Advertisement Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Hi samlee.hk, Take a look here Leica M lenses on Sony A7R2/R3/M3 thin filter Mod. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
kinch123 Posted July 29, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2021 A great article, thanks. Be interesting to see if the rumoured BSI sensor in upcoming M11 does as well as this. Meanwhile I'll amuse myself by imagining what my old M240 would have done with both the auto White Balance and Reds in your two sample images above. Have had some luck with adapted lenses on Nikon Z7, but a modded Sony takes the cake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted July 29, 2021 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2021 How does the Leica 35/2.0 ASPH version I perform on the modified Sony cameras? This lens was a no-go on my unconverted (original) A7R at the time with always unsharp corners and focus shift in the center image independent on the used aperture whereas its predecessor - the pre-ASPH version - works perfectly fine here.

6bit Posted July 29, 2021 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2021 Very nice writeup and photos. No issues with Sony glass after the thinning? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit softer on corners at f/2 perhaps but i would have to do side by side comparos to be sure. A7r2 mod, 35/2 asph v1, f2, OoC jpeg: Welcome, dear visitor!

I used fews Sony FE lenses like 50GM, 35GM, 24G, 40G, Batis 25/40/85... it seems to be normal , if u concern you can add UVIR cut filter to correct AWB Sony 50mm F1.2GM Sony 24G, 40G and 40G vs 35GM 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to tweak in PP but i never tried UV/IR filters so far. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharnak Posted October 3, 2021 Share #12 Posted October 3, 2021 Hi Sam, Thanks for sharing this interesting solution. I'm quited interested. I wonder After the mod, does it still works well with other sony native lens? Any negagive impact on that? And finally, how much would this cost? I have an old a7r2 that might be suitable for this.
