New gear=no money
#1

I just bought a new Sony A7 after hours and hours of research, this camera fits my needs. The A7 came with a 'kit lens', a 28-70 f3.5-5.6.not a bad little lens. Now, I am an 'old glass user', I love the stuff... I have bought a Minolta MD 50mm f1.7, and a 28-85 f3.5-4.5. Weather has not been to agreeable in the part of Ontario that I live, it has been to greyish, as a result I have not been out much. I have tried the 2  MD lenses on the cats, fridge, a blanket, beer labels, ( the contents being a vice for me) and my wife. Only one of which has complained, I'm hearing the phrase 'get outside to play'....  just like my mom did! I am amazed how good the lenses are! I have 3 more coming in the mail, 50mm f1.7 (MD lll version), 28mm f2.8, and 135mm f2.8. Now all the MD's are manual focus... and the A7 makes it easy with focus peaking, and focus magnifier. Any thoughts?
