p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Canon FD 28 2.8 on my A7 - First shots, mini review... | |
This is my first experience with legacy glass on the A7. I have used MF lenses before, all the way back to a view camera in art school...
Thanks to everyone who helped me find a nice wide piece of legacy glass. The 28 is a really nice wide FOV for me. 50 seems to be about how I see, so the 28 is really refreshing.
The 28 2.8 is nicely sized, with the adapter its about the same as the Zeiss 55 1.8 on the A7.
It took me a few minutes to figure out how to set the adapter so that I could use the aperture on the lens, its not the worlds most intuitive thing on the adapter, but 1 minute later, we were off and running.
Focus throw is nice. The MFD is about 1 foot, which is nice as well.
Using a MF/Legacy lens on the A7 is really cool, since you are effectively looking through the sensor at the image you are about to capture.
Focus peaking is a godsend.
I really liked using the tilt out screen and shooting waist level....
All of these have a little PP on them, but for all intents and purposes are representative. The panoramic is a 2 shot stitch.
C&C welcome.
Anyway, enough of my yappin'.... lets boogie!
