Sony a7 Q&As

I’m looking to buy a few prime lenses for my A7RV and my criteria is it has to be sharp, fast AF and in budget 😁 ideally anything under $700 each. Can be a third party lens as well.  I already own the Sony 85mm 1.8  and was thinking of either something around 20mm and 50mm thanks

Good evening iv just moved from Nikon D850 to Sony A7 R V  and having an issue with the touch focus function .It is turned on but when touching the screen it moves to where i touched but focus . Focus is turned on in settings . On my Nikon it focused as soon as i selected where i wanted  . On the Sony im having to half press the shutter . Does this work differently from  the Nikon Touch Focus Thank You in advance

Hi everyone Anyone among you knows if (and how) it is possible to show in the viewfinder the precise focusing distance while focusing manually? TIA

I am searching a small MF wide-angle FL<=28mm for use with my A7 as a companion to my loved Jupiter-8 (50/2). Has anyone suggestions?

Will the 28-60 work on the A7 / A7R mark1 ? I am looking for a light weight FF setup for everyday carry.

I’m looking to get an A7cR but one of my requirements for a new camera is to have an intervalometer option, external as Sony doesn’t provide them internal. The A7C series of camera is a striped down, small form factor body that has eliminated the  S2 multi-terminal port on the side of the camera body that an intervalometer, or any other remote shutter, would normally connect to. Does anyone know a work-around for this?

I'm thinking about a device that would be controlled by the shutter button or back button. Ideally I'd need a 'Momentary On' signal that matches the shutter button half press or back button press. Any tinkers out there know if the hot shoe pins or any other outputs on the Sony A7 body (wired or wireless) can be used for this signal? Here is the pin schematic per Wikipedia. Pin 22 looks promising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_Interface_Shoe TIA

Hi, looking for a sharp , compact budget lens for my A7RV. I have the Tamron 28-75mm but find it for street photography a bit to big to walk around all day

How many have left Nikon for Sony recently?  Are you completely happy with the move or are you a little dissatisfied with the image quality? Any regrets ? I shoot with Nikon D4 bodies and Fujifilm.  My D4 bodies are aging and eventually I want to replace them with mirrorless.  I was thinking of upgrading to the Z6III when it came out and wanted to continue using my existing Nikkor AFS-G lenses.  Not sure if the AF adapter is worth it and if I will be completely happy with that set up.   The...

Issue Photography: I have created various black and white profiles for the SONY A7 IV. The export from Sony Edit is perfect and exactly how I imagined it: the photo in the viewfinder corresponds (essentially) to the final result. The problem: I do my archiving / cataloging in Lightroom. The steps are: 1) Import into LR, catalog (copyright, creator, keywords, ...) and then rate it. 2) I then export the best images as TIFF images via Sony Edit. So far, so good. Now I have to do the cataloging...
