Review of the A7R II on Dutch website Pixelmania.
Here is a quick look at the SLR Magic 50mm F1.1 E mount lens for sony FE at Alexk.com.
Sven: “It’s not a rumor but a review I want to share: having used the RX1RII for a while now & I’m pretty stoked: http://blog.svenkraeuterphotography.com/2015/sony-rx1rii-review/
I know it’s not an alpha officially, but it’s a pro grade mirrorless & I know you kind of think the same ;-).” Editor’s note: You are right 🙂
Pat: “This holiday time lapse video made with the a7r2 was in the local news. http://kxan.com/2015/12/18/time-lapse-view-of-trail-of-lights/“

>With all that said, is adapting DSLR lenses really worth the effort, time and investment?
>For me, it is more a No rather than a Yes. The only lens I could really consider from the list above is the 150-600mm C if I were to shoot lots of wildlife. But then I would also consider buying a Canon 6D to simplify my shooting combo.
Figures. Why waste $400 on an adapter and use lenses “with some degree of compatibility”, if you can simply use a native body. The whole “adapted lenses” BS story is for the people who already own the glass.
Yes and many people have jumped ship to Sony over the past few years, and a lot of them retained their Nikon / Canon glass. I do think that the tester may have had much better results using A Mount lenses on an LA-EA3 adapter, than Canon on the Metabones. Also in the next few weeks we will start to see the results of the first Nikon adapter, which may or may not change things again.
We will see. For fun or landscape/architecture work I can see this a very nice thing. But when working with clients and during weddings, I don’t want to rely on adapted lenses at all. Too risky for us.
