New video demo of the brand new Nikon F to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter (by Steel Chen)

Share

Steel Chen is working hard to further improve the new Nikon F to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter. As a reminder: This is not the Commlite adapter! It’s a new project which seems to work much better than the Commlite version.

Steel just sent me the link to his latest video shot on the A7rII with the [shoplink 43517 ebay]Nikkor 70-200 G I lens[/shoplink]. It really looks very promising. As usual feel free to add questions on the comment section. Steel will answer all your questions!

Something else for EU readers:

A51000 Gold Box at Amazon.co.uk.

A7rm2 versus future A7rm3…find the difference :)

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2015-12-11 um 16.14.46

Franke Sanders (SonyAlphaForum) shared one single proposal for the new A7rm3. You may have found it by now on the picture above?
Here is what he writes:

From my point of view it would be helpful to have a joystick button at the place where now the AF/MF button is. For me this would be the right place where my thumb sits. I could use it to move the autofocus point, scrolling through pictures,….What do you think?
