"For a combination close-up and distance usage lens, it is a very good lens for the money. I have the Canon EF 50mm/2.5 1:1 macro. I used it for macro and distance. It is extremely sharp and sells...

Get real.

You can't carefully measure the exposure and avoid pushing the shadows by more than a stop for these high dynamic range shots.

If you're not going to attempt to capture the scene with...

This seems very odd for a camera that's flying off the shelves and getting pretty much universal rave reviews. Whenever I'm disappointed with kit I take a look at the results others are getting ...

This is not my experience on my A7. Wide open at f1.2 and minimum focus distance or anything like it you're not going to get razor sharp images and at close distances there's DoF to consider ...

I have Minolta Rokkor, Canon FD, Olympus Zuiko and Nikon pre ai which I use with Novoflex adapters or in the case of the Nikons just a cheap adapter I bought off evil bay. I use them because I like ...

Just Google for technical reviews and you'll find everything you need. This guy includes example shots and he says that it vignettes 1.4 stops... https://phillipreeve.net/blog/sony-fe-1-855-za-sonn ...

I have that lens and it's an outstanding lens. The vignetting is possibly a price to be paid for the compact proportions and is lets be honest pretty much a non issue in these days of on computer ...

Yup. You've got it. That's 100% correct :D I like using old film era lenses but I mostly use them on my FF Sony A7 so that the FoV remains the same and a 35mm or 50mm film era lens gives exactly ...

As already said... how the camera feels may not have very much to do with anything, apart from how you feel about it which does matter :D I have a GX80 and a GX9 and although they feel similar the ...

I've been a MFT user since the GF1 came out and currently have a GX80 and a GX9. I also have a Sony A7 which I ordered before they hit the shops. For MFT I have Oly 17, 25 and 45mm f1.8's, Oly ...

Why laugh? The correct answer is "It depends..." Let me explain... A mini SLR style MFT camera is about the same size as my FF Sony A7. It's near enough to make no real word difference what so ever ...

Now that shutter shock has been effectively eliminated from the latter cameras I think the most horrible thing now is the field sequential EVF. I do wish Panasonic would fit better EVF's to their ...

An excellent post and there's nothing I can really add as you included the fact that you can buy a Sony today but the Canikons haven't even been announced yet. I'm brand agnostic and I just don't ...

Yup. Some artificial lighting can be especially brutal but other than that I'll use any and all ISO's up to and including 25,600. I think it's also worth thinking about the final output and ...

I mostly use primes, 35 or 50mm, and my most used lens at the moment is my Voigtlander 35mm f1.4. Without getting into discussions about sharpness, micro contrast and bokeh which may be highly ...

I can't remember what the setting is called but look in the menu and/or read the manual and you should see something like "constant preview" or something like that... or words to that effect... ...

This is possibly as contentious and issue as depth of field or equivalence :D For anyone who wants to read up on the subject of diffraction I'm sure Google will provide multiple articles and links, ...

I'm a bit confused about what the OP wants. If the OP wants low light performance with a f1.4 lens you can get that with a native or adapted AF lens and when the light level drops too low for AF ...

WoW. You are lucky and I hope you give the lens some use that would make Grandpa proud :D

I've been using Novoflex adapters for my Rokkor, Zuiko and FD lenses but I recently bought a K&F for some pre Ai Nikon primes and I've been impressed with the build of the adapter, so much so that ...
