Official Sony A7 or A7r discussion thread

[ageha]

Can some kind soul ask the Sony rep ... especially if there's a Japanese rep around, whether the domestic set has English menu option. Thanks!

There are always two domestic models, one hasn't and the other has. It's the same as with any other Sony camera and camcorder.

If I may say this here, I'm somewhat quite excited about the RX10 too. It's more within my budget and I can find more of a use for it than an A7. Did anyone manage to try the RX10 out?

Nopez. But seemed quite good on d constant f/2.8 across d zoom range.

 

[Thoth]

Good that they allowed u to put in your own sd cards and lenses

Yeah. D TruFinder is really good. No lag. Bright like OVF. Amazing.

Haha my turn to try tmr! How was the cv 35 1.7 and the Leica on the a7?

 

[ricohflex]

Haha what are you talking about? That pic is taken and posted by me and the lenses are canon 50 1.2L and cv 50 1.1. Where did the canon 50 1.0 come from hehehe

he he... miscue. ...did not get the F1.0?

 

[ricleo]

he he... miscue. ...did not get the F1.0?

Haha no la.... Too old a lens, worried ant AF failure. Rather get a manual fd lens hehe, or the 0.95 LTM! Too big though for the a7 hehehe

It's great but since I din managed to activate the DMF to assist Focus Peaking, the result wasn't great. Can see some CA too. LOL

[Errz]

I saw some metabones.

 

[ricleo]

nice they actually provide adaptors. haha if we brought our own adaptors will it get mixed up.

I saw some metabones.

 

[zgim80]

Anyone knows if there are any purchase-with-purchase for the A7? And anyone testing the CV 35 1.4 today?

 

[jopel]

f/8 on CV15 on A7, din test A7R...



More on A7 on Zeiss 55/1.8 wide open

both f8 and f1.8 are under exposed, is it due to the metering of the cam or your preference to shoot under?
The vignette produced by this lens at f8 and f1.8 does not look good especially when the images are under.
Just my opinion.

Well. Only able to quick shoot as many ppl r waiting for d cam bro. Did my best to try d 55/1.8 and my legacy lenses in a very short time. Haha.

Partly due to dim indoor lightings n seems camera r prone to under expose by at least a third stops on d A7. I did some tweaking in LR and it looks much better.

Thanks for uploading the images, I prefer looking at these images than those done by the "expert" reviews. Even though they are taken in a hurry it does show the capabilities of the cam and the lens used.

U can only tell so much by those reviews. U should hands on n see if it fits yr shooting style n preference.
