Fun With Sony Cameras

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.
A7r. Sounds as I anticipate...:rolleyes:

Sony A7 + Summicron-R 90mm f/2
ISO 100 @ f/2.8 @ 1/400 s

There was something pure and attractive about the way this bicycle looked. Very appealing to my eye.

Thanks for looking. Comments always appreciated.
The toe-clips are a little strange and I do prefer to have at least one brake when I ride on the road.....

You are correct that single speeds looks so clean...beauty in track bikes.

Oh yes ... riding a fixie I suppose the owner feels he's in control, but it would scare the bejesus out of me not to have a brake too. ;-)

Re: Fun with the NEX cameras....

Decided to take the Nex 5 for a spin, as have not used it much in a while.

Here is one I took today with my Nex 5r and SAL 18-200 lens

Out of camera no post processing!

To make the 18-200 more usable on the tiny Nex body, I added a cheap 3rd party Ownuser vertical grip to the Nex 5r. Now not only does it feel much better to hold, it also aids stability when using any largish lens on the tiny Nex body.

Here it is next to the still much larger and heavier Olympus E-M1

Don't tell me I'm the only one who remembers coaster brakes!? Just pedal backwards; it'll stop - unless the chain derails :)

PS: That's probably the reason for the weird toe-clips too, since it is a pain to rotate the pedals around to the right spot.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Here's flat field shot, David. Not a real close close up. a7r with Sony LE4A adapter and Sigma 70 mm macro at f5.6.



I took a whole series from f2.8 to f11 and really cannot tell one from another except for DOF of the background. I can report there is virtually no vignetting after full aperture and no smearing in the corners. This is no surprise as the rear element of the Sigma is well forward of the mount and about 3 inches from the sensor.

The bottom corners at 100% are just as sharp as the centre with very crisp rendering of the texture of the stone.
Thanks Bill,
I encountered some log-in problems and needed to start a new profile to respond. I've ordered the lens and will soon be testing:salute:

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

f 1,0, just wondering do you have any issues with Magenta casts etc when using the 12mm Voigtlander with the A7r?
