Wow, anyone who owns this must also love princesses. I'm only guessing... my granddaughter love pink (all shades) and princesses.


Don't think this little Case VAC has to work any more. Probably get out of the shed on special occasions and shows.

'58 Impalas were one of Chevrolet's all time greatest achievements. I have to include the '55 Chevy 2-door hart-top, the '58 thru '62 Corvettes, and the later '70's Nova two-door fast back.
Of course the '64 Chevy Impala SS 2-door hart-top. And I'm NOT a Chevy person.


The 58 Chevy Impala is my favorite Chevy for several reasons:
1. No other Chevy looked like it inside or out.
2. First year of the Impala.
3. I believe it is also the 1st year for the slow revving 348 CI engine.

Very nice shot, Norm! I'd love to see the summer picture of the bridge. You call it a "foot bridge" but it sure looks like a covered bridge....one of the things I love!


Well it is a small bridge meant for only foot and bike traffic. This is the summer picture. I had posted the winter picture of same bridge a few days ago. Quite a contrast form summer with green grass to winter with snow on the ground. This bridge is located about 7 miles from where I live at the Kankakee River State Park. I frequent the park both summer and winter for some good photo shoots of nature. Thank you for the compliment. I am fairly new at this, and hope to get more into photography this summer.

Norm, if you go to DxOMARK:

http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Ratings

they rate the Nikon D800E at 96, the highest score ever in their testing.

The Sony A7R scores a 95... just a little less than the D800E, ironic considering the fact that the A7R, D800 and D800E all share the SAME Sony sensor.

The A7R retails for quite a bit LESS than the D800E, and as you said, is much lighter.

As long as you don't buy it expecting a sports or action camera, you will be VERY pleased with the results under almost ALL conditions and circumstances. ;)

That Mustang's a KILLER! I don't know about those seats, though. That's a '65, right?

Thanks, countryman!


A 66 I think

^^^Norm most of the folk here on UHH are happy to share experiences and give advice. It's our pleasure. :thumbup:

You could buy those two lenses OR you could buy an adaptor and use your existing lenses until you are ready to buy FE mount lenses.

Keep in mind that ANY lens with Carl Zeiss on it is going to be VERY high quality optics... but you'll pay a pretty penny for them. The image quality WILL be top notch though... EXCELLENT to say the least.

The A7R has the second best image quality of ANY camera on the market... and that by scoring just ONE point behind the leader. It was named Popular Photography's "2013 Camera of The Year" with good cause and for a VERY good reason. It give you a full frame sensor in one of the smallest (and lightest) bodies, with image quality that only one other camera can top.

A VERY good camera indeed. ;)

So what IS the top camera if I may ask? My 7D I have been very pleased but just looking for something that shoots high quality pics, and is lighter. The 7D is kind of hard on the neck after awhile, and my SX50 is ok but it lacks in quality on some shots as compared to the 7D. I think the Sony a7 or a7r would fit my needs good.

You'd buy them based on the mount... if you had Tamron lenses for the Canon EF/EF-S mount, then all you would need would be an adaptor for Canon EF/EF-S mounts.

Metabones is the company with the largest variety of adaptors for the Sony E/FE mount specification:

http://www.metabones.com/products/?c=e-mount

There are other products available as well....


You are bing a very big help. I appreciate it so much. I do still have a lot of research ahead of me but I think I am pretty set on the Sony mirror less cameras. Not sure yet of the a7 or a7R unit. I just got off of Sony web site and was looking at the 70 - 200 lens and the 55mm lens. I think it might be the only 2 I need to start with.

^^^Norm, with adaptors you can put almost ANY lens on your camera.

With the LA-E4 from Sony you can use any A mount from Sony, Carl Zeiss, or Minolta and it will be FULLY functional on the A7, giving you access to almost 200 lenses, some of them as good as any others in the industry.

So while the selection of FE lenses is currently limited, the A7/A7R was designed SPECIFICALLY for people like you norm with lenses on other camera platforms; all you need is the correct adaptor to use them on the A7/A7R and you're ready to bang away!

Where would I buy these adaptors specifically for Canon & Tamron lens?

One problem with this camera is the current FE lens availability. I've got the 35 and 55. The kit lens I would stay away from. Otherwise it's an expensive system from a lens point of view. They have a total of 15 lenses coming by 2015. There is a 70-200 CZ out this month for 1500$. Sure it's good for legacy lens but I've decided I have no time for fooling around anymore. Right now I just use it with a 35 for street photography.


They have an 18 - 200 lens around $1500... Think its any good?
