Hi Nordentro,
My Takumars and co are waiting in a drawer.
I am thinking of the A7r.
Thanks for your feedback.

I got my m42 adapter today! Wow, this is fun! Takumars, Helioses, Jenas, Meyers etc
I have a lot to do with my A7R now!
A guy told me that the A7(R) use the same battery as NEX cameras?!? Can somebody confirm, and is ther cheap china ones to buy?? ![Surprised](images/smiles/icon_surprised.gif) |
Yes it's the same battery type in all Sony NEX, Sony A7/r and also many Sony Alpha DSLRs but there are incompatiblitly issues with noname batteries!
When upgrading from NEX-3 to NEX-5N I had to throw away several chinese batteries (not all, only a few).
Cameras always said something like "Wrong voltage, replace battery as it may a have defect" or similar after a few shots.
I would recommend to wait a few weeks until seller advertises that it works with A7/r, otherwise it's a bit gambling.
At the moment I only have original batteries. _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester

I've bought the original screen protector already before I bought the A7 and I put it on the camera before starting to play around with it
Sony camera screens are very sensitive, like with my Sony NEX-5N which is 2 years old and now looks like a used lottery scratch ticket
That's highly decreasing used market price.

I have a question for those who already are using the A7s , how is the ergonomics ,i mean to say the focus assist button and cycling magnified view ?? can the magnified view be scrolled with the rear thumb wheel/dial?? can the focus assist be custom assisted to a button near the shuter release or the C2 button?? |
There is a timer on the magnified view (2 or 5 seconds or just button on off). There is also 2 step magnified view by default, one click = close, two click = closer. Ergonomics are very good for such a small camera IMO. The C2 button is the magnified view by default. I haven´t tried to assign another button because this works just nice ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |
Thank You nordento !! looks like it is far superior than any NEX |
I've set it on the button in the middle of the wheel - imho it's much better there than on C2
@raay
Why it's far superior than any other NEX? It's exactly the same like on every NEX! Or did I miss something? _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester

I had a chance to play with my a7 all afternoon. I'm not in love with the ergonomics. I'd prefer if the top plate was sloped forward a bit. as it is, I am flexing my index finger a bit unnaturally so I can use the C1, front dial and shutter button. hopefully I get used to it. _________________ flickr? |

+1.
Just wondering if it is worth opening a new sub-forum under Digital Rangefinders for Full Frame Mirrorless and move some of these posts there. They provide some good early samples and info about the camera. _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/58547200@N00/ |

Thank you for the kind comments
Here's the manual: https://docs.sony.com/release/ILCE-7_7R_guide_EN.pdf
P.s. Setting Display Quality to "High" gives a more OVF like experience in the EVF (less jagged edge effects / moire). It does use more battery power though, and some might like the jagged effect to confirm focus. _________________ Graham - Moderator

Takumars are very nice. It will be a good match. I have only tested the 50mm f/1.4, but I can post pictures of others if you want ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________ Lars | Manuellfokus.no |

Interesting!
The D800 is among the best DR. Not sure what value tester set it to
In my experience, one single shot can be as good as HDR with 2 or 3 frames.
DR value in D800 also produce non natural dark/light, so I used to have it at average or a bit above average.
The results from A7r are very good.
Size and weight matter, but the reason to keep d800 is AF and long tele. |
