Can you explain how to set that up and use it? Sounds great. (I assume it's the same for the A7rII.)


Sorry, I meant A7rII! That's what I have. Set the settings (IBIS FL, ISO, etc.) you want and then go to Memory (Not Memory Recall) in the Menus--the last entry on page 9 of the Camera Menu. Then move right or left through 1, 2, M1, M2, M3, M4. And select the one where you want those settings saved.

1 & 2 are on the dial. And then M1-M4 can be selected just by turning the dial to 1 or 2, which pulls up Memory Recall.

So you can have six FL's for IBIS set in the Camera Memory slots. For myself, I have 12mm, 21m, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 180mm.

I changed over from the Canon 5DII to Sony A7 with a load of OM Zuiko lenses, from 21/3.5 to 200/5, and in every case I prefer the results and use on the A7, and haven't seen problems with the Sony sensor stack.

However, I would not advise the Kolari mod for the OM 21/3.5.

I had a Kolari thin IR filter mod done for my Infrared A7, and the results with my 21mm OMs deteriorated (from use with a previous 1.5mm thick IR filter)! After lots of testing and conferring with Kolari, we decided the problem was due to field curvature introduced by their thin filter, it's very pronounced with an early "silver-nose" OM 21/3.5, but less with a late mc 21/3.5, so Olympus must have tweaked their design.

Anyway, by careful focussing between the centre and edge, I've found I can just get back the results I had with the 1.5mm IR filter, but it's a pain!

So, if the OP is noticing poor corners with his 21/3.5, on the Kolari modded A7, he may be able to improve them by doing the same.
