Started using the A7R2 at work today - it's not bad. Tricky to tell what's in and out of focus on the LCD though. Even zoomed in nothing seems that sharp.

What's bayer mush? Yes I googled it!you might be seeing bayer mush if its not doing any sharpening on reviewing pics
This was with the 55/1.8 Zeiss - I've got an adapter to try out with my Canon glass but it seems a little flakey trying it at home.What glass you using with it?

So I guess you did this with manual focus was it hand held what adapter did you use please?Just for comparison, here's some Ring Tailed Lemurs taken a couple of weeks ago with the A7 and a 40 year old Canon FD 200mm f/4 SSC. I think the lens cost me about £25

Great pricing for the adapters unsure what way to go I do many shots in manual though even in the past usually had auto focus makes me ponder would I just miss the shot because my subject moved before I got correct focusYes, manual focus, hand held.
I have an adapter from ciecio7 in Poland. It's solid and dependable. I had a couple of m4/3 adapters for different mounts from him for several years before moving to the A7.
He does another cheaper model without the built in tripod mount foot.

Really like the pricing looking on eBay most BIN prices are over £65 so you got a bargain and you have nailed focusing your lens

Yeah. Gotta admit every Bayer camera I've had a images look so soft straight ooc. Not.
Probably why everyone uses sigma cameras.
the camera applies sharpening, but on average a foveon/monochrome will give you abit under double the sharpness/detail, per resolution, so by extension bayer isnt pin sharp at 100%
Hey guys - I used the A7RII over the weekend at a wedding - I put some thoughts down on 'paper' as well as a few images if you're interested - http://albertpalmerphotography.com/for-photographers/sony-a7rii-review-from-a-wedding-photographer/
I think the silent shutter issue only applies with artificial light sources, and am fairly sure that I read that the same issue occurs on other cameras using the same system.

The issue with the silent shutter kind of defeats the benefit of having it.
I wouldn't say so, in natural light it's brilliant. As long as you are aware of its limitations and work around them it's a fantastic tool to have.
As others have mentioned it's not a Sony specific problem, until a true global shutter is out there those problems will always remain.

Yeah not complaining about it being a Sony specific problem.
Generally I find outdoor shooting the shutter noise is less of an issue. It's indoors that you truly would get the benefit of a silent shutter imo. And indoors you are more likely to have artificial light.
And therefore it isn't really fit for purpose for me.
But in that case, there isn't a camera (with silent shutter) that is fit for purpose for you - is the Sony fit for purpose (for you) in other respects?
The focusing in low light issue is a concern for me too, but only a play with the camera in those conditions will be the decider for me. There are way too many people on some forums who have never tried the cameras with drone on with negative opinions that are unjustified.
I have the original A7r and am very pleased with it, likewise the D800, and would have bought neither if I read some of the posts!
