The lens is nice with the EVF but I still prefer the Frankenfinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucisPictor Posted March 29, 2014 Share #27 Â Posted March 29, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I used to suffer from GAS, but mainly SLR/DSRL GAS. Then I was cured when I found "my perfect" set some years ago, EOS 5D & EOS 40D. Â The mirrorless cams have started my GAS again: NEX-3, NEX-7, Lumix GF3, Nikon1 V1... Â But just recently my GAS has been cured again, this time by Fuji. Â My Leica M8 now is my "second camera" I have to admit, my "first" cameras are the X-E1 and the X-T1. The EOS stuff is all gone. Now, I am very happy with what I have and feel no urge to buy anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted April 7, 2014 Share #38 Â Posted April 7, 2014 I've also lost track - I though your original conclusion was in favour of the A7 - but your latest link is to the same page with what looks like the same conclusion, while your post above says the Sony is what you're going to sell. Have I missed something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted April 7, 2014 Share #39 Â Posted April 7, 2014 Er - either my ipad was jumping to a older cached version of your page, or you've just updated the link - I can now see your revised conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plewislambert Posted April 9, 2014 Share #40 Â Posted April 9, 2014 " I am sort of considering a pre-ASPH 35 Summicron-M to pair with my 75 Summilux but at the moment the 40 Summicron is OK, and the idea of a WATE still floats around in the back of my head." Â Is there anything wrong with the images produced by the 40mm Summicron? I have been thinking of replacing my 40mm with a late 35mm Summicron pre-asphere but don't know whether the benefit would be clear in practice. Should I go to the expense of renting such a 35mm for a week? Thanks:) Philip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
