>>3239706>Although it seems pretentious you do have a point. I recently bought an A7r2 to upgrade my d7100. I loved the d7100 in every way, I could really make that camera talk. With the A7r2 everything was so automated and perfect and fancy that I never felt comfortable holding it and shooting with it. I hated it. I turned every auto function off on the A7r2 an put it into full manual and it still didn't feel right. I even had the massive Sony Zeiss 35mm f1.4 and in the end I ended up hating both the camera and lens cuz I still had to use the stupid dials to turn the aperture and the freaking lens was huge. I got depressed cuz I was 8k in the hole until about a few months ago I was here and stalking peoples comments about legacy lenses. In the Minolta mc rocker 50mm f1.4 and an SMC Pentax-a 28mm prime and now I really feel like im taking pictures and slowing down. So much more thought goes into each shot now without the ability to focus super fast and just click click click away. This is coming from someone who learned on rolls of film and a Pentax k-1000. These 2-6 thousand dollar lenses and their ultra high contrast and micro contrast to give the effect of increased sharpness....Bullshit and boring. These ultra low contrast, low glass element and single to single to nearly no coating legacy manual lenses are where its at. And not to mention that beautiful hexagonal and pentagonal bokeh. Entire careers were made off these types of lenses and photos were far from "digitally perfect" and tact sharp. Not to mention there is more retention highlights and they are much less blown waaaaaaay the fuck out. Perfect photographs are boring. >Picture attached is done with the D7100 kit lens (18-55mm f 3.5 - 5.6)These next pics are just some samples of the the A7r2 with the Minolta rocker 50mm 1.4 adapted to it
