Worth a look at they are not overly expensive.
Haha...almost thought you were serious for a moment
Worth a look at they are not overly expensive.
I bought an A7 today, its charging at the moment...
Thanks for the info, that help a LOT
I've just had a quick play with the A7, the shutter sounds and feels very different to the GX7!
I bought an A7 today, its charging at the moment I bought it with the kit lens to get me up and shooting right away, but i want to use it mostly with old manual lenses, are there any websites i should be checking out regarding old glass and adaptor information?
I don't know anything about the adapters I might need, they seem to vary in price greatly. I"m probably going to start out with a fastish 50mm prime, probably F1.4 or F1.8, i don't want to spend huge amounts of money, are there any I should be looking at for no more than £100?
I can't get over how tiny the A7 is, not much bigger than my Panasonic GX7 other than the viewfinder
New a7II owner here
Bluuuuuuuuuuuuurgh
Shocking, I know. Picking up an X-T10 at some point, love Fuji but missed full-frame.
So have you sold the X-T1's Chris?
New a7II owner here, got the 55mm 1.8 and 70-200 f4 so far, currently trying to decide how to cover off a fast wide-ish option, tempted by the new 28mm.
Also trying very hard not to buy one of the Mitakon f0.95s for a bit of fun and practice with peaking etc, I'm aware of the pitfalls but used well there are some absolutely stunning inages wide open from them.
Well u just ordered an a7. Was very close call between that an the Fuji xt1. But thought I'd go for full frame and higher MP.
Now I need a lens or several. Can some owners help me out with a littke advice.Something small and wide and bokeh-yummy.
Also any good adaptors for Nikon glass. I know it will be manual focus only.
Cheers
I only have two native lenses. The 28-70mm kit lens and the 55mm. I've yet to use the kit lens but it seems well made and perfectly adequate and surprisingly compact and light too. The 55mm f1.8 is an excellent lens. I think that DPR said it's the sharpest AF lens they've ever tested (?) Something like that.
If you want an adapter I can vouch for Novoflex. Do your lenses have an aperture ring? If the answer is "no" you're going to need a different adapter.
I've changed my mind a bit on lenses recently. I used to want nice wide aperture primes from wide to short tele but these days I just seem to want a nice standard AF prime so the 55mm f1.8 does that for me and for the rest I'm happy with manual lenses for 24, 28, 85, 135 and macro.
Was a little put of by the size of the 55. Was thinking the 35 2.8 may be a good option. Although its bloody expensive.
Compared to the rest I should have addedHaha...almost thought you were serious for a moment

The two photos above are with the 55, it's effortlessly good and so sharp. Balance is really nice on the a7, solid build but pretty compact.
I have the new 28 arriving today so looking forward to playing around with that.
The 28 arrived earlier, so teeny! Off to Menorca tomorrow so taking that with me for the week.
