On another note, that Voight 4.5/15 ver.2 looks really nice (even got some sample pics on the previous page IINM). Small and cute. A shame the mirrorless "adjustments" on the v.3 made it a lot bigger.

If i am not wrong, V2 got heavy vignetting and color smear at the corner issue on A7 camera
V3 is optimized for digital full frame sensor.

yup, red shift in a7 and a7r, only usable on a7s. not sure about a7ii.

Better not try since you already paying that much of money, even the flaw can be corrected in post process, but still.
Get v3 instead.

Remember to get the VM-E Close Focusing Adapter, it helps to focus REALLY close!

I don't really mind coz even IF (if lol) I get it it'll go on the A6000 primarily lol. Still no plans to go FF for now - I went mirrorless for the size reduction lol.

Unless, that is, Sony decides to do a humpless A6 FF cam ler.

Ahh... if APSC then not a problem smile.gif Buy Buy Buy!

If I mount SEL24F18z on A7 on crop mode, would I be getting "almost the same' DOF as mounting SEL35F14z on FF mode? Aperture keeping at F1.8.

Since the 24mm will be 36mm equivalent on crop APS-C mode and the 35mm will be on full frame mode.
*
DOF = Depth of Field.
You will not get the same even both set to 1.8.
FF lens DOF will be more shallow than the APSC lens = more bokeh effect in FF Lenses

Its not something I can explain really well (with the 2 photos I linked) but the most noticeable is that Loxia's bokeh has a more prominent ring to it while the FE55 doesn't. I'm trying to get my hands on a FE55 to make a side by side comparison which can clearly show the difference of both lenses.

Meanwhile, some shots of the Victoria State Library:

need converter right?? still can use AF?

Canon FD and all old legacy lenses are manual focus.
You need FD-E adapter to use Canon FD lenses on Sony A7 and other E-Mount body.

Oh yum. Fuji colours for the A6000 AND NEX5T!

Thanks Bro... except it seems I can't download them. Anybody care to rehost the A6k and N5T S5Pro profiles somewhere else (like Google Drive or D-box)?

cyclone9 For FF, and if you can only have one lens, of course the FE1635 - it's plenty wide for Landscape and 35 is the perfect (for me anyway) FL for streeting.

That said, personally I'd take the FE28 but I'm just partial to bright and small primes.

Yes, I will get the FE28f2 as well.

Thx a lot for the info. Really helps me decide.

I'm in Sibu and the Sony centre here don't have any lens testing sad.gif

I just went there to ask about a7ii. Apparently don't come with kitlens, which itself cost rm 1999!!!! In garage sales, I saw a7ii with 2870 for something like rm800 extra. And they don't have the kitlens, 2870, fe55 or fe28 in stock!!!!

Thx for the advise on flash too. Think I will take you advise and get the smaller flash.

Ok, at the moment, I think it will be a7ii with 28f2 and 55f1.8 with the smaller flash.

Nissin i40 small flash is good smile.gif

Thanks, i was wondering about filter as well.
Now i get to know what brand/type filter to use more. XD

Protection filter need to make sure you get those branded and high quality one, which is not cheap.

If get those cheap one, it degrade your image quality.

For me, I can't afford high quality filter, therefore I never use Protection filter.
