The thrift store next door just so happens to have a Minolta 50mm 1.8 AF, my sister owns a A6000 so I can borrow her glass as well. She has minolta glass already.

Love this thing so much already.

Just gotta order adapters for my legacy glass now!

Could it be IBIS was set to the wrong focal length?

Its automatic as it was the FE28.

Dumb adapters are so cheap. There's an adapter for nearly any type of lens to e mount. I have Minolta Glass konica glass nikon glass canon glass olympus glass and m42 glass for my sony. Old glass can be so good and so cheap. I can't remember when I used a auto focus lens. Even on my em5 I use manual glass only. I've learned a lot. Auto focus can make u lazy. All my lenses are prime so I feel it makes you think more.

Guys when I shoot the milkyway yesterday, I was guessing focus. My plan was to over bump the ISO first just to nail focus then bring it down after achieving focus. The problem was the LCD stays dark, no matter how i changed settings it doesn't work.. I tried to turn of liveview display so it will act like optical viewfinder, it's not working. The lens use was manual, the Canon FD20mm F2.8


is this normal or I had tweak something wrong on my menus.

Pm me if your thinking selling the a7 ii. I'm no where near needing a a7r2 but the a7 ii is up my alley. I know how well ibis works with older glass on my em 5. I jumped the gun on the a7 I have now. I should have waited. I heard the a7 ii was on is way to be released and I bought a used a7 any ways.

I had this problem as well. Ended up googling something and found a setting to change the whole thing. There is like an "EVF/Monitor view for what it will look like" setting somewhere.

I know all too well! This is my third mirrorless but first full frame. What a difference. Thanks for the warm welcome and tips everyone. Looking forwards to contributing.

thanks, i'll check it out. I know before on my A7R, i will just turn off the liveview display and it acts like an OVF.
