The New A7r II has the same image stabilisation bug as the A7 II had (before the firmware update)

 

Didn't think I'd need the firmware update for the A7r II so soon but still blown away by this fantastic camera, outstanding two days in.

I hope I get my A7RII this month. I have four lenses that I want to use with this camera mainly:

1. Minolta AF 2,8 / 16 mm Fisheye + Sony Adapter LA-EA4,
2. Sony / Zeiss FE 2.8 / 35 mm ZA,
3. Sony / Zeiss A 1.4 / 50 mm ZA + Sony Adapter LA-EA3 and
4. Sony FE 2.8 / 90 mm Macro G OSS.

Can someone tell me whether the two Sony adapters are recognized as third party lenses or not?

Thank you for your efforts!

I have the LA-EA3 and the LA-EA4 both work fine on the new A7r II.

LA-EA4 for older Sony/Minolta AF lenses with no motor built into the lens itself and the LA-EA3 for the more modern Sony AF lenses with there own motor drive in the lens.

I have a large collection of Old Manual Minolta lenses, using these with third party adapters on the A7r II I have found the in camera stabilisation does not alway kick in!

The A7 II had the same issue before its firmware update.

 

There is a work around by switching lenses back and forth but hope Sony fixes this issue sooooon! :)

A7r II is a super camera but I'm only four days in.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
