Decisions Decisions
Hey Jono, I'd sell all, including the M lenses that don't work, and buy an a7r. Cull the M lenses to what works with the a7r, and purchase substitutes to fill in the blanks. The Leica digital body has been supplanted by better, cheaper choices (the a7r). The only reason to own a Leica is to... -

ACR 8.4 supports more Sony cameras/lenses
Ben, I'm curios if you've seen any real world (print) irregularities. Obviously, it's a concern of yours. In what manner is it manifesting? I've seen "jaggies" examples (from others). Highly magnified crops mostly. I've printed ~75 A2 a7r images in the 3 months I've had the camera. Examination... -

Wow! Is that thing ever loud!
I'm amused that some people are apparently threatened by such a small camera (why else post negative impressions (and more than once) of a camera one doesn't own)? Is the a7r shutter sound loud? To establish some relevancy, one first needs to ask "compared to what"? Here's a comparison video... -

Still have A7R questions after using for nearly a month
If one is shooting in ambient light, I can't think of a circumstance where "shooting effects" should be set to anything but "on". With the setting "on", one has WYSIWYG images, no histogram or chimping needed. If the ambient light is dim, push the exposure to add gain to the EVF to aid focusing... -

New Hasselblad HV (A99)
Sony allowed a lapse in availability on prior models, the a700 before the a77 was introduced, and I believe the a900 before the a99 was introduced. As it stands now, the vendors I deal with (Amazon, B&H, Adorama) have the a99 in stock. One may choose the body only, or one of several deal... -

New Hasselblad HV (A99)
Let's get the ball rolling! :D I've wondered. What's the target demographic for Hasselblad's re-branded cameras? Are there really that many low information consumers out there to make this venture profitable? On second thought, depending on the ignorance of the public has been politicians... -

Two Qs for A7 configuration
I'd love to see an updated firmware with a "max battery" option, with hot key activation. In addition to being able to turn the rear lcd off (rather than blacking it as is the case now), and the auto-review off, the option should include "airplane mode", which turns off the wi-fi. I have 3 Sony...
