Hello together, a couple of days ago I used my old Tamron lens on my Sony A7 II, I turned off the Automatic APS-C detection on the menu to still be able to use the complete image sensor area of the camera. Using a Commlite EF to E-Mount adapter the autofocus speed is okay, although it's not as fast or reliable as on the Canon 70-200 f4.0 I'm using, too. I was positively suprised about the sharpness of the lens, even when shooting wide open. Of course there is a large black area on the outer edges of the sensor but depending on the use case this might not matter much, which I would like to show you here. Lacking a tripod that niht I had to put the camera down on the ground on the camera bag. It's 15 seconds exposure at f4.0 with ISO6400. Post processing involved: +1 EV more contrast lights up, shadows down white up, black down some clarity and a slightly steeper graduation curve (30,15,-15,-15) a little bit of sharpening and no noise reduction ... That's it:
