Using A Nikon 70-200 with an A7RII, sharp in the viewfinder, but the photo was

blurry?

I had this lens attached to my Sony. I have an adapter. When I would focus and it was sharp in the viewfinder. The photo turned out blurry. Any ideas on my issue?

I was thinking the adapter is off or something? Any Thoughts? Thanks!

The lens was set on Manual, Full, VR Off and tried normal and active.

Since you are using a 'dumb' adapter, with no electronic contacts, the stabilizer in the lens won't work. Also, you need to tell the camera's Steady Shot function the focal length you are shooting at, otherwise the camera's stabilizer won't be able to work correctly. Being a zoom lens, you need to adjust that setting whenever you zoom to a different focal length. Or, you can turn off the Steady Shot function and shoot without it, if you've got steady hands.

Here's the relevant info from the camera's manual...

Also, if you're not already doing it, you'll should consider using the focus magnifier feature of the camera. It's really the only want to 'see' if you're actually in focus.
