pridbor Posted June 26, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well here I am again with maybe the stupidest question of the day, but: Oops I must confess to also having bought a Sony a7rii with adapters for both R and M lenses, and that's where my question lies: why does the Cron come out so dark, or what am I doing wrong in this not apples to apples comparison? Now the whole idea was for me to make use of all my R and M lenses on a digital camera, while shooting film when my mood so dictated. The darkness made me a little apprehensive towards the use of these lenses, so please tell me that I'm doing something wrong such that I can regain my faith in the red dot :-) Thanks Preben This one was taken with my, from my R3 days, beloved 50mm Summicron @ Aperture 4 Welcome, dear visitor!

jip Posted June 26, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2018 Try shoot both at 5.6 at 50mm to get a faithful representation of the differences. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted June 26, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 26, 2018 Earlier this year I bought a Sony A6500 (APS-C) and (mainly out of curiosity) have tried my R lenses (35, 60, 90mm - all Elmarits plus my 21-35mm Vario) and even tried the 90mm + 2x Extender-R. I already had the Leica R to M adaptor and as I am morel likely to use my M lenses with the A6500, I bought the Novoflex NEX/LEM adaptor and piggy-backed the two of them. No issues at all. A few quick test-shot examples in one of my Flickr albums. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
