I tried some 36mp jpg files from my a7r. I have a powerful i7 computer and graphics card, but all the sliders (even just moving the exposure slide) are very unresponsive, Taking seconds to react...

@Charlie. My Old manual micro Nikkor 105mm mentions Ai :)

@nick. A lot of modern macro lenses reduce the focal length when you focus closer. This is to achieve 1:1 without enormous extension in the barrel.
My classic manual Nikkor micro 105mm f4 ais does...

Hi Rishi, Thanks for your reply.
Yes I know it is not the same as the infra red AF light of this article. The story was more to underline the mirror-less struggle for something similar that works.

Good to know that an expensive Leica lens does not solve the dreaded purple fringing either.

When I got my Sony NEX7, I struggled with focus inside the house when it was darkish. It was only after switching the AF Illuminator off, that it was able to focus reliably but slowly in dim...

@lawny13
"How about using focus peaking and a slight rack of the focus firing at 8-10 FPS on the a7iii"
Agree with this. I do this with macro with my manual nikkor ais 105f4 micro lens on nex7 and...

@skinippen. Above review states that the Z mount is not open source. Same issue as F-mount.

To be honest, I like the look. Actually, I like the look of most Fuji cameras. And this comes from a Sony shooter (Nex7 and A7R). If at the time of buying the NEX7 the Fuji aps camera had both...

@Fezhat. But sharper than some lenses.

I picked the Nikkor ai 105 f4 macro. This design works better on bellows when going beyond 1:1. It stays at 105mm even at close up and has therfore one of the longer working distances for a 105....

It has no a-peel.

And so are the cards.

@S Yu: I bought a lightweight hot shoe rangefinder for next to nothing. I used this only for close range and f4 or f2.8. basically overlap the double image till it was a single image. Read the...

Oh yes. I always had the Rollei 35SE with me. Shot slide film with it.
Even though focus was distance guessing, i had it setup in snapshot mode at f8 and was often quicker to use than my later...

It has been tested on this site on an A7lll.

Apparently quite good and good value.
I am not sure how the AF will perform on...

@brendon1000
Ah yes. It must have been a m43 camera.

If Sigma were to make an e-mount Foveon camera, the sales of their cameras would surely improve. If only to be able to adapt all sorts of exotic lenses for low iso landscape work. Not sure if there...

EVF in extreme macro with bellows, or in low light is so much better than OVF.
I put my canon fd 85mm f1.2 on my a7r and could focus on my horse in the paddock during the night. I could not even...
