how is the sony for macro work,i recently purchased a nikon adapter for my a7 but i haven't received it yet,i also picked up a 60mm nikon 2.8.does any one have any experience with this or similar combo,i also have a 100mm 2.8 canon that i will try with a canon adapter i also purchased but haven't got yet,i think seeing the depth of ffeild in real ltime should help,i only wish the screen folded out like my 70d,i love that screen.

For my use it works the same as any other camera. I almost never do macro handheld, so I put it on a tripod and manually focus using the LCD. The image quality is better than my old Rebel (as expected), but other than that it's the same.
I've used it with the Canon EF 100mm 2.8 Macro and an old Nikon AIS 50mm Macro
