Hello Sony Alpha Forum, My first post as a brand new newbie. I am in the queue at B & H for a Sony A7R II and my Loxia 50mm F2 is on its way from Japan. So although this first post mentions a potential, emphasis on potential, problem with the new version 2 of the A7R, this is NOT a troll. Please have a look at: diglloyd.com the main blog page. This issue of poor view on the EVF with manual focus lenses (while acquiring focus, if I understand) appeared yesterday Tuesday, August 4, probably late in the evening. Already somebody else has reported that the OP might have set his camera incorrectly. This is major for me. I sold my d800e last year, just before Photokina, and lost over $1500 on what I had paid for it only 2 years earlier. The fundamental reason for this fire sale: poor live view. This was fixed with the d810, but Nikon -by not issuing a firmware update on what I found to be such fundamental a problem- had definitively lost me as a customer. I only use manual focus lenses. So this post is addressed to people who are lucky enough to already have the camera and use manual focus (even better if you use a Loxia) and have their comments. Again this is really major for me, so any answer much appreciated. Frank
