Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Someone asked me about the Micro Nikkor. I have couple of samples of the 55/3.5 and this one was taken with a not so great (cosmetics) one.

[Apologies for the poor lighting and the set up. It is hoped that it will get better with practice.]

It makes it very neutral and is better then with the wrong lighting which can cause a lot of nasty reflections.

It is a Leica lens! Before Leica made their own versions (badged Elcan), they bought the commissioned lens from Tamron for their Docuflex. The bird man, Doug, deciphered it (the origins) for me a long while ago. :)

The exposure is fine but I was referring to some of the reflections and the quality of light. I have to work on the modifiers a bit and the background.

Also, this little guy was on the balcony when I got home. I got a few pictures through the screen and/or blinds but scared him off when going for a better view.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Well first day out and at the moment I only have 2 lenses the Zeiss 135 F2 and Leica 19mm R. So a little limited. Anyway I shot these handheld with the A7R. Nothing special just some happy snappy's. Was more after a feel for the camera and i also reset my settings as well. One thing I did notice I want to change is one setting to get to the focus peaking. I was on medium and felt a little too distracting in the bright light, wanted to go to low and pin point a little better. So far I am liking it a lot

Shot this handheld actually i shot everything handheld. LOL

Zeiss 135 at F4


Zeiss 135 wide open at F2


Zeiss 135 wide open at F2


Leica 19mm at about F4 or so and yes i am really close


Leica 19 about F8


For handheld i did very good but I know from shooting the D800e a tripod would be a slam dunk on detail. This is a 9 out of 10

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Also i should point out you want one of the best lenses made in 35mm than that Zeiss 135 F2 is it. Do yourself a favor and get one in the nikon, canon mount and buy a adapter for it. I have had almost all of them out there this thing is a freaking laser. It is so much easier to nail focus handheld with focus peaking that alone smokes my Nikons. Frankly I think it is why i completely bailed ship on the Nikons as fast as i did. between focus peaking and the LCD live view Nikon has a lot to learn. Im not waiting for it either, Im on the bandwagon.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Oh that is not distortion from the lens in that last 19mm shot. That is the way it is built. Weird
