One of the most lenses with the best price/performance ratio, How does this compare to the FD 4/200? Brilliant thanks, I have done this and am getting much improved results already. it is a great camera but there is one issue with the focus magnification, it is very soft at 5x zoom wich is annoying. The difference isnt huge but if you use your lenses a lot (like I do) you will appreciate the difference. If you can teach me some method to improve the results, I would appreciate. The second point is in regards to you shimming suggestion. My first Sony Alpha was the A7ii, moving away from a Nikon D3 system and a Leica M9 in the interim.

Based on my experience, I would not advise anyone to buy used old lenses on eBay. Is there a way to set the view finder to remain visible at low light when setting ASA to manual at low settings? Exactly. As I understand it, using my legacy Minolta 50mm lens with an e-mount adapter on the Sony would be about the same as using a 75mm lens on my old XE-7 because of the difference between film full-frame vs the Sony sensor size. Thank you. I dont enjoy the rendering of the 2/50 APO too much, so you are asking the wrong person here. 2) the image stabilizer is overestimated by most. Seems to work pretty well. Getting gorgeous results so far using a nothing-fancy Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm f/1.7 and the Maxxum 35-105mm on my Sony a5000. Nothing wrong with leaving the adapter on the camera. Thank you very much Bastian for your feedback ! Getting started with an (Alpha) camera. I frequently switched between Sony FE lenses and third party manual focus glass as well as to Sony A-Mount with LA-EA3 and LA-EA4 adapters and to Canon EF glass with a Metabones Smart Adapter IV. I dont know any source which details these steps, I would recommend to just experiment a bit. On another note, I have both a Novoflex and a Metabones adaptor for my Leica R lenses. I like to recommend the Minolta 1.7/55 as first manual lensso well balanced and for me it stands for all the good qualities of legacy lenses.

How important is the wideangle side for you? By the way, clicking on your picture of the glass of beer it changes in a delicious cup of cappuccino. Or any result? Many modern lenses control the aperture through the camera. I dont know about your other uses for the camera but for that specific application I would not buy a fancy modern camera. I've assigned the AF/MF button to toggle between those modes, so I've assigned Autofocus to the AEL Button. So as an all rounder nature lens which which wont cost me the earth would you recommend? Do you use focus magnification or focus peaking? Go to the Gear icon and go to Menu 6, scroll down and select Custom Key Settings. I use focus peaking if I shoot quickly moving subjects were the image wont be super sharp anyway but in general I think focus peaking is quite over hyped. I am wondering if I have it on incorrect settings to experience this, please can you expand in the manual focus shimming proces to help my better understand it. Unfortunately I see it only at certain distances and focus magnifications. Excellent article, Phillip. i.e. Pick a subject with fine structures with some contrast like print or a carpet. I have been thinking of the FE 2/28 which although focus by wire would give me an AF lense for family photos and some street photography as well as landscape. On the other hand, the Nikon body is much more comfortable to hold and also heavier, so I found that it does not need stabilization as much as the Sony does. I bought myself a Sony RX100ii two years ago now I am retired as a carry everywhere camera to see if I could enjoy getting back into photography after many years of just carrying a point and shoot compact for holidays as my family grew up, whereas in my twenties and early thirties I had a really good Exacta then a Contax film camera and lenses and used to enjoy taking really nice images, particularly landscapes, but which I havent used for 25 years. If you have any questions or suggestions just leave a comment! Ive got several old Nikkors a 35mm F2; 50mm F1.4; 55mm F2.8 Micro; and 105mm F2.5. If you magnify a highlighted area you will often find that it is semi-sharp but it would have been sharper if you had used focus magnification. So sad that they are moving up in the ranks of competition with Canon & Nikon, yet their pro service is lacking in a huge way. Still, a clear advantage for the Sony. No idea, I very rarely use flash and when I do my old Metz usually works fine. I was thinking in manual lenses, of course, but i can afford a higher budget, but not enough to get a native Zeiss. 3) you will need at least a monopod (or a tripod), especially if the sun is not fully outThe ibis is thus less important. Great pictures and reviews! Thank you for your work here. Obviously, A7ii has got stabilisation, a plus, but I assume you have to tell the camera what focal length you are using (as it will not know) and the camera is quite heavier I wish I have the Leica SL EVF for critical focus. 3.Can I just keep one adapter mounted on the sony body and just mount nikon lenses on and off instead of having an adapter for every lens? Here is my selection of a three very different normal lenses you should consider to get started with manual lenses. Computer doesn't recognize the USB connection from a camera. If I was you I would probably buy an affordable manual lens like the Canon FD 2.8/35 and the FD 2.8/135 for a little more than $100 for both lenses and see how well they work for you. the site is not ready yet, Im working on the sample pictures.

When both printed at the same size the 42MP file will be at least as good, often better than the 24 MP file. So you would have lost very little. Could please share to us How can you do that ??? Thanks for the great review. The big problem with Sony FE system compared to fujifilm ,as I see it,is very expensive native lenses ore much more weight. 1. I will try with all my minolta lenses by focusing on a fabric (I take it you mean like a blanket or other cloth). One of them is a Tamron 70-300mm f/4-6.5 and I would like to know your advice about which lens to go, knowing that I travel a lot (Voigtlander primes are quite light), I like landscapes very much, and sometimes a 70 to 300mm range can be very useful (I remember nice close-ups of puffins in Iceland).
