What would be great if the Sony are serious about us wanting to use m mount lenses is to bring out an adaptor like the fuji one. It is really good as you have 6 presets that you can adjust the vignetting, distortion, edge colours etc for each different lens just by pressing a button on the side of the adaptor. really great idea

Hey, I put my order in 5-minutes after the end of the live video release on the web. Had nothing to do with you and I certainly don't think you are an idiot... don't be so hard on yourself.:D But, if you are up my way I'll by you a pint anyway.

 

By the way, this is a really nice camera just shooting it around the house tonight. I can't tell too much just looking at the camera screen so, it will be interesting to shoot the M240, RX1, and the A7R this weekend and then getting a chance to see them on a big screen.

 

One thing, shooting these three cameras tonight at 2500-6400 ISO and at 35mm...I realize again that the RX1 is just an amazing camera. The Leica can't quite keep up at ISO. I'm not sure yet how the A7R with the 35 LUX FLE fits in... certainly, color at higher ISO is real nice.

Yes but what would Puts think? ;) you got all the good toys.

Interesting I have tried the 28 cron on the A7 and though it seems to work quite well I find focussing so much easier and quicker on M(240) especially if you stop down at all. I really feel that the widest I will use on the A7 is 35 mainly because of ease of focussing issues

I wonder why nobody is taping up that rather prominent Sony badge for “stealth”.:confused:

 

I've seen this already on flickr--and I will do it. My daughter, 14 who has a nex with MF glass she loves, saw the A7r and thought "it was just one of your old film cameras,dad" When I handed it too her to try she could not believe it. :)

So Rich, you too are now peeking down the rabbit hole?

 

Rick,

 

Not yet, only about 67% battery charge. After that I will start to try to figure out how to set up the camera and then to start playing with so lenses. I suspect that I will not get too far tonight as it is about 8:00 and have a lot more to charge the first battery. I will probably charge the 2nd overnight and if I wake up charge the third. Unfortunately we are still waiting for the new Sony AC charger to become available. After that I will try to start taking some images hopefully tomorrow.

I just ordered the Watson dual battery charger from B&H which for use with the grip then 2 in grip and 2 in charger sounds about right to me. It also comes with a car charger. Not cheap, but reminds me of Phase One dual battery chargers.

 

 

Lou,

 

How do you know that the batteries fit the A7R?
