Sony A7x lounge

By any chance does anyone have samples with a Canon FL 35mm 2.5?

if not here your best chance is flicker.

this was strobe. with my flashpoint and 48" modifier facing the wall to bounce.

I promise i never have to do anything with the color on this edit. The expodisc works.

I take back everything I said previously about touch screens and how pointless they are. Got my x70 today and just playing about with it to get a feel for it and see if its a keeper but the ability to choose the focus point by touch is amazing! I actually now wish the a7rii had this feature, its definately quicker than pressing the 4 way pad multiple times.

On another note any time I use a different camera nowadays it reminds me how amazing the a7rii actually is. I think I start taking some things for granted after a while and its not until I'm reminded of them

Glad to see another converted opinion. It's as I have said numerous times, the people who diss on touchscreens or say they're gimmicks haven't used one... that was my EOS M's saving grace, I absolutely loved the touchscreen, I seriously don't understand why people won't just accept them as an awesome advancement in technology so companies will take them more seriously and start putting them in every camera.

The beauty of the Sony system for me is that you CAN choose to have very small and light lenses depending on the photo outing.
If you're willing to go with MF and are looking for size/weight, then you can carry a number of small legacy FD lenses and M-mount lenses and there it REALLY is quite a bit smaller and lighter.
And of course, you can still have an AF kit (which more likely will result in regular DSLR size lenses, more or less).

Here's a shot that shows how small some of the lenses can be compared to the Canon or Sony natives side by side.
Note the 2 M-mount Voigtlanders and their size.

I currently have a small kit for when I want to carry less and don't care about AF (typically landscape shots, hiking around).

CV 15, FD 24, FD 50, Vivitar 135. All MF. But I can fit the whole lot of them in the smallest bag. Heck, I could probably fit them all together into the 70-200 slot in my bag. No exaggerating. In fact, that was exactly the setup I took with me on my vacation to Portland last year.

Now if I want faster glass, or AF, and I'm looking for portraits, or whathaveyou, then I can do the EF 16-35/4, FE 24-70, the EF 70-200/4 or I can throw in the Sigma 35, FE 55, FE 90 and the FD 135/2, or any of my Canon gear. But then, it's about the same weight and size as a DSLR kit.

Very true. And that's usually my argument when people rag on their size and weight as well, though I must admit that these days when I really just want to go simple/small/light I take the X-E2 and a couple of primes in my pockets, something I can't quite do with the a7S (without looking like I'm having a reeeaallly good day )

Fe55 and 50L then. Canon is still smaller

It might be shorter, but I definitely wouldn't call it "smaller".

the 50L? it's shorter but it's not small also in my opinion.

Totally forgot flickr had a search option. Thanks!

All awesome. Love the one skimming the suface.

I went to DC with some friends on Saturday and took some shots, not nearly as many as I usually do though. Here's one of the parking garage for the Metro station, kinda want to go back here with a tripod and some more time, I just snapped this real quick while we were walking to the car. Not sure if I like it better in color or B&W

FE 55mm

Agreed. If the image counts/money or reputation on the line it's native e-mount lenses.
Luckily/happily for me all this is frivolity-just something I do to relieve stress so no dollars in the wing.
That and only real reason I bought A7R or a7Rii was for landscape and how many landscapes do I do a year-not enough
to justify.

I do agree Sony in not so many words implied good if not great use with EOS lenses adapted with the A7Rii. I think from the first reports that came ouf of FredMiranda one should have looked at adapting with a cautious eye. Vin makes a great point that Sony should put out an adapter that is truly compatible....who knows, now with so much evidence pointing to agreements (though nothing public) with Canon on 1DXii sensor maybe a coming to terms with lens mounts-crazy?

I know Sony can do adapters. The LAEA-3 after several thousand shots has been absolutely flawless with the 70-400gii + A7Rii...the ability is there, just not motive.

Funny, many move to Sony for the best sensor the world has known then lament the loss of the EOS glass. Looks like Sony fully intends to address the loss with the FE GM series. Maybe someday Sony will address my needs but I think the FE wildlife/bird/sports needs are down the list. So my plan is to keep advancing in the EOS world until Sony gets to us.

a word f caution. I have both the fotodiox and the MB. The fotodiox worked wonderfully on all my canon glass, but wasn't flocked. Then I got the sigma 35/1.4 art and discovered the fotodiox does not work with it at all. It causes the camera to crash. Can't even use it with MF. So I sprung for the MB and that works great with the sigma.

So my journey to find lenses for the A7R II continues. Today, the Fotodiox Pro adapter arrived to convert my last remaining Canon lens, the 24-70 f/4 IS. I tried the Metabones IV T, and quite frankly I wasn't that impressed given the $400 price.

I was surprised to find out that the Fotodiox one works really well (perhaps better than the MB) with the 24-70 f/4 IS lens on my A7R II. It seems like it needed a bit of time to "learn" the lens and from that point on, seems to nail focus everytime even near the perimeter of the AF frame. I had my Canon glass for sale, and this was the last lens remaining, so now I think I'm going to keep it. I also plan to use the adapter on my Sigma 35 f/1.4 Art until the new Sigma MC-11 ships.

I tried the Sony/Zeiss 35mm f/1.4, but too much purple fringing and the Sigma was way less expensive with a recent promo for the lens and adapter. While the Sigma lenses are fairly large, there is no disputing their optical quality and fairly reasonable price.

If/when you sell the 24-70/4 please remember me. I'm in the market.
