Shaocaholica posted:So now that the A7 is out and lacks in body stabilization, have any 3rd party lens makers said anything about enabling in-lens stabilization for A-mount/E-mount lenses? E-mount has never had IBIS; A-mount does. It is a little annoying for the time being, but I think it's something that'll work itself out in time. Until then, you can buy a few A-mount lenses with stabilization from someone like Sigma (and use them with the LA-EA4 or w/e) that I believe work. For the most part, no one is making 3rd party E-mount lenses that cover a full frame image circle at all (barring some slapdash converts like Samyang's recent offerings). I think that'll change over the next year or so. As far as native lenses go, you've got the 24-70, 70-200 G, and 28-70 kit lens which all offer OSS. mediaphage fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Apr 14, 2014 |

I've resisted picking up an A-mount adapter thus far; I just picked up the A7r and FE55. My next purchase will probably be the 70-200G. After that, I'd want a good wide-angle and a macro, and that's pretty much everything I'd need for what I do. I'm medium tempted to pick up a basic Canon adapter and that wackyawesome MP-E 65 for macro work, though.

mr. mephistopheles posted:All the AF adapters for the A7 are wonky as hell and I wouldn't recommend them for anything serious. Either adapt manual or use native AF lenses, IMO. With the Canon and A-mount adapters you're just taking two great pieces of engineering and getting mediocre results. I definitely agree with the Canon/Metabones AF adapters. I thought that the nicer Sony A-mount adapters worked pretty well, though? I prolly won't use them since the whole reason for the A7 was to slim down a bit, but I've heard good things - at least for the LA-EA4, which basically gives you the A99 AF system, I think?

I think I could see the appeal of it on the RX1 - that's basically the A7, minus the hump. I don't really see the appeal on the RX100, though. Whenever I used the RX100, I never wished for a viewfinder; I was fine with the screen since it's so small. The LCD on the back of those things is bright as hell; I was able to use it in summer in Rome, outside, with no visibility issues. poo poo, while I do use the viewfinder on the A7r a majority of the time, I use the screen way more than I thought I would, simply because it's so much better than a typical DSLR clunky live view mode.

Grater posted:Arg! I left my a55 in a compartment in the back of my car, didn't realize it was also full of water. It spent 4 days soaking wet. Surprisingly it still turns on but autofocus doesn't work, among other general camera unhappiness. Have you considered just getting one of Sony's A to E adapters? Might be a reasonably affordable way to go - use your A6000 and keep all your A-mount lenses for the time being.

Grater posted:Yeah, I've been thinking about that, in all honesty it's probably the smartest decision for me right now. Perhaps it would be enough to get my by for now, then start saving for a full frame E mount instead. I really don't think A-mount is even close to dead. I mean, the A77II wasn't that long ago; I feel like they just really wanted to focus on FE to get it going. I'm thinking we'll see more A stuff in the start of the new year.
