Nope: - too expensive - not a super fan of 40mm FL, I'd rather had a 35 F2 all the time - hate those angular bokeh balls even wide open that are shown in most of the samples

Totally agree, using the MC-11 with the Canon 100F2 to great satisfaction as well, is a surpisingly good lens for the price, besides being very compact and lightweight, perfect for an A7 body. It ...

Yeah, probably not all will be FF, but let's say it's reasonable to assume that at least half of them will be, especially now that Sony has to face some real competition in the FF ML sector. It ...

That interview is from April 2017, how many A-mount announcements have been in the meantime? I'm sorry for who is heavily invested in A-mount glass, but I just don't see any future for it, just the ...

Seriously, with all the outstanding FE glass that is now around, is there really anyone that thinks that Sony will still invest resources in an adapter that should be used with a lens line that ...

Yes they can be modified, but really do not get too excited about that, apart being quite expensive, they will make the camera very fornt heavy and they are very bulky, so will totally defeat the ...

Well, guess your perseverance was rewarded at the end, guess I'd would have given up much sooner than you did.. Glad at the end you managed to have a working camera! Maybe we can now write to the ...

Yes, is expensive, but the 12-24 for me is an exeptional lens, sharp across the frame and contrasty, the pics really "pop" in a Zeissy way to my eyes. And it's even quite diminutive and light for ...

The sensor might be "old" but it's still best in class as far as DR is concerned for example (same as the A7III basically), and ISO performance is definitely still more than acceptable for me (of ...

Totally worth it, even the very first model, that lens paired with a still quite capable FF sensor will give you a lot of magic that for me is still unmatched by any other lens/sensor combination ...

It really depends what you intend to do with the lens: if only in AF-S with more or less static subjects or landscapes, it SHOULD work quite good, based on my experience with MC-11 and other Canon ...

Well quality of bokeh in general (of which the bokeh balls are in important and integral part) is one of main quality when assessing a lens, espcially a prime that is meant to be shot a lot wide open.

Silent shutter (and E-front curtain alone as well) will even affect the quality of your bokeh at shutter speed of 500ms and above, and in some situation can even possibly materially affect your ...

I don't think your Tamron 150-600 is going to cut it adapted via MB or MC-11, as it will be limited to 3fps bursts with AF engaged on all frames. You are better off selling it and grab a Sigma ...

Angular boken "balls" (they definitely aren't) wide open are totally unacceptable IMHO, I'd rather have some slight onion rings instead (like the 35 1.4) For me, that thanks to close-focus ...

If you are looking for the smallest possible, this could do the trick: http://store.tiffen.com/item/700-51S/Domke-F-5XA-Small-Shoulder-And-Belt-Bag/ But it will really be a tight fit ;)

You have to use your A9 for the purpose, as it is the only Sony body that is not limited to 3fps with the LA-EA3, there are reports even in this forum that it should work quite decently with that ...

As said many times, NEVER, EVER use AutoISO with flash (and not only on Sony), it simply doesn't work well along strobes, you are way better doing the old way if you are shooting indoors: Manual, ...

The 70-200 Tamron adapted is not going to cut it for gymnastics, even more so indoor, it won't just be speedy enough to keep you with those movements. Unfortunately a "cheap" 70-200 in the Sony ...

It definitely will be better but I guess not better enough to consistently track a troddler running around. Guess by going native you did the right thing for the purpose ;)
