Sony a7(R): Best thing that happened to Canon users this year.

One more test at f1.8. Lighting is overhead mini flood lamps over the bathroom mirror in front of me and a regular lightbulb in a white globe behind and to my left.

I am...and I hope I will always be like a kid.

Interesting shapes and colors of rocks. They look like something one might use for an aquarium.

There's a small corner market a few blocks from where I live with fruits and vegetables displayed outside. I've been meaning to get a couple of shots there and finally got the chance today. I think it warrents a revisit too.

^ Nice

I am considering picking up one of these bodies (probably the a7) and some older manual focus lenses.

What would be some good legacy glass to pick up for reasonable prices? I was also wondering if anyone was from south florida and knew of a camera store where I could check one out?

David "dtufino" is the expert on that in this thread. But, also have a look at the a7 image thread over on the Fred Miranda forum: lots of great images from old legacy lenses there. Here's the link: http://www.fredmiranda​.com/forum/topic/12552​48

As for checking one out, I've seen a couple people in various threads referencing checking out the a7 at a Best Buy store (I don't typically visit that store, so I can't verify that). It's probably not going to be too challenging to find one.

Ebay is your best friend....

I'm using my A7 with VERY old canon glass.

Canon FL 50mm f/1.4 (Super Sharp wide open, even better stepped down)
Canon FD 100 f/2.8 (amazing sharp, i only use this lens wide open)
Canon FD 135 f/2.5 (AMAZING, I got a SUPER mint one on ebay for 85US and got another one because this one is just too mint... lol)
Canon FL 135 f/2.5 (Tack Sharp)

I also have the Sony 35mm f/2.8 which i'm selling very soon! (if anyone is interested let me know, i can sell it at a very great price.

Posted it up... PM me if interested.

Why using MF Canon FD over native 35/2.8?

I think the newer Zeiss / Sony FE lens should have better image resolution than the older lens?
