Lenses for the Sony A7S

[Bill Bruner]

Hi Arvid – You might be able to save yourself a little money by sticking with Sony lenses – for a few dollars more than a $399 Canon to NEX Speed Booster, you can get the $498 Sony 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 FE OSS kit lens.

Here is what this lens can do on the A7s:

Hi Bill,
thanks for your reply. I don’t know about the kit lens, in that case I might just as well get the Vario-Tessar T* FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS i mentioned above (a bit more expensive but f4 throughout and Zeiss) but they both have that dreadful motorised focus… Hmm maybe I’m being to demanding…?

Cheers,
Arvid

I’ve been using the metabones adapter to EF and put my canon lenses on there. I have been shooting on this for about 2 months now.

i’ve gained confidence in this setup. At first the adapter plus the lens seemed heavy–too much for the camera to handle (Tamron especially). But i’ve been flinging this stuff around quite a bit, and i feel better about it.

one troublesome issue is that sometimes the camera won’t give me control of the iris through the metabone, but i found manually resetting the adapter or the lens itself does the trick.

I made this choice because i was not impressed with the E-mount lenses at this time. I would recommend doing the same.
