Had a chance to use the Sony a7S for a few days and realy liked it. Would buy one of the a7 models if there were a Nikon to Sony a7 adapter with an electronic interface.

Sony make very nice cameras but their support is dreadful.
Also when they bring out a new model they drop all support for the old ones so you camera may become unsupported after less than a year.


Sony lens range is not great.

Personally I would go for the Olympus cameras if they had a decent sized sensor. IMHO the 4/3 sensor is too small to produce great quality under low light and high ISO. Even APS-C struggles wheres my D3 and D3S are brilliant as is the D800 and D600.

Yes but then you lose the AF.  Also the Fuji lenses are just as good/better than the Nikon ones!

and I would say the Canon ones too.

Sorry about the link, I use Clipmate and must of had the wrong URL.:thumbsdown:


There are electronic adapters for Canon lenses to many of the mirrorless cameras that allow autofocus etc.

Following a barrage of eMails and PM's from JK, he has asked me to stand in for him while he is away. I have been in the shed all day wiring my new car. Apart from the odd snap and recording my progress with my car build, I haven't taken a single photograph so far this year.

Once the car is back on the road for the first time since February 1991, I hope to be using it to trundle about in the Lake District and further afield.

As for Fb my ex wife, who practically lives on Fb, sat me down over a coffee and spent well over an hour trying to explain to me what it does and I am still bewildered, I really can't see what it is trying to achieve, even less can I see any reason to engage with it. But then I don't have television or a telephone either, so I am probably beyond help.

Robert

One thing the car build is doing is creating local interest, I have a succession of visitors who call by to see how I am going on and to check up on my progress.

This is the sort of car I am aiming to replicate, roughly...



This was taken about a month ago.



I am not trying to build a replica, rather take some of the more appealing features of the Alfa Romeo style and re-create them in my own way.
