Hi bros And sis

I am a pentax dslr shooter. Great system but I always wanted to move to FF. I am considering the a7 with kit lens. Pardon my questions:

1 Has anyone tried extreme macro with a7?

2 Does the hot shoe supports yongnuo 560 II Flash?

3 Any good 100mm macro lens to recommend?

4 I suppose slrr prices are one of the best?

Thanks!

Happy cny to all!

>> Pentax Q7 is hard to beat for this one.


2 Does the hot shoe supports yongnuo 560 II Flash?
>> Yes


3 Any good 100mm macro lens to recommend?
>> Usually no such thing as a bad macro lens.

>> Some "Lobang King", check with the more price aware guys here.


If you are going to get this camera for native lens use, I suggest you look over what is available for native lenses (and what will be launched within the year) to decide.

If you are asking about native FE lenses, sorry no macro lenses available yet.

If you are opened to add adapters, then all types of macro lenses can be used, subject to suitable adapters. Some (or most of them) may lose the AF function.

How much did SLRR quoted you?

Just a heads up, managed to snag a fe 55 1.8 without preorder from click. Looks like not all the units were sold out on the first day. Dindn't ask remaining availability though

Ya... I know Click had a pre order list previously and had reserved some sets and called up some ppl yesterday. Seems some of the pre-ordered ppl had got their sets from overseas (like me!), thus they r able to release some of these reserved sets out for walk ins
 

Congrats buddy!

Just in time for CNY! Grab more shots and share here!

Hi pinholecam

Nice macro but somehow I feel there are some colour noise on those pictures you shared. Could be my phone screen though.

Anyhow Thanks all for advice.
 

Happy Lunar New Year peeps...wished everyone a happy snappy year ahead!

Guys, just want to hear some feedback from you i only have ZM 50mm f/2 planar for 50mm range lens. so far i quite enjoy using this lens.. very sharp, contrasty, small and light.. very easy to use with MF.. no complaint at all. however i lust after the faster 50mm range lens :) but i don't want to keep more than 1 lens for this range.. hence i'm thinking should i replace my planar f2 with sonnar f1.5 or FE 55mm f/1.8 or MC rokkor 58mm f/1.2? so far those are what i shortlisted.. i'm open to other options though but not leica range price :) if you were me, which one would you choose? for convenience sake i know it's FE 55mm but i can live with MF since i prefer 35mm for convenience (i already have FE35) anyway, i would prefer this features on my 50mm range: small, good build quality, sharp, good bokeh, 3D pop characters. thanks..

Small, contrasty, good bokeh then Zeiss ZM 50f1.5

Sharp, convenient then FE55

Unique bokeh then Rokkor.
