One of the main selling points of the full-frame Sony Alpha series of cameras — A7, A7R, A7S — is the eMount can accept so many older lenses with various adaptors. That’s because of the short flange focal distance, and when I switched from Nikon, I kept and use all my lenses, including the 80-200mm f/2.8. Stern Mathieu uploads a series of Weird Lens challenges to YouTube and his latest is a 136-year old lens from 1880, pulled from a large format camera. The results looks like a new Instagram filter with a name like Garamond, or something…. Also see Stern’s video about a 1910 lens.
My daily shooter is Sony A1 with a vertical grip and various Sony lenses attached like the FE 20mm F1.8. Find more gear recommendations in our shop. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
