The Zeiss Tessar 3,5/35mm used to be working successfully in the analogue YASHICA T4/T5! The tiny lens is center mounted into an plastic camera cover. Fully open, and no focusing, one has to move back and forward to focus the macro Image, approx. M. 1:2,5. It works fine, as you can see in this Image!

Wow! Can you share a picture of the A7 with the lens seen from the side? Just to see how small this is :)

 

Sure no problem is coming! But one must add an adapter to this tiny lens, because of the missing mirror box of the SONY A7. In my case, it is a plastic camera cover with an Contax camera bayonet mount. This little TESSAR is an typical 4/3 lens design.

 Ahh, a guy who knows about all kinds of lenses. How do you like the Macro Elmarit R 60 2.8?

 

 I am looking at it for perhaps a middle lens and a Macro lens, and it does seem to fill the bill.

If you have mounted it shorter, it would be possible to get to infinity on the A7.  I use a few 35mm lenses mounted for E in focus mounts.

 

O.K. but I must use an CONTAX mount for this combo! Ist just an nice little toy, because I have an M. 2:1 macro lens!  ;)

Nice Setup! But the firm ZORKENDOERFER is offering similar sets to be used with enlarging lenses. This is not new!

 

Thanks.

 

I know. Zork (push-pull, overpriced crap) adapter is only for macro.

 

The one show allows infinity (to ~30cm) focus. :)

Leica R 60 Elmarit is a very nice lens indeed. Absolutely delightful for everything from macro (you need the Leica tube to get down to 1:1) to landscape. Lovely colours, masses of detail, very smooth bokeh. Only 2 weaknesses: for a 60mm lens, it is not really fast, and it is quite heavy. IQ is top-notch.

mounted for E in focus mounts.

It's unlikely that a tessar can cover a format

whose diagonal exceeds the FL of the lens,

at distance focus. The macro application is

at enuf extension to increase the coverage.

      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.
