Re: Official: Sony A7R V announced (pre-orders now available)
Anyone with both the A7rV and the A1, is the grip of the camera the same size as the A1 grip?
As Sony has developed the cameras the grip has gotten larger. When using a Cambo Actus with the Sony bodies with FF lenses with a helicoid focused at infinity and in the landscape orientation more and more restrictions have taken place for left shift. There is no issue with an A7r. I believe there may be some with an A7rII, though I have not tried mine. With my A7rIII there is some interference when using left shift with FF lenses focused at infinity. In the case of my A1 in landscape orientation with the Cambo Actus, the grip actually hits the rear standard which is where the camera mounts to the Actus. This prevents left shift in this orienation probably beyond about 4mm. It is not an issue in Portrait orientation or when using medium format lenses as they have a much longer flange distance. I believe that ther is also a problem when using some of my Apo Enlarger lenses like my Rodenstock 50mm f2.8 Apo-Rodagon N for left shift when focusing on infinity, particularly with my A1 in landscape orientation.
