Suggested new Sony A7 for video lenses


Recommended Posts

I am now shooting with both a Canon 5Diii and a Sony A7ii. Love them both for different situations. As a video person, who does professional shooting for Pro league Lacross and Hockey I am spoiled by the reach and flexibility I have with the 20x zoom lense with a 2x extender on the professional broadcast camera I use. I would like to see some of theat capability on my Sony A7ii camera and I do believe it would be possible. I found an adaptor that allows me to mount my Video zoom lens on my Sony A7ii, but of course even in the crop mode it does not cover the sensor., In this day of increasing sensor density I believe it would be possible to create a Sony A7 model with a 2/3 inch sensor that would be compatible with my pro video lenses. This would make a great compact video kit for wildlife videography that would not break my back getting into the field. I use GoPro cameras so I know it would not be hard to find a sensor that could be fit to a Sony A7 body. As there are already good Sony to B4 lens adaptors available all that would be needed would be the mounting of the smaller sensor. This could be further enhanced by adding an interface for the auto aperture and power zoom capability of the video lense. This would require a small battery and interface boxc. Sony, Are you listening?
