Thomas Chen Posted June 13, 2015 Share #4841 Posted June 13, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Gerry, Glad to see your Leica lenses work so well. To probe into the digital world, maybe this book helps somewhat: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/shop/adobe-lightroom-cc6-the-missing-faq/ Best Regards, Thomas Chen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Hi Thomas Chen, Take a look here The Sony A7 thread [Merged]. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
gyoung Posted June 13, 2015 Share #4842 Posted June 13, 2015 Thanks Thomas, that looks promising. I have a basic book on Lightroom but there are a lot of questions and as there's no index its frustrating! This one looks good. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHeMan Posted June 13, 2015 Share #4843 Posted June 13, 2015 Gerry, fwiw I have been using the Summarit 35mm on my a7 and haven't experienced any of the problems that I have read with the Summicron 35mm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted June 13, 2015 Share #4844 Posted June 13, 2015 Thanks, next time I'm at a show and Leica is exhibiting I'll see if they'll let me try it on the A7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp995 Posted June 19, 2015 Share #4845 Posted June 19, 2015 ...Very happy with the performance of my Leica 21, 50 and 90 lenses, 35 is a problem! ... Same to mee; 35mm is an issue ... The best M-solution actual for A7 seems to be the CV Nokton 1.2/35. For me it is much too big to carry around the whole day and 35mm is my favorite focallength. Examples with 35mm 'crons are not convincing. So I'm waiting on the new CV Ultron 1.7/35 which was announced at Photokina last year and might be availible soon.

saxo Posted August 3, 2015 Share #4850 Posted August 3, 2015 Interesting thanks. Smeared corners don't seem to improve though: http://blog.kasson.com/?p=10993 http://blog.kasson.com/?p=10713a Sorry, but your links refer to the A7II. We were talking about the A7rII. These two cameras are very different in sensor design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKasson Posted August 3, 2015 Share #4852 Posted August 3, 2015 Sorry, but your links refer to the A7II. We were talking about the A7rII. These two cameras are very different in sensor design. I would expect that the a7RII would have about the same smearing issues as the a7R, since I expect the same sensor stack thickness. The effects might appear to be slightly worse at 100% because the pixel pitch is somewhat finer. However, the BSI sensor is likely to be less sensitive to crosstalk, and therefor the corner color casts should be better. I hope to know soon.

johnloumiles Posted August 4, 2015 Share #4853 Posted August 4, 2015 Maybe yes, maybe no. Just depends on the needs of the photographer. I print up to 72''x60" so I'll take the extra MP if it doesn't affect IQ but as far as the zillion menu options I agree that it's all pretty irrelevant when it comes to the photograph. It's more like a great time for gear-heads. For photographers all this is irrelevant. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lik Posted August 5, 2015 Share #4854 Posted August 5, 2015 Dear all, today I had the opportunity to test the A7RII with the very demanding Voigtländer 12mm/5,6 old version. My consideration was very simple: If the camera manages the corners in that lens - you all know about the magenta issue in the corners - i should be able to manage every wide angle Leica lens too. The result of my first shots into the sky with the 12mm is: It does! And - yes - I bought it. Best regards lik Of course I'll be testing it with Leica lenses too later and inform you about the results - if there's interest in that. Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted August 5, 2015 Share #4855 Posted August 5, 2015 CV 12/5.6 is less demanding than CV 15/4.5 v1 and v2 if memory serves. I have no experience with those lenses though. Smeared corners are expected at infinity anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lik Posted August 5, 2015 Share #4856 Posted August 5, 2015 Oh thanks - I didn't know that. Of course I know about the smeared corners and will have a look at this issue too ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lik Posted August 6, 2015 Share #4857 Posted August 6, 2015 Hi, I made some first shots with my CV 12mm, WATE 16-18-21, Lux 21 and APO Cron 50. Lux 21 - no smeared corners. To me in practice the lens is at the same IQ level on both bodies. WATE - I don't know why - I wouldn't call this smearing but the sharpness at 16 mm is better in my Leica M CV 12 - incredible, surprisingly good. This lens I haven't used for years - now it's worth to put it into the bag. APO 50 - remarkably sharper on the Sony than on the M. Even a comparison with medium format could become surprising... Of course visible CA with the Leica lenses on the Sony because the Sony - and therefore LR does not recognize them. Easily removed. I'm sorry not to show photos at this time - once I have the time to do the same job more exactly I will. This is just meant as a little help for the first considerations of those interested in that camera. I'm sure the professional reviewers in the web will confirm results like mine very soon. For me my first shots show enough to know what to do: Two mirrorless FF bodies (as I always had in my DSLR times) - M and Sony. For the easy going handling (easier manual focussing etc.) without highest resolution requirements - Leica M. And at least to me - the WATE only with M - I can't make this lens perform on the Sony. For high res. Sony. Don't ask me what I would do if I had to decide between the two - maybe waiting for a new M... Best regards lik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted August 7, 2015 Share #4858 Posted August 7, 2015 I too have the camera and have made some comments in this the Leica Q section http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/248626-the-q-vs-sony-a7rii/page-2 Basically I see no smearing improvement thought any edge colour cast has all but disappeared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
