Adapting your 35mm medium format lens would still leave it a 35mm lens :) Happy Thanksgiving.

Just curious - the A-mount f2.8 zooms are they really less capable when adapted to A7rii? I had thought AF and functionality are pretty much the same, but I may be mistaken.

EXACTLY !!! I hope these rumours of fast (translate: big, heavy, exepnsive) primes and zooms are false. Sony should concentrate on their strengths and release more lenses like the 55/1.8 and 35/2.8 ...

Size in itself is no problem. The adapter almost doubles the size of these tiny Contax lenses :)

That contradicts your initial desire for something in the 25-35mm range. I think you have all the knowledge and information you need, all you need to figure out is what you want :) So based on your ...

Very interesting for these detailed observations. Since you don't shoot wide open, I would have expected that stopped down all three lenses would provide pretty much equal excellence.

Yes, there are work-arounds. All of them are unsatisfying and cumbersome. On the other hand it would be pice-of-cake for Sony to include 1:1 option (as they have on some of their other cameras).

There are three parameters: fix two, let the camera choose the third. With auto ISO M-mode gives you the most control. Under good lighting situations (daylight) I use A-mode and let the camera ...

The most striking aspect of your photos is being at the right spot at the right time. They are all perfect in that regarding. Having a great camera to capture is is the icing on the cake, so to ...

If I shoot JPG it gets corrected by the camera. And if I shoot RAW it gets corrected automatically by LR or C1. Where is the problem? I too use legacy primes (mostly Contax Zeiss and Takumars), but ...

It's neither good nor smart. Read other comments in this thread to find out why.

How does this perform on A7rii ?

..

Here is an example of a different kind. Secondary reflections are irregularly arranged and more pronounced at f11 compared to f4. f11 f4

Amazing lens !!! Shooting straight into the sun gives stronger than expected secondary reflections though. Is this normal for this lens?

Either way works, the dedicated C/Y NEX adapters are smaller, weigh less and cost next to nothing compared to the metabones. I use a ROXEN adapter (eBay) with inbuilt helicoid to give the lenses a ...

Wow - jealousy strikes.... wish I could afford any of these, let alone both. Lack of crop mode is disappointing :( Since you have both: do you see any difference in IQ between your RX and A7rii ...

Excuse me, but it is not "mindless zealotry" as you put it (look in the mirror :) ) but it is simply my sincere opinion. I doubt flapping mirrors will still be around a decade or two from now. I ...
