Never had the contax g90 or 85mm 2 8 but i love my shabby sony 85mm 2 8 sam with the same optical formula for portrait.
Cheap vintage lenses for sony a7.
Why sony mirrorless are the perfect choice when vintage lenses.
So the sony a7ii was my choice.
Never really tested it myself outside of practical use but most reviews are impressed and i once read a test comparing it to the zeiss 85mm 2 8 which only found slightly higher contrast on the zeiss probably due to better coatings.
One of my favorite minolta lenses is the 50mm md rokkor 1 7.
And 24 megapixels are more than enough for the vast majority of anyone s photography needs.
The sony a7 series can take adapters to any lens mount.
I personally started using old minolta lenses on my sony nex long before i upgraded to the a7.
One of the advantages of mirrorless cameras like the sony a7 is that you can easily use them with vintage film era full frame lenses like the helios 44 2 5.
But i do need the in camera stabilization and the sony s ability to be adapted to vintage lenses.
All you need to use them on your a7 is a cheap adapter.
The sony a7 is also capable of utilizing lens adapters if you want to use a lens that isn t an e mount lens.
That s how i saved a lot of money learned how to focus manually and a lot about photography in general.
