Hans: “Today I tried the Techart EOS-Nex III (Falcon lite) connecting A7R Mark II and Canon EF 500/4 Mark II and AF settings. Was happy about how it works. Some details in the album on Flickr. The adapter seems not perfect, but it is working fine, the best I ever had. www.flickr.com/photos/autorenphotographie/albums/72157660415977290”

David: “Just wanted to share some of my recent photography from my A7 and a Canon FL 55/1.2 lens I picked up not long ago. This old Canon is probably the most affordable 1.2 lens out there but I have found my copy to be an excellent performer. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to shoot fast, standard primes wide open as I do.

Benjamin: “I don’t know if this something you would be interested in posting or not but I recently shot a 2 min film about the over use of connectivity through devices.
It’s a film I  shot to enter into the Sony competition to win an FS5. I shot majority of the film on the a7s and it features some pretty sweet low light scenes.  https://youtu.be/JzKwZ2Nt1cQ”
