Long exposure NR on or off?

Except PZ lenses.

What Sony body are you using?

I've got an LA-EA1, LA-EA3, LA-EA4, MC-11, Viltrox III, and a slew of manual adapters, from Nikon F to an Argus C44 adapter I made myself. I have a pretty decent selection of A mount lenses - both ...

It will work, with no AF, manual (and somewhat imprecise) setting of aperture, and no EXIF. If you plan to get other older A mount lenses, an LA-EA4 is a worthwhile purchase. They look to go for ...

On the other hand, adapted lenses often work as well or better on an A7x than they did on the bodies they were designed for. This is particularly true of manual focus lenses. I have a Nikon Ai-S ...

Here are a couple of examples where my A7R2 found faces. I'm not too surprised for the first one, but the second one is really a stretch!

There's also the Chaika half-frame that commonly has an Industar 69. IIRC, that's a bit longer than the LTM39 registration. Typically people will modify the lens to allow it to reach infinity on ...

These are the type that I have. Not sure which size mine is, but it's for making slots in screws for watches. There are many watch screws that make those 2mm screws look like bolts. Hairspring ...

The way you cut a slot into a self-made screw is with a screw head file. Watchmakers use screw plates instead of dies, but the technique is pretty much the same - with the screw held in the plate ...

That's a great price and I think you could do great things with the a850. I wish I could find one for that price. I'd buy it in a second. I don't necessarily agree that the AF on the a6000 will be ...

You need a K in there. Audio these days is mostly 24/96 (as in 24bit at 96KHz per channel). Although some is 192K or even 384K. CD Red Book (standard audio CD) is 16/44.1K. 44100 samples per second ...

With the electronic adapters, though, you get the benefit of EXIF and automatic setting of IBIS focal length assuming the EF adapters on the lenses are chipped.

I suppose. SLRs came to be because they provided an accurate and economical way to move closer to WYSIWYG. Same lens and nearly the same FOV for composition and image taking. Mirrorless is really ...

Didn't read the whole thread, so this may have been covered before, but the main draw that I see Canon likely to provide is Magic Lantern. I have a decent amount invested in adapters and a few ...

It is hard to tell, though. I'm 0/3 on KEH lens purchases. All three lenses looked mint or near mint, but all three had internal problems. Two Canon FDs needed infinity adjustment, and the Nikon ...

It occasionally comes up for sale for $100 less. At that reduced price it's a much better choice than the other low priced adapters I've seen. You could maybe try a Viltox IV if you can get it from ...

Doesn't seem to me to be something to worry about. I'll look at photos at 100% when I'm processing them, but not when I'm viewing them. Also, IME, a lot of the decent older lenses are just fine for ...

I see what you did there. :-) Leaving the p out of compressed because it's lossy compression...
