I hope the upcoming FF E glass will also be conpatible with the APS-c bodies.



According to SAR, they're compatible like using a FF Canikon lens on their APS-C bodies. The Zeiss 55mm f1.8 is close to being a 85mm equivalent on an APS-C Sony NEX.

Seriously thinking of getting the A7r to use with my EF mount glass...hopefully if they did improve high angle of incident performance for RF lenses, they didn't do it in such a way that they sacrificed performances of lenses designed for SLRs.

I'm curious to see the battery grip. I'm surprised this hasn't leaked, but was mentioned a few days ago and nothing else since. Guess we will see in a little while.

More details, please.

Ok, looking at these full images, are we sure this is going to work well with SLR adapters? The sensor looks bigger than the mount.

Hmm...that shot showing the sensor does look weird.... It almost has a fake look to it...like the sensor was photoshopped in.

It almost looks flush with the mount...that can't be right.

Does the VG900 handle SLR lenses ok? I just worry the angle from the mor distant register may result in vin getting from the mount on faster lenses.

Look at the sensor on the A7 and then the A7r, the sensor looks exactly the same....the light reflecting, etc. It looks like exactly the same sensor from a lighting perspective. I guess they could have shot the one and then places the other one in the same spot. But it looks almost too alike.

As far as I know, but I've never used one. The mount isn't any smaller than Nikon F or Leica M, but, because it is so close to the sensor, that mechanical interference is likely why the 50/1.8 is so large and requires a complicated design.

Here's a shot of the VG900 from CNET. Looks a lot different doesn't it?

Me thinks reality will be different than what we see in those posted shots

Best thing I see on these new pics are that it has 3 C buttons. That should allow ample customization. I guess I'll have to stay up late tonight to get my order in

Those pics of the A7 are a rendering, just like the VG900 rendering above. They'll be similar in real life.

It looks like they photoshopped a sensor into the whole rectangular area the sensor is sitting in. (Looking at an actual shot of a VG900.) I assume the A7/A7r will be the same....well within the mount.
