I got my a6000 for an upcoming trip and so far really enjoying it, particularly the ability to adapt my older Canon and Olympus lenses. Some questions however... when shooting in the studio, the exposure is set for my strobes and usually something like f8 and 1/125th. For my manual (e.g. Olympus) lenses, this renders the viewing images extremely dark and makes manual focusing quite difficult. This is logical since the camera doesn't "know" about the strobes and sets the viewfinder to match the modeling lights. Is there a work around? same for color temp. Shooting in the studio temp is set for strobe but since the modeling lights are tungsten the preview in the finder is much too yellow. My canon lenses can only be used at maximum aperture since they don't have a manual aperture ring. I've read awful reviews of expensive adaptors that autofocus very poorly... do they at least connect to enable aperture control? Thanks!
