Likewise - I've a C/Y Zeiss 50mm that suffers mirror strike on my 5D and my FDs are compromised by the register distance being slightly longer than EF mount. I'm longing to try out my FD 20/2.8, 28/2.0, 35/2.0 SSC and 135/2.5 SC on one of these.
That's terrible Alan.... Shocking what CC's can do these days.My credit card, all by itself, just logged on to a well known seller and ordered me an A7+kit lens and I should be getting a fee bag with my order.

I look forward to seeing your 5D for sale
The 35mm is cheaper.
I dont like that bag either.
Castle Cameras are advertising the 55mm at £699, which is £50 cheaper than Amazon and over £200 off list price

Personally I think its great news Alan's credit card has ordered an A7 : exactly the kind of customer who's opinions I will value regarding this reasonably-priced compact-enough black&orange-enough short-flange 35mm digicam.
It appears to tick all the boxes, now let's see what it's really like.
Looks like Adobe have the Camera RAW update for these now for those that wanted to check out the raw files.
FWIW, that's been how Adobe have played it with their Camera RAW updates since it first shipped - versions of Camera RAW released after a new version of Photoshop require the new version of Photoshop and new cameras are added to the new version of Camera RAW only.
My CS5 wont open them and DNG wont convert them. I'm hoping that DNG will be updated but I know that CS5 will not be which annoys me very much as it was such an expensive package... in the region of £600 as I remember. I hope Adobe burn in hell...
I did manage to open some in UFRaw but they looked horrible and I couldn't rescue them so I will have to use the Sony software until DNG comes good.
I do want to avoid giving Adobe any more money after feeling as if I've been mugged over CS5 and if I have to buy anything I hope it can be a non Adobe product.
Have you found a good bulk DNG converter btw?
Just a thought, the metaraw plugin is available for very little and lets you open raw files from new cameras in old releases of Photoshop. It uses the latest available dng converter and opens them in camera raw. Very nifty indeed and you can download a trial copy to check it works (I can now open 6D files in cs5). Obviously the latest dng converter needs to be available for download first though.
I think a lot of my processing will have to be done on an 8GB RAM PC downstairs unless my new job supplies a high spec 64 bit laptop.
Alan - when is the Sony due?
