Shutter vibrations may not be a problem after all on the A7R.

This is a typical rumor blown out of proportions Confused


Wrong... not a rumour, real !

Try it with longer lenses ... i did it with my FD 2.8/300mm L and my FD 4.5/500mm L and this is an issue.

The other way around... make own experiments to see that instead of posting a report from someone, who is not familiar with teleshooting and stops researching on a simple 80-200mm zoom, where you can clearly seen the differences with a 200mm focal length.

I do have only the A7, but if you don't enable the electronic first shutter option in the menue, you will see this with longer telelenses when trying to shoot at the normal "freehand-formula" t=1/focal length... Very Happy

The A7r dont have the option of a electronic first shutter in the user menue...

Did you shoot your cv 35 1.2 on the A7R too, and how was it? ( I consider this lens) Wink


Yes, the CV is the best of the RF 35s except the Leica FLE on the R, but frankly I would use the native 35FE, if I had the choice on that camera.

Small light and really excellent.

Many SLR 35s are less than optimal on the edges as well on the R.

CV 35/1.2 v1 (v1 is better-slightly)

DSC01039-2 by unoh7, on Flickr

on the A7 the lens is better yet.

For the R I would get all natives available. Then you will have best image quality possible. FE 55 is even better than the 35.

AF lenses are so boring Wink

The camerastore give a way the 35mm for free if you buy the A7 or A7R in Norway now, it hurts a little bit when I paid the same amount just for the camera Confused

Is that your house? Timber houses are popular in Norway too, mostly used as cabins these days, but there are quite many who have timber houses as their regular residence too Very Happy

Thank you for the samples!

haha, you have great attitude. I also thought the native 35 would be boring, but now I see no other 35 will ever beat that one on the A7r. The processor is designed to work with it, and knows the lens.

You can always turn the AF off, LOL.

oh, no not my house. maybe in another life, Smile

one more shot of it, again A7r 35/1.2 v1 @ 1.4

Wow, I'll really consider buying A7 :O

The only problem with this thread is that there are no images of this A7 with the glorious lenses attached. How are perverts like myself going to really know what this is really looking like when it is hanging around our necks. I'll need to plan what shoes to wear with some lenses! this is important! Twisted Evil

you are right! I will get on it.


DSC05960 by unoh7, on Flickr

that's the killer Canon LTM 100/2 from about 1963, a match for nearly any high speed 100 today.

but the real sleeper is the other Canon 100 LTM

DSC01625 by unoh7, on Flickr
cheap, weighs nothing, and it's wicked sharp.

Canon LTM 85/1.9 very good, but heavy.

DSC01608 by unoh7, on Flickr

here's the m-rokkor 40/2 and the CV 75/2.5 along side. Both superb.

today I was skiing all day with 40/2 and the OLY 200/5, which is 455 grams WITH adapter. A7 loves the OLY Smile No problem shooting live skiing MF with peaking, even at f/5.

I bought that 200 for the backcountry and my 5n, but was never that happy with it. A7 makes it sing.

The nikon 300 above is pretty big, but I just pulled my Tamron SP 300/5.6 54b back from a loan. It's 661 grams and feels like it was made for the A7; below a test shot yesterday, handheld:

That's not even clean LOL (just looked at the lens again)

Here is the OLY 200/5:

Today I had the OM 135/2.8 which at 360 grams is nice on the A7:

another SLR lens which is way better on the A7 than it was on the 5n--to my surprise

nordentro.. The battery grip is ergonomic crap on Ar7 especially shooting vertical.Waste of money.

I agree, not the best I have tried Confused

But I still kind of like it, it´s more to hold on to with my big hands and my battery time is X2 now which is good as the battery life with just one really sucks Wink

Yep, I'm going to agree with the battery life rationale, the grip 'may' offer better stability but there is an issue with one of the wheels not being placed in a more user friendly fashion. Never mind, it's been paid for now, onwards we go.*

*PS: Well hopefully once my adapters arrive that is.*

nordentro..try hooking it up to Quantum battery pack,lasts much longer and in your climate like mine you can keep it warm in your pants.

Some days ago, I met a very good friend of mine at the ruins of an old monastery.
There we wed his new Sony A7R with many of my old lenses. Smile

Gosh, that was a fun day!!

The photos were taken by Jörg Langer. That's why I can be seen on the photos. Pretty unusal. Wink

Friday I had confirmation of my refund for the R. Tonite I celebrated with a new backup body for my now beloved plain A7: it's about the same size, and loves tiny wide angle lenses. Starts with "M" and ends with: "9". Smile

That Kiron looks great on the A7! Shocked
