    Adapting Sony A7rII to Canon T/S 90mm F2.8 question

    The Metabones or Sigma MC11 are 2 possible. I use both on various lenses, but the Metabones on my 17 and 24mm TSE with the A7R2. I've not used my 90mm TSE for a long time but would happily use it with either.

    Adapter for Nikon shift lenses on a7rii yet?

    The PC lenses have electronic aperture control so although not AF you'll need the AF adapter from Commlite or Vello Why Nikon AF Smart Adapters for Sony E-mount Took So Long He talks about T/S lenses specifically nearly 1/2 way down "[UPDATE: 6/8/16 I can confirm that PC-E lens Aperture...

    Peculiar vignetting problem with SONY A7RII and native Zeiss Lenses

    Thanks for the update. I'd be interested if you have time to see what happens at some "typical" shutter speeds in daylight. To be honest I think I might have seen a colour cast like this using a 24mm Batis. Daylight and short exposures, no ND filter. I wouldn't have noticed the vignetting...

    Peculiar vignetting problem with SONY A7RII and native Zeiss Lenses

    Any update from Sony yet? You could try a pretty simple test to see if it's a firmware bug that's baking in a bad profile/vignetting to the raw by breaking the connection to the camera so that the A7RII body doesn't know the lens (and hence can't identify a profile). You could do this one of 2...

    Older metabones EF to E with A7rII issue

    I returned a MkIII to MB but had them switch it for a MkIV T (at added cost of course). Well worth it as I can now update the FW myself.

    Interested in starting Astrophotography

    James, it would be worthwhile adding what the final intent of the images is going to be; ie web, print, large print. In any case one of the A7 series bodies will do fine, go for the A7R2 if you want to print large, and given you have an MF system I suspect that is the case. The UWA 2.8...

    Big Hasselblad anouncement on the 22nd.

    A new chip is hellishly expensive to design and make. Even minor tweaks to an existing design needs a large # of engineering man-hours, and a full set of reticles is in the $millions. A 33x33 would make no sense given the Sony 33x44 is out there. Much more sensible to create a very good...

    Big Hasselblad anouncement on the 22nd.

    Here's mine ... I know we've all seen these comments before but I thought it useful (perhaps just for me :) ) to put them together. "in the case of one wholly new model in particular, photography fans will be over the moon" Jonathan Margolis "still has plans to open up its professional...

    Useless (or very inferior at least) focus magnifier on A7R2

    What Windows machine or Surface Tablet works best...

    I use a tablet (android) to wirelessly fire my A7r2. I'm not sure you can control it from a PC, just download images (which I've not tried). The help guide is worth checking but I don't see a wireless option. I think Capture 1 may have tethered control ... Help Guide | Top As far as "good"...

    Venus Optics 12mm full frame lens

    They released a 15mm macro with shift a while ago. There's a thread on FM but no user images yet. Interesting images through the link though... http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1372179/0 The 12mm will be interesting to compare to the (slower) VC when it arrives...

    New 55 PN film

    Thanks Carl. One of the reasons I decided to try the New55 was to get my 4x5 out again. I have 3 left over boxes of TMAX100 Readyoad and a few months ago bought another 4 boxes. The plan is to develop (pun intended) a project to use it on over a few months, likely next year. I spotted the...
