A7 a revolution?

[dcsang]

I am at the point where I just may give up on the M240 and use the Sony for digital - keeping my M7 for film (which is where I really love what I get out of Leica).

I think Sony still has work to do on the A7 series of cameras (menu system, ergonomics, layout) but I think, for the most part (and for me), it seems to work well. To each his/her own.

Cheers,
Dave

That's the thing I noticed too when I tried one.
But absolutely no mention of it by the major blogger$$ who claim it is the be$t camera ever.
It's what prevented me from buying one.

I think its because many of us are used to it in EVFs and it no longer bothers us.

It's been a little over a year since I switched. I wrote about my journey a few times and here are some of my images shot on a7R. I love the camera, but it took me a while to get over all the variety of film lenses I could put on the camera and all that other stuff. So in my experience it's an unbelievable camera that produces (in my opinion) more solid images than a dSLR.

Your post-processing style really works for these images. I like it.

If Sony (and Zeiss) continue to develop lenses that are similar to the new 35mm FE Distagon.. then it's going to be very hard for other lenses to compete - even if they're manual focus Leica lenses.

not. 🙂

The FE is a perfectly nice lens, though huge. But I'll take the real thing anyway: ZM35/1.4

There are also tons of examples on flickr to show why. Considering all the struggles and serious quality issues, with many decentered lenses and very poor warranty support on Sony Glass, I don't think Leica, Nikon, or Canon are shaking in their boots on the glass front.

Sony has utterly hamstrung themselves with the thick sensor stack, and choices for top performance are very limited compared to LNC.
