<p>I have several Minolta Manual Focus Cameras. Something that you should think about is the repair possibility of the classic cameras you want. All the X series of Minolta cameras use electronic to control the shutter of the camera, if this electronic died, you camera is death. In contrast the SR(T) series use only mechanical control for the shutter, so if something broke, a skilled and talented technician with a 3d printer (or with enough spare pieces) can repair you camera.</p>

<p>@Mark, I post my question in Minolta/sony forum but the moderator move it here ;-(<br> @Bebu I try tofind if it's a "feature" or a problem with my personal camera<br> @Ben Someone post on another forum point that happen when switching lens or battery, the next power-up, the camera analyse the new equipment<br> <br />@CC I do have the 1.02 last firmware.</p>

<p>The camera is<br> Body:ILCE-7R<br />VER. : 1.02<br> Lens was fe 35mm 2,8 Zeiss<br />Ver.01<br> Everytime I got a new camera I love to take it to a trip.<br />I spend the last week in Boston, and everytime I see a beautifull punk or a strange tourist and I try to take a fast picture of them the A7R became iresponsive.<br> This is how it's happen. I alway put the A7R at off to save the batteries.<br> When I saw something I put it to ON, wainting to see the picture on the LCD, and put the trigger. Nothing, waiting one-two seconds, nothing. something it takes minutes (well, maybe 30 seconds) before finally getting the picture taked and the Punk/Tourist is long way away.<br> I try anything with setting, the best setting, is no image on the lcd, only information and the eye in the efv when the image apperars (2s after powered the camera) I can take the picture.<br> But even, with no image in the lCD when I don't get the eye in the evf I can get a picture.<br> Did someone here had the same problem and did you find a solution ?<br> Thank You!</p>

<p>I got A7R with 1.0.2 firmware.</p> <p>Tested with Viltrox EOS-NEX (electric coupled but with MF lens), No name m42-nex, no name MD-nex and M-39-NEX<br> I assing Focus Magnifier to C3, each time I press the button, I got a rectangle in the center of the screen, I try t press it twice or three times, I only get this rectangle, and an indication in the upper left corner with 1.0x<br> Then when I press the center button of the back dial I got a 7.2x magnifation for 1 second, then return to normal<br> Focus Magnif. time is no limit<br> MF Assit is ON<br> I got the same behavior with the Zeiss FE 35 2.8 when Focus mode set to Manual focus.<br> Since I read, that I should have choice between 6x and 12x and I should press twice on the c3 button to have the 6x, threee time to have the 12x.<br> So my question is what I do wrong ?</p>

<p>I’m a owner of a lot fo Canon EOS DSLR and lenses: Including 5d, 5dii, 70d with 500f4, 85f1.2 to name a few. So I had a lot of commitment in EOS.<br> My main pleasure of making picture is in Landscape, Birds in flight and Portrait.<br> Recently, I was thinking that should buy, primary for Portrait and Landscape a upgrade the MP in the quest for better IQ and detail in my creation.<br> Unfortunately, Canon didn’t have alternative to the 5dII for more IQ and MP. Every rumours about next Canon talk about low MP (±20mp) replacement, and not until 2015-2016.<br> So my long quest for something more gives me 3 choices: A7R, D800 and Pentax 645Z<br> I’m thinking of D800 more seriously, with this choice, I will get a complete system where I can sell all my Canon stuff and get some Nikon lens.<br> But, it’s all a move, I always looking people that do the system switching like a bad idea, but again, I'm here today.<br> What are you thinking about Canon offering in the next year ?<br> Should I wait? Someone have the same thinking ?</p>
