My camera is the Sony a7R and it doesn't have an optical low pass filter unlike most cameras out there. Will it be riskier to use this product?

I think the Sony A7R is a full-size sensor. These are for a cropped sensor size, so they would bee the wrong size. On their web page, Photographic Solutions lists the Sony A7R and recommends Sensor Swabs Type 3. You might check with them to see if they have any special instructions regarding your Sony Model.

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of this issue. I've been struggling with it since purchasing the camera and had been thinking of returning it. I will follow your recommendations re: purchasing the filter & adapter.

Hi Thomas, since you are using an APS-C camera (SEL18200LE) you may turn on the [APS-C Size Capture] settings of the Sony A7R so that the camera will capture APS-C size equivalent sensor pictures using this lens to avoid some vignetting. -Ely

It it a LA-EA2???? No it won't work on the new Sony A7r. Its full frame camera needs LA-EA4.ok

I have assumed that low light photography, with this lens, would be a bad idea. So I haven't tried it. Maybe I have been missing a bet! We should both get the answer through trial.

The A7 has a 24 megapixel sensor and the A7R has a whopping 36 megapixel senson. Also the R has no low pass filter for better results. It loses phases detection autofocus though, resulting in slugish autofocus speeds. It also loses focus points. The R is only for you if you really need extreme detail and color reproduction. For most the already great sensor on the A7 will do perfectly!

If you have a decent dslr I would say no. I haven't used it much because it's difficult to use. The software is not particularly user friendly. I'm sure one in used to it out well be fine. But I'd I had a dslr I wouldn't bother.

yes, with the LA-EA4 and LA-EA3 adapters. the more expensive LA-EA4 with faster autofocus. when i bought my A7r, there was a promotion where i got that $350 USD adapter for only $5 US

Absolutely, the wide frame of view coupled with the low aperture should make it very simple to take photos in low light, provided you've got a camera that can handle the high iso!

this won't change the functionality of your camera. almost any canon camera now (which this is for) can do long exposures

Amazon sells a Tiffen 77mm UV Protection filter that should work with this camera. I haven't tried it myself but, you could always return it, if it doesn't work out for you.

I dont think it will its a mid level dsrl so it light sensor isnt that strong. Also you going to be using a fast shutter speed so you dont have blurry photos which doesn't let a lot of light in. You probably have to get a more expenses one like one of the Mark canons. Overall for the most part thats what determines the cameras price

Depends on the camera. If you're useing ND filters and manually setting your stop then yes. But if the camera is auto setting the exposure then it's a really expensive useless peice of equipment.

Hi there! It works just fine. If you want optimal low light performance, there are many Sony camera models to choose from that features amazing low light capabilities. -Anthony

It works with Sony A7, but not well. In the TTL mode, it is severely underpowered with bright background. The Auto mode seems to work better with bright background. Sony HVL-43M (TTL mode) provide more accurate exposure. I also tried Nikon SB800 in the Auto mode (it mounts directly with no adapter). It seems to work as good as Metz and Sony in the Auto mode. Quantum Trio and QFlash T5d-R for Nikon in the Auto mode and manual mode, however, provide the best exposure. Sony & Metz flashes sync at 1/250 sec no problem. But Nikon and Quantum flashes cannot sync at 1/250. It has to be 1/200 or slower. It works with Sony A7, but not well. In the TTL mode, it is severely underpowered with bright background.

The short answer is yes, but as I'm not familiar with your a7r, I would do a little more research. Even though the lens will fit onto your camera, you would probably have to futz with the settings to avoid possible vignetting. There are some good websites that can help you further. Google your inquiry and your doubts will disappear.

I don't think so without an adapter. If you are going to spend that much on a A7r you might want to consider a Zeiss prime lens. Do an Amazon search for Zeiss prime lenses in Alpha mount. It may cost a little more but you won't regret it.
