I have finally succumbed and bought an A7. I have ordered the Sony Zeiss 35mm and have a couple of M mount Voightlanders with a Novoflex adapter which work happily.
However I am also considering buying some 2nd hand Nikon or Canon lenses for occasional use. Some of those are autofocus without the usual aperture ring and I am wondering whether these are in fact useable at all. I am woefully ignorant as to adapters and wonder if anyone can help with some advice.
I don't need the Metabones speed booster, just an adapter which will work. Are there any adapters out there that will allow lenses without an aperture ring to work and if so which ones are recommended. Or am I restricted to buying lenses with an aperture ring and using adapters which allow a stop down to the selected aperture on the lens?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
