It isn't. Look at the aperture ring. Too bad I sold my I-22. I need to reacquire before I get the A7 Laughing

well that's ok then Razz

But just whats that old glass doing hanging around such a young girl like that A7 anyway. People will talk! Razz

What other wonderfully inappropriate lenses do you have to court the a7 Twisted Evil

I can't help myself, but new technology just looks ridiculously wonderful once mated to glass born not long after the transistor Laughing

As long as no one goes and put something as common as a CZJ 135/3.5 on the front of the A7r and posts the results I should be able to resist. Thankfully I have no exotic lenses to speak of.. .. Wink

you know I don't mind those soft corners at all. Its gives each image a nice organic kinda, "I'm looking at a print from K-mart" feel about it. And that's not to discredit it! Actually in enhances it! Razz

I have fond memories of K-mart as an 6 yr old picking up these magical pieces of paper with pictures of me on them?

One of my backcountry mainstays, Tele-Elmarit, first time on the A7 Smile

Today I got the Hawks v3 Close focus M adapter, since the older ones vignette. Built like a tank, very tight, heli lock, and adjustable infinity. Pretty nice.

Very nice samples! Very Happy
It's almost Christmas, and I will have more time to play with my camera as well Wink

The light is also very bad now, only a few hours of daylight during the day. There will be a couple of months before it's getting better...

???...Are you mad? The A7r is currently the sharpest Bayer/CFA sensor camera in the world...OK, not Foveon X3 sensor sharp, but bloody sharp none the less. Here is a 100% crop comparison (from dpreview) between the A7r, the A7, the D800 and the 5D MkIII (sorry but I don't have a crop from the D800E to compare)...The A7r cannot be beat!

Sharpness is boring! I want character, mood, feeling, circles and vague thoughts!

Just goes to show what little use those tests are in the real world. I think with the native lenses the A7r will be fine. It is highly flawed shooting all sorts of legacy glass 35 and wider. That's my opinion after thousands of shots with many lenses.

The A7 is far better with the legacy glass, though still flawed.

There are exceptions at 50mm and higher.

The extra rez of the A7r is gone by the time you see shots on your screen (a great one) and at anything but large print sizes.

So if AF sony glass is your thing, the A7r is fine. Otherwise I feel it is inferior. My own opinion coming from alot of use with glass I care about.

I have never sent a camera back before. I don't regret the switch. But each should make up their own mind. No doubt superb images can be made with the A7r and practically any lens. But frankly the M9 walks all over it in the real world: just because sony has covered their sensors with too many layers.

That was not the opinion I expected to have when I ordered the camera.

LOL and you can always find a nice Pentax logo to paste over the "Sony", and no one will ever know Wink

Sneaky framing to make your 28 cron look good on the edges with the A7. Details at this distance look fairly decent, then you put the distant stuff in the middle.

What happens when you take too many shots of your dog?


DSC01136 by unoh7, on Flickr

My other RF 28, the Elmarit v3

That's a 2.8 with Hawks v3 CF adapter. Now smearing is greatly reduced as you focus closer, not that you can tell. A good aspect of the sonys is their sweet rendering of OOF objects, which also takes the edge of the smear at wide apertures.
