Official Sony A7 or A7r discussion thread (Season II)

Question: why so many people sell their A7 after a few day of usage, as you see there are tons of A7 on BnS.

any hidden problem with the system, any suggestion, on the fence now.

using a kipon one bought from ebay..so far so good. quite like OM glasses for their contrast and colour.

I would love to give them a try too. Very nice colors. thanks for the recommendation. The novoflex ones i was looking at were terribly expensive.

I personally feel a lot of it were impulse buys. The novelty of digital Fullframe for a relatively low sum. For some it's just a lack of research for the early adopters not knowing what they are buying into. Especially those who got it to adapt their wide rf glass.
For video makers who bought the a7 for its "AA filter" only to find out it has worse moire and alliasing in video than the a7r without it. That might be a deal breaker too. just my 2cents.

novoflex branded ma.. for me, i dun use the zuiko so often, so a normal priced adapter would suffice.. as long as it works..

bro, i no money to buy such a lens.. haha.. mine is the humble 50/1.8. so i cant really advice u on the 2 lens u mentioned. the 55/1.2 is with macro?

Thanks for the recommendation. Think i'll go with the kipon ones , fotga adapters seem a little too cheap for comfort =pp
For a little bit more the kipon one seems to have a much superior fit.

my kipon was a little too tight but it feels assuring. tight is better than loose.(sounds very wrong haha)

haha i'm a little ocd with lens-play so its good to hear. If sony's not gonna release a 24mm or 28mm anytime soon, gotta go with the good old zuiko.
