Thanks Phillip for starting this thread; some nice images here.  I have had a number of wonderful Minolta lenses and regret parting with most of them--particularly the MD 85mm f/2.  I still have the MC Rokkor 58mm f/1.2, so I though I would throw in a casual portrait taken with that lens on my A7II.

I agree, these old Minolta lenses are beautiful to work with.

 

I am using them for 40 years now and never had a reason to complain :-)

The performance of the 135mm f/2 is outstanding even at fully open and it is extremely sharp. There are minor chromatic aberrations, easy to correct in LR. It is the heaviest of my lenses, but by far my favourite. With the A7, it is a perfect match, beautiful to handle.

I like this portrait very much. Taking pictures is like skiing - sometimes you see people with old and worn-out skiers skiing like young gods and others with brand new expensive high tech skiers trying to do their best. Of course, looking at the world cup, it is nice to watch those guys having the best skiers combined with the best skills.

    • i said the lens, Sigma DG DN sports 70-200 FE, the lens is fast enough to track most small birds coming at you or flying away, but the camera seemingly does not want to track   it also does the same with my Sony lenses on LA-EA5 adapter.   I always do birds at f/4 and 1/5000+ and no stabilizer   Thanks for the link on BIF, I will check it out and show results  
    • You must be. I have an A7 IV and an A1, and while the A7 IV isn't nearly as fast as the A1, it is actually more tenacious. I have never had a problem with any kind of action shooting at all. Conversely, I had an A7R III that I loved, but the AF was so far behind the A7 IV I had to give it up.  I also had trouble with Ambassador settings. Without naming any one in particular, I found most of them to be useless.  Have you ever checked out Mirrorless Comparison? This post has rankings for many different cameras. The A7 IV is ranked very high and in some excellent company:

        Here's a link to the post. You can also poke around the site and find a full review along with his settings for A7 IV BIF, if that helps.   The Best Mirrorless Cameras for Birds in Flight Ranked - Mirrorless Comparison   As to what's causing this, no way to know without knowing every setting, which lenses, etc.
