Trying Printing Nikkor 150 on Sony A7R

I managed to get the wireless flash working, in spite of the instructions! This is single flash, using built-in, pull-down diffuser grid and diffuser.

This was with the Nikkor at higher magnification than its optimum of 1:1 and it vignetted. I cropped out some of the vignette but find the remaining areas acceptable.

This is the Pleione Sirena posted previously. With the lower limit of the aperture f11, the interest has to be in the areas within the less-than-optimum DOF.

Without careful comparisons with images from the EM-1 (16.3MP sensor) and the A7R (36.3MP), the extra resolution seems to have paid off.

    Looking good Harold

    Thanks, Brian.

    No exposure correction needed!

    Unfortunately, I have no more battery power, as the charger sent with the camera only looks like it will take the batteries and I have no suitable USB cable.

    I must see what happens with x1.5 TC, to get back to DOF with EM-1.

    I now have the second flash gun and both (off camera) seem to be functioning fully TTL in Camera Manual mode. I am still awaiting a battery charger but managed to get a few shots off both (rested) batteries with my Kiron 105mm at f16, using another Pleione.

    These were rushed, having only a few seconds of power out of each of the two batteries, but there is no vignetting and the colour and detail look great and the diffusion is at least fairly good. The DOF was not as it would have been, if I had been able to take my time, so I will not upload these test images. In any case, a TC will be needed to get the same DOF as with the EM-1.
