A7 and the lens.

The grip is a HorusBennu grip attached to a Manfrotto 200PL style quick release plate, a special plate made by HorusBennu for their grips. It allows you to use the camera, with the grip attached, on a Manfrotto RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter.

Closest focus is 60cm from outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the program wheel of the camera.

Wide open picture sharpness is bad towards the edges and there colour cast. Stopped down it gets a bit better, but even at F22 softness and colour cast don't really disappear. I don't remember where this lens came from, maybe it was in a free lot someone gave me. Anyway, this lens doesn't fit my camera. Exakta lenses are normally o.k., maybe this one just doesn't mix well with a digital sensor. The lens has no good close focussing capablities.
