including G lens if you buy the right adaptor

for example this one. there is a actual ring for you to turn on the adaptor to change aperture.

I use this metabones, it works with G lens and is able to control f stop. However, it is gradual or continuous difficult to determine which f stop you are at. ha ha.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
 

looks like a good dual charger! so you have received it and it works well so far?
 

Came across this on eBay and bought it recently, quite good for its price: A good solution to those frustratingly long waits for the NP-FW50 batteries to fully charge. Can cut the waiting time in half, more or less. Check it out if anyone is interested: http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/261424111964?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Bought and used only a few times before one side unable to charge anymore

So far no issues with me, used both sides to charge a few times already. Been using it for both my A7R and RX10 batts.

As with any electronic gadget one buys from eBay, particularly made in China, it could be a game of hit or miss at times. I have been lucky so far (knock on wood)✌.
 

Sharing time again :D

Bought this from eBay and been playing with it, with satisfactory results.

Auto Focus Macro Extension Tube Adapter 10 & 16mm for Sony E-Mount

Granted that it's not exactly cheap for the quality, but the AF helps a lot with my old, failing eyesight. There are much better ones, but not worth getting in my opinion if it's used mainly for hobby-shooting.

Can use a single adapter tube, or stack the two to get even closer focus. This is what it looks like on the A7R with FE35 f2.8:

Comes with a nice black velvety soft pouch:

A few sample shots, no cropping, with the adapter tubes on the above set up:

Shot at around 7.5cm closest focus distance with the 10mm tube:
10cm-26650436.jpg


Shot at around 5cm closest focus distance with 18mm tube:
7.5cm-18118628.jpg


And finally shot at around 2.5cm closest focus distance with the 10 & 18mm tubes stacked together:
7.5cm-18118628.jpg


The distances mentioned were measured from the tip of the lens rim to the focused surface. Not scientific obviously, so don't flame me.:embrass:

I gave the seller Neutral feedback :bsmilie: complain about the build quality.

Really? It looks like better build quality than mine. But eBay photos can be quite misleading at times.

Nice. I also just ordered this a few days ago.
Even more expensive than yours, but I suspect it should be same kind of quality:
