One Journey, Two Cameras: The Sony A7r and the Leica M Monochrom

Fantastic photos.

 

I just can't like the A7 or A7r. I tried one and instantly hated it. The Leica is different and the MM images I keep seeing are making me consider one, as they just have such great contrast and detail.

 

For now, the M9 is my favourite camera.

For such an extensive and important trip, you were extremely brave taking a new untried camera as an all-round general travel camera. I doubt very much I would have done so. I enjoyed your pictures. Thank you.

Agreed nice images, thanks for sharing!

I'm just finishing up a 7 week safari and have been travelling with exactly the same kit- A7R and Monochrom.

 

I've had the following lenses with me:

R Lenses:

19mm Elmarit

28-90mm Vario Elmar

105-280mm Vario Elmar

280mm f4 APO

 

M Lenses:

12mm C/V

28-35-50mm Tri Elmar

 

I am really impressed with the seamless ease of swopping M & R lenses around on the A7r.

Hi Mike

 

Please could you elaborate on the use of M and R lenses on the A7®. Accessories, adapters etc. Also, does anybody know if there are adapters for M39 available.

Hi Tom,

I had previously changed the mounts on my R lenses to Sony Alpha mounts using Leitax mounts, as I was using them on a Sony Alpha 850 DSLR.

When I bought the A7r I purchased the Sony LA-EA3 adaptor which is an Alpha to E adaptor for my R lenses: Sony A-Mount to E-Mount Lens Adapter (Black) LAEA3 B&H Photo

 

I also purchased a Novoflex M to E adaptor for the M lenses: Novoflex Adaptor Leica M Obj. f. Sony N, NEX_LEM: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo

My LTM lenses have LTM to M adaptors attached and can be used directly on the Novoflex M to E adaptor.

 

If you want a dedicated LTM to E adaptor: Kipon Leica M39 LTM LM39 Lens to Sony E NEX Adapter NEX 5 6 7 5R 5T C3 F3 A7 A7R | eBay

 

I trust this answers your questions.

Best,
