This is interesting.
I also found out that the 36Mpx D800 also deliver better images on lenses that consider below average -
typical mid-range zooms f3.5-f4, now sharper. I though the D800 requires better lenses, but it also lifts poor lenses to acceptable level.
Got this statement confirmed by several D800 shooter as well. |

My theory is: smaller sensors needs better lenses
(My A7R has only 9,5mp resolution in the same area as my OM-D has 16mp)
Edit: Maybe not better lenses, but lenses made to cover the correct sensor area. So I believe that FF lenses has better performance on FF cameras than the same FF lenses on smaller systems. _________________ Lars | Manuellfokus.no |

I havent seen any deals for students here ,but even without that its still cheaper than old 5dmk2 body but IMHo , SONY should have removed the AA filter on the A7 also!!! maybe they thought it would cut into the sales of the A7r,but me thinks without the AA filter the 24 MP sensor would have shined better!!! _________________ Cameras-Point and shoot- Powershot A590IS Mirroless-SONY NEX-3

Pierre,
1200 € is for the A7 ?
I would have to change my 5DMk2 today, at this price I would take a 5DMk2 again.
For students, that means that we just have to show a student's card ?
If I were to buy a A7, I would surely get an inscription at university (for instance to learn hungarian).
We can still be students at 50, aren't we ? _________________ Olivier - Moderator

Hi Oliver
Yes, for the A7. But they do price reduction for A7r (-20% too, I guess).
And yes, you just need your student card, they make xerocopy, and that's all. My age is not written on student card, so I think they don't care about the age .
The thing is that I think there is only 1 Sony store in France, at Paris. _________________ Pierre

+1 this is my observation too, on Panasonic G1 same lens did perform far more worst than on Sony NEX-3 , medium format lenses perform awesome on medium format cameras and so so on APS-C or m4/3.
Look large format cameras lenses often crap vs smaller format , but big print from big film produce awesome result.
I saw same effect with 5D2 , almost any lens did perform beautifully _________________ -------------------------------

Yes, but when I checked there, the A7 was at 1350 euros.
Btw, when I reserved it at Sony Store, seller told me it was -18% (1230 euros), but when I came back to buy the camera, he told me it is -20% . _________________ Pierre

Hi folks. Here in Germany educational price for A7 is 1350 Euros. That's not really a 20% as one can get it from a reputable dealer for 1490 Euros, but still a nice reduction. However, I've found this one for 1258 Euro:

For those that don't read French, these appear to be new cameras from Hong-Kong, but shipped from UK. Therefore, the taxes should not apply. They even claim 2 year French warranty. Anyone here from France ever dealt with this group/company? I guess it's a bit of a hassle, but 100 quid might be worth it... _________________ Many lenses and some film bodies for sale here: http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-fd-minolta-md-c-mounts-m42-pentax-and-more-t50465.html

for the life of me, i dont get it either. enthusiasts the world over have been waiting years for a FF hi rez high mp cam, you would think theyve been salivating all this time to see how their best lenses would perform, ya know 'groundbreaking' lenses on a 'groundbreaking' camera...go figure. to each their own. if youre interested there are a lot of great lens samples on rangefinder forum. _________________ Epson RD1 + Elmarit 21/2.8; Summarit 50/1.5; Summarit 75/2.5; Elmar-c 90/4; Sankyo Komura 135/2.8, Hektor 135/4.5; Braun Paxina 29 6x6; Photax Boyer Paris; Holga 120 Pano

I have no other means of shooting these wonderful old lenses on full frame (other than film), what's not to get? In a way, it's like me asking why you are shooting such rich lenses on a crop sensor camera
I'm really enjoying this camera with the Konica 40/1.8 at the mo, although contrast wide open is pretty pathetic Other pancakes I'm going to try include the Yashica ML 50/2 and I might scrape enough together to get the Contax Tessar 45/2.8... _________________ Graham - Moderator
