Hello

I tested the Contax G 90/2.8 on the A7r, compared to the Minolta AF 100/2.0

I hope Zeiss will soon make a Loxia version of that lens.

I own both the 90 f2,8 and the 45mm. I used both a few times and are very good lenses.

I see a difference in colour with the contax lens. have theyr own cast.

I put a metabones adapter on each of them to change lens fast, and got an Autofocus adapter that works apparently better (faster)than a Canon lens adapted.

The autofocus adapter fails to connect sometimes and needs to do it again. I´ll pay more for a better quialiy one if it exists.

is not faster but works, it takes a second or two to focus but it is easy than the manual adapter.

My camera was an A7 MKI and I sold it a week ago. I would like to position again with a better body before investing more in that mount.

So I own loads of old different lens waiting for a decision on follow the Sony way or return to Canon stuff.

I did not follow the 28mm adapt route. 28mm is boring to me.

I preffer the Minolta 28mm adapted or any other lens.

the 35mm is not on my list as I use a summicron instead.

I hope Sony launch a new model with a better "angle" sensor.

Friends with the contax system are asking me about to buy a Sony A7--XXXX body.

I am going to pass them that review. Thanks for posting.

All the best to you.

      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.
