with this query..
I currently have the Sony A7R and use it in conjunction with the Metabones v3 adapter and the Canon 24mm TS-E II. I have a Hejnar L-Bracket (and spacer) for the Metabones V3 and it works really great, taking the weight of the 24mm TS-E II and enabling "portrait" orientation without having to flip the tripod head..
I am now on the hunt for a L-Bracket for the body of the Sony A7R, ideally I would like it to be able to be placed on the camera at all times, not interfere with the Hejnar L-Bracket when it is attached and also allow access to the A7R cable port (so I can use the wired cable release RM-VPR1) when used in the portrait orientation.
For some reason, I am unable to attach an image at the moment but what I am after is similar to Fred Miranda's use of an L-Bracket in his article on using the Sony A7R with Canon glass..
Sony A7R teams up with Canon glass
It is the second image under the heading "Electronic Viewfinder and Tilting LCD".
Here he is using the Hejnar L-Bracket for the Metabones adapter and a Markins L-Bracket for the Sony A7R.
From my understanding, the Markins L-Bracket does not allow you to access the cable ports when used in portrait orientation. This is important to me when I am doing a Panoramic stitch of many "portrait" orientated images.
So my options are (to the best of my knowledge)
RRS L-Bracket
L-plate for Sony A7/A7R
or a JLM L-Bracket
L-Plates for Sony a7 / a7R Cameras
I realise that to use the L-Bracket on the Sony A7R body, the Metabones adapter and L-Bracket will need to be removed.. Also, I assume by looking at this image that you are able to use the Metabones L-Bracket with the Sony A7R L-Bracket in place.. Please correct me if this is incorrect.
Anybody who is using such a setup or even if somebody had a thought as to whether this would work or not, would be great to hear from you..
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated!
