Hobbies have too much depth now

I 2nd this. Buy an old Sony Nex or Fuji mirrorless and slap a vintage Nikon or Canon MF lens on it from the 70s-80s via a $9 adapter. When i bought my A7Rii new a decade ago, I didn't have the money for the 1st party lenses available and so I exclusively used Fujica and Minolta SR mount lenses for t

Bought an MD Rokkor 50mm 1.2 recently. A lot softer than I anticipated. Pretty sharp. I prefer the mc rokkor 1.4 i have over this but still love it nonetheless. Swipe for samples.

I have an MD 50mm f/1.2 and its plenty sharp when used on my Sony a7R II: https://flic.kr/p/2njCnmj

Is Sony color that bad?

No. Frankly I prefer the colour I've seen from the recent Sonys to that from the Canons. I find Canon is always biasing warm, while the better Sonys just have a healthy colour, without being biased. There was an era of Sony where colour was iffy, the a7rii in particular, but that was 11 years ago no

No more DLSR scans for me!

I had several film scanners in the past - among them a Nikon Coolscan 8000, a Reflecta MF5000 and last but definitely not least an Imacon Flextight 646 (good old times around 2010, when professionals sold their equipment dirt cheap, because they all switched from film to digital). I sold the Imacon,

Summer every day carry

Using the magnify button to punch in for focus helps, One of the benefits of mirrorless is you can get cheap adapters and very cheap quality lenses. I use my E-PL1 with old Prakita/Pentacon lenses, Have not spent more than £30 on a lens, 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.8 and 135mm 2.8. Its a cost effective way to

Your favorite small, wide angle prime lenses that use small adapters?

If I want to travel light I use the Voigtlander 12, 15, 35mm (with Canon 50 and Leica 90mm). They are all small and pocketable even with a Sony A7RII, just need bigger pockets, there is also a Voigtlander 25mm that would be a small combo, if you are lucky you should be able to get one with an adapte

Blue Heron at Sunset in Sequoia Hills

Sony a7rii with a canon 200-400mm zoom lens. It's a beast to lug around with the adapter but I love the extra reach on the zoom.

Anyone Switch From an A7IV to a Z6III or Z8?

I have beaten this drum to death by now but I went A7R2 -> Z7II w/Viltrox E-Z for about 4 months. Mid June sold the Z7II for a Z8. I shared your sentiment for disdain towards spending a metric ton just to shoot decent FPS on Sony, not to mention CFe A vs B. Ultimately it was a mix of that, having to

Passage du Micro 4/3 au plein format : Sony A7 IV en ligne de mire, besoin de vos retours et équivalences d’objectifs

Je te comprends. Je suis passé de MFT (Olympus) à FF (Sony), puis retour à MFT (Panasonic) pour la compacité, et là je suis en APSC (Fuji) qui est je trouve un bon compromis qualité/encombrement (mais j'ai énormément hésité à revenir vers Sony). Le passage d'Olympus à Sony a apporté énormément pour

Huge upgrade from Plustek scanning

Agree, my current set up consists in a Sony a7rii (which I picked up on eBay for really cheap) and a vintage Vivitar 55mm f2.8 macro with the Valoi Easy35 v1 and the results are mind blowing!
