I am Long time Nikon user that recently picked up an A7 to mess around with the numerous classic lenses I have from the film days.
I am having a great time with my new "rangefinder" A7 and manual focus lenses. No problems with MF, have C2 set as magnifier, works well.
I did get a couple of AF lneses, but struggle to find the best AF settings to use with the camera. I have face detection turned on, and find that to work OK with one person in the pic. But, I have no idea what the camera will pick to focus the 28/2 lens on otherwise?
I have the AF/MF button figured out, but do I really have to go to a menu to move the central spot arond?
Can anyone post links to good AF tutorial sites for the A7? Thanks.

Oh, duh, once in MF, the dial then moves the spot around. OK, but I still have a lot to figure out about the AF in the camera.

I have the 28mm f2 as my only native lens on my a7 and usually i rely on picking a centre point and recomposing however, if you press the AF point selection which is the bottom button on the command dial. Once its pressed i am able to the use the 2 dials on the grip and back that usually control exposure to move it. Its a pretty uninspiring method but I just got used to it.
