Hi everyone, 

 

This is my first post in SAF!

I've got the Fringer Contax N - Sony E Adapter (V2) for my A7RII and adapted a Contax N Planar 50mm 1.4 on it.

I enjoyed it so much with the accuracy and speed with assist of the PDAF system!

 

The bokeh is nice and feels more like a Zeiss (very personal comment). But the chromatic aberration is significant.

 

I've just had a holiday in Taiwan. I will share some of the photos here and more in my Flickr!

I'll have a copy of this lens (inherited) at home (and also an adaptor). maybe I should try it too.

btw, the girl in the 2nd last picture likes you. :)

 

the lens is great and I'm planning to get the NAM-1 adapter and some contax 645 lenses, especially the 120/4 Makro.

 

btw, the girl is a Taiwan TV show host actually.  :P

Great pictures. Well done! As the developer of fringer adapter, I'm glad to see that it helps you produce beautiful pictures. 

N50/1.4 is an excellent lens with high quality optics. I love it, too. C645 lens are even better. I got a 140/2.8 recently and enjoyed it very much shooting some portraits.

      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.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
