Here is A7r with Deo Tech AF adapter and Contax G90. AF is slow but very accurate. Will test more this weekend and post some pictures, but so far extremely sharp. So, now have 2 AF lenses for A7r. Patiently waiting for 55mm, but this is a good portrait lens...

do you have any image test with this lens ?
 

Any idea how I can use a Canon flash with Sony A7. I hear mention of a multi interface adapter but cannot or dunno where to find any info on it.

Just mount it? And u can use it in full manual. TTL will not work because the ttl algorithms differs between brands.
 

tsammyc i am waiting for my Deo Tech AF adapter to come, its like taking forever. Meanwhile i am using Metabones adapter on these Contax G lens and results are great.
 

Anyone tried Sony HVL-43M Flash on their A7/Rs? Would like some inputs... Tks... Or any other good ones to recommened (3rd party?) that can match the HVL-43M?
 

bro, just tried the 600ex-rt on my A7. 2 things
- no ttl. flash fires off.
- "cant see" anything in evf with iso100,f5.6,1/80s setting in my room as it is technically underexposed without the fill flash. its a problem to me... anyone can verify and is there a work around?
with my hvlf60m, the evf showed everything properly. no issue at all. its got to do with the additional contact pins on sony flashes for sure.

probably safer to stick to sony.

for travel, f20m looks decent. for more serious work, go for the f60m. of course f43m will be enough to serve most general purpose :)

cheers!

actually it's the TTL system. the Canon TTL pins are different from the Multi Interface Hotshoe. that's why you won't get the TTL.

to see through the EVF properly, switch "Settings Effect" in the Menu to OFF. the EVF will turn into OVF Mode
 

cool! will try that ;)

thanks!!!

Ya bro. Looking at 43M. Haha
 

Can I ask about shooting in RAW format?

If I shoot in raw + jpeg, am I right to presume whatever settings I set in my camera i.e skin softening, higher saturation, only affects my jpeg pictures?

Thats right, Raw is raw, all the in processing settings will not apply

Thanks. Means it's safe for me to have some presets in case I want to use some jpegs 'pre processed'
