Re: [OM] Adapter on A7

[Chuck Norcutt]

I still don't know why they're not compatible but it is verified by this 
listing noting that this adapter is only for those cameras that came 
after the original A7.

It's probably stupid of me but the A7 II caught my eye when I realized 
that at $1698 it is much cheaper than the other A7 versions beyond the 
original A7.  I have no idea what the E-M1 II is going to cost but I 
suppose it could be in the same range as the A7 II.
I don't know why the siren song of full-frame hangs on nor do I 
understand by you chose to buy an A7.  I think I'd best stop thinking of 
it.  Even if I never put anything on it than existing OM lenses I still 
don't want to haul those around without a small truck.
I never got rid of the 5D thinking I might want to use it for portraits 
or other things needing shallow depth of field.  I think I've used it 
exactly once for that purpose.  Not enough to justify it when there are 
other means to the same end.
