A7RII pretty much not useable as a professional studio camera

[pss]

A7RII fw 3.30 with GM 24-70 and GM 85 is pretty much a manual focus combination in a professional studio setting at anything over f4....the iris does not open up before the shot is fired....

see thread in lenses:http://www.sonyalphaforum.com/topic/5591-iris-problem-with-85-14-and-24-70-28-gm-lenses/page-5

Thank you for posting this here, the topic on the FF lens category has been going for some time now and even though it has been read more often than any other, it still hasn't prompted any reply, fix or acknowledgment from Sony or their associated parties,

 

For anyone who's new to the Alpha A7RII camera & GM lenses, is professional and works regularly in a studio environment please do yourself a favour and read the above link, it could save you a lot of frustration, anger & disappointment before you commit to this system.

As you've noted, this is widely covered elsewhere

[link above] but worth the bump none the less ..... 

   

As a studio camera, one simple and convenient 

solution is the LAEA3 A-mount converter and a 

couple of A-mount lenses. Unlike converting to EF 

or NF lenses, you get the basic conveniences and 

using Sony's OEM converter involves no firmware 

voodoo nor compatibility lists :-) Acoarst there's no 

State Of The Art newest schnazziest features this 

way .... but we're talking studio here. If you need 

eyeball tracking AF for studio work, you are in the 

wrong bidnez.

Correct me if I'm wrong. 

 

If you switch to AF-S (instead of AF-C) does this fix the issue?

 

If it does work in AF-S does this not solve the problem?
