In theory, if you've got a collection of old or obscure lenses for long-defunct 35mm film cameras, the full-frame Sony a7 / a7R may allow you to breathe new life into them. Sony's E-mount is supremely adaptable, meaning that lenses for a great many systems can be attached to the a7 / a7R without huge cost via a range of third-party mount adapters.
We're planning on publishing our full review of the a7 within the next 24 hours, but until then, click the links below to read about editor Barnaby Britton's experience of shooting with older third-party lenses on the a7 and a7R.
Read our article 'Using third-party lenses on the Sony a7 / a7R'
I guess that it's not a bad idea to play with some old lenses from which you may sometimes get very good results (kudos to Pentax veteran lens). Not for a nice frame per se but for the effort some people do to find the cam's limits and maybe themselves.
Now, if an old lens can deliver the desired result for a specific job, why not? Some veterans proved they still sing well...
Shooting the A7 with FD glass made me appreciate autofocus.
I use the 7II with a Leica 35 and a 90 both summicron.
I fully agree the methodology exposed and I would add for mark 2 owners that you also need for fixed focals to set up the correct focal lens in the steadyshot settings.
Also, do not hesitate to save the set up (1 or 2). Better to recall savings than enter in the Sony not intuitive menus.
I use a high peakink level in white color and never hesitate to zoom it. The phase detection focus helps a lot with large aperture.
I NEVER use focus peaking as it NOT accurate in the A7R. Magnified focus at 7.2x is fine! Long lenses and telescopes is the real reason I bought the A7r. In that mode the Telescope hold the camera on a drive system or heavy tripod. Dampened fancy ball heads are a real No-No- they slip! Compact tripods are garbage, Don't ever buy them, ABS, etc, trash! Old legacy lenses are a real joy to me, fast 50mm primes, 85mm and 100mm fast lenses. Outstanding work also comes from the older Nikon 135mm F:2 lens. Astro work needs a drive, no drive blurry photos! Unless your doing the Moon which is very bright! Regards, Don
"Shooting at F1.2 hand-held is pretty difficult in the best of situations, but in low light, shooting a human subject it's decidedly hit and miss. This portrait, taken with my KONICA HEXANON AR 57mm F1.2 'wide open' is the only shot in a series of more than ten where my subject's eyes are in focus.
"In low light, with this lens at F1.2, the a7's focus peaking was completely non-functional - even turned up to 'high'.
Your results are either lens or photographer specific. I shoot regularly with an 85mm f1.2L Canon FD, a Canon FD 50mm f1.4, and a 50mm Summicron f2 - and focus peaking works perfectly even at ISO 6400 1/10th second light. I nail the near eye every time with every lens. See http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57494431
ive got a hex 57mm 1.2 and i luv it ....you doing yourself a favor using the viv 17 cropped you know
Well late last year I decided this is exactly what I wanted to do. I don't take my camera out enough to warren spend loads on lenses. I narrow my choice to to this camera or a Fujifilm and looking at your experience I glad I went for the Fujifilm. I'm very happy with the results from enlarging lens to 500m mirror lens :-)
I have two a3000 bodies and each day I take at least 50 photos with what I call legacy lenses, I work with bellows, flash brackets, tubes & whatever, the results are amazing, for someone to knock using older lenses on digital cameras really surprises me, I shoot with Konica, Nikon, Canon, Fujinon enlarging lenses, Schneider G-Claron and heaps of others. I will never return to cheap Thai Sony lenses, in the 50 years that I have spent photographing nature, macro and landscapes this beats everything, great to read replies from others whom also love shooting with legacy lenses. Keep sharing your experiences with us, best regards to all.
No matter what article I read on the A7 series, great sensor, great form factor, but an infinite number of potholes in UI, processing, AF etc.
I find that is all unacceptable for the price. You're basically buying an awesome sensor tied with rope to a leaky raft.
Just the fact that a 2 year old a6000 still trounces the A7 II and A7S II, less so the A7R II in a score of useful features including a snappy AF capable of reliably tracking moving objects should tell you there's something gone wrong.
A7S II: Awesome low light capable full frame camera built with video in mind, but can't track anything in any light.
A7 II: Full Frame camera with worse low light capability than an ancient Nex 5n.
Well, maybe the A7 mark 3 versions will get decent AF and reach up to the quality of life features and other amenities of an RX100 IV.
I would like to buy one now, but I don't want to buy a $3k camera multiple times till Sony gets it right.
Hopefully won't have to wait till mk IV..
I want to use the 7series with super telephoto lenses that do not have inbuilt stabilisation.
When using third party lenses does the sensor stabilisation still work? In other words does the 5 axis sendor stabilisation work independently of the lens?
Will the new 7II be the same?
Do any other dslrs with sensor stabilisation work with manual lenses?
You're right about open lens standards, that would rule.
But not so much in the interest of Manufacturers:
- Lenses are part of the lock-in, so you don't just buy whatever camera has the best specs that year.
- if you do switch for any reason, it becomes real profitable for the lucky company you picked.
- It would require some large economic block making a law, like they did with USB chargers in the EU.
- Another thing manufacturers won't like about standard lenses is the fact, that there would be very strong competition for every possible type of lens. Prices would drop, even on high quality lenses. That could actually be enough to force a shake-out among manufacturers, that risk already exists as it is.
So the further question is, if this would be a long term benefit to camera users or just a short term benefit, soon leading to less variety and less innovation overall.
I have no crystal ball for that, but the thought makes me not mind so much putting up with the status quo.
The games always start when an unholy alliance of bean counters and marketing types have taken over control from the engineers.
That's the point one wants to look for some company that hasn't reached that stage, but in an old market, there usually isn't one.
I got wishes for virtual lenses in my mind, sensors that use quantum mechanics to catch more light on a square millimeter than today's full frame sensors do. I want to stick the resulting camera to a pair of shades with a hud display. To take a picture, I want to just have to blink my left eye.
So, bean counters of this world, please go forth and do something more useful, like killing the corrupt world wide central banking cartel, eliminate the fraudulent fractional-reserve debt-money system or some other universally useful goal.
Sounds good to me. I was considering the Canon EOS 5DS or 5DS R.
Now I have second thoughts. I have been a Canon loyalist ever since the revolutionary Canon A1 was launched, back in the late 1970's.
Although I had upgraded (and now with a Canon FF and several L lenses), it really bothered me a lot when the EOS system came out not being compatible with the FD lenses. Even with adapters, use of the FD lenses on EOS bodies is crippled, or very much useless.
My very large stash of Canon FD lenses (ranges from 20 mm to 600 mm, including a good number of "L" lenses) may see the light again.
I understand that some people are using FD lenses on four thirds cameras, but an FF body would certainly be much more desirable.
Based on your reservations, I'll wait and see before I hit the store running to get an a7 / a7R.
Thanks for a useful article.
Any cheap, fun EF-mount lens you could recommend to try out on my NEX-6 using a Viltrox adapter?
i've been using the a7ii with 3 alpha mounts with no problems on my AF lenses. The adapter is bulky and negates the slim form factor of the mirrorless body, but it is a worthwhile trade off for the flexibility it brings.
BUT, my manual focus sigma 24mm/2.8 macro leaves me with no aperture control. It seems it is only usable in full stop down mode. I thought the LAEA4 adapter was supposed to at least give me aperture control (the lens has 5 gold contacts)
Does anyone know more about this issue?
Does the adapter recognize the lens, or is it acting in "release without lens" mode? Just a shot in the dark but aperture isn't entirely electronic, I would think the linkage would engage so long as the system recognizes that a lens is present. Maybe clean the contacts? Verify that it works on your A mount?
Of course it might simply be that a third party lens backwards-engineered for a 30 year old mount just isn't going to work through an autofocus adapter for a 3 year old mount.
It is totally possible that u had some pre-production version of the on board software, but I'm using 1.01 and the lens version is .01 without the problems u encountered using AP with Auto ISO.
As to the failure of focus peaking when u used your 57 1.2 it might be caused by the failure of the lens to reach focus.
I use Nikon Ai/AiS lenses on my Canon 7D. No peaking. Magnification my pressing a button, only available on the LCD. The phase detection can give a focus indication, but really needs a programmed electronic interface.
Compared to this the A7 is a piece of cake. And on the Canon the Nikon's have become my main lenses. Most of the time shutter speed and aperture are picked for their photographic effects. Action stopped or blurred. Depth of field.
For portraits and many other scenes the autofocus doesn't always pick the right target; with magnified manual focus an eye's iris can be made razor sharp. Note that nearly all Zeiss lenses are manual focus only.
Prime lenses are usually sharper than most zooms; the exceptions being top of the line, fast lenses with less than 3x zoom. For example, 24-70/2.8. At Sony, that is a $2000 lens.
With the lower cost of many new and most used prime lenses can add a whole new vista of well composed, high quality images.
Why are you using C1 or C2 for the enlarged focus screen.
There already is a enlarged focus button on the AF/MF lever.
As far as fast focus for manual lenses, do like Leica M2-3, Set in M at F8-11, Zone focus using depth of field marks on lens, and 1/250 with Auto Iso . Works great for people with wide angle 28-35mm.
What does the 48mm male thread do; on the eBay adapter you sent me? Your adapter was so good m33 Argus>Nex, That i wrote and article about it for Camera Shopper magazine! The Enna Argus tele-Sandmar 100mm /4.5 lens tested out on your adapter & a Sony A7r DSLM camera; as amazing image quality! Who knew Argus lenses were so Good! Expect Your sales to increase once that article is Published! Meanwhile I will blog on internet for your adapter's greatness. The Argus lenses are very light weight and ultra compact, making them very desirable.manual focus on the A7r Sony at 6x DMF makes a ultra sharp image on a Full Frame chip at 36 MEG, 99.9% of today's Photographer's have NO idea how great these legacy rangefinder lenses were from the 1950's! Better start making more m33 Argus adapters to NEX or E-mount, I am spreading the word! Best Regards, Don@Eastwestphoto
I recently discovered that you can program the Center Button as Focus Magnifier:
- Click the Center Button once, you get the orange rectangle, move the rectangle around with the wheel around the button.
- Click the Center Button again and it magnifies the selection.
- Click the Center Button once more and you get extra magnification.
All without ever having to move your thumb around.
That is really convenient and neat.

I'm new here (first post) and love the site. I bought the Sony A7 exclusively for use with several old Leica M lenses from my old film days. I've had very good results with my 35mm Summicron-M, 50mm Summicron and especially my 90 Summicron-M. I experienced less success with my 21mm Super-Angulon, however - lots of vignetting and CA. I've found this can be fixed somewhat with CornerFix or lens correction in Lightroom. My conclusion after two months is that successful shooting with the A7 and legacy glass depends on the lens, with better results using focal lengths of 35mm and longer. I'd be interested in reading about results from others about their experiences using ultra-wide lenses.
Ditto buddy, my 21mm Voigtlander skopar was the same; major distortion Chromatic Aberration and vignetting on the edges! I use a A7r. I found a 85c help's correct the Aberration anyway, cheap solution. I also am a writer of photo articles for Camera Shopper magzine and TEST all leica rangefinder lenses ever made! The best so far, hands down winner Leitz Summicron 40mm F:2 CL lens! Ultra sharpness, light weight, small size, and a 85c filter makes the photos look like Kodachrome slides! It's a killer of a lens focused in TTL as opposed to the rangefinder days of its smaller base line. Try it, get the German one! Regards, Don@Eastwestphoto
I tried Summitar F2 50 mm coated version, and some other old lenses using APSc sensor camera. Found that lens shade helps much. Also the central part is usually well corrected. I like the results compared to a modern lenses, which are better by MTF or other criteria but produce less pleasant images. Of course it is subjective.
I may sound harsh, but i will go anyway ;)
What is the point of using a "more-than-thousand" body with such lenses ?
When i look at examples, there are some very nice shots quality wise (mostly SMC PENTAX 1:2/35, the best one probably) but most others looks like lomography/instagram. All that money on body for that result ?
Spend less on body (any entry level DSLR will do) and buy GOOD glass instead. Because at the end of the day, glass makes all the difference.
If not...what is the point of full-frame (or APS-C) sensor ?
Something a lot of DSLR+average kit lens buyers don't understand...until you experience it ;)
There are some old good glass, and not so expansive. But more difficult to find than those ones ;)
To give you an idea : Super-Takumar F:1.8 55mm V2.
This is what i call cheap (around 100 bucks for V2) and good glass.
And even not so rare...but you need to SEARCH, not to FIND :D
Agreed with your view on "why spend on cheap lenses when thousands $ already spent on camera bodies..."
Camera equipment used to be part of military gears in the past for some serious assignments, and for most non-military guys to hold a piece of that can make them feel like Mr. James Bond, especially when you have to assemble all the complicated camera parts/lens just to take 1 photo, and that impress the girls.....it's a guy's ego thing maybe.....
This site is an interesting place to visit where you see almost everyone comes here for the purpose to get the best knowledge possible from people who spend time testing gears in a systematic way, providing personal experience, giving accounting advice & market info etc.... all these factors contribute to the next technical advancement.
Read somewhere Takumar lenses made in the 1960s and earlier might contain radioactive elements (these elements make the lens produce sharp image).
and that impress the girls.....it's a guy's ego thing maybe…..
Say what?
A word of caution: do not put junk store lenses on your camera unless inspected for fungi. A contaminated lens may contaminate your camera and every lens you put on it.
So then give it a try :)
Total rubbish.
@kickoff3pm, "total" is an understatement. Ignorants say "sheer"
I didn't have a chance to test the focus magnification with the original firmware my a7 shipped with (1.01), but I can see that the logic of user interaction has changed in actual 1.02 version.
Now, if you want to actually magnify the screen, hitting the preprogrammed soft-button second time doesn't help at all. You need to press the center button of control wheel to achieve magnification.
For that reason only I programmed the Focus Magnification to C3 instead, being physically closest to the control wheel so I can operate both with thumb only.
At least it seems Sony has addressed one item from the wishlist in the article - now the magnification is 2-level.
First press of centre button gives you magnification factor x5.9, second press doubles that to x11.7, third press cycles it back to unmagnified x1.0 state.
I've been using the a7r with legacy lenses. The olympus zuikos are very small, mechanically beautiful, and very sharp if chosen properly.
I'm a tripod shooter so I use the 50mm 3.5 macro (razor sharp corner to corner) and the 24mm f2.8. I also use the tokina 17mm rmc at one setting - f11 at infinity - and it works very well.
The mir site has a lot of zuiko info - if you want fast you have to pay - if you're happy with slow - the lenses are inexpensive and second to none.
One thing I'm going to do is flock the inside of all my adapters - a lot of shiny - if black - metal there.
Sony is weird and strangely stingy on the software side - but once you get the image to the screen - and the print - all is forgiven.
A couple of questions: I'm more of a still than videographer and was wondering between the A7, A7R, A7S and A7II, all of which can do both, which one is most "still friendly?"
Also: I have three Zuikos: 50mm F/1.8; 35-70mm F4; 85-250mm F/5 I'd like to use with either a Sony FF or APSC (A6000) can I obtain good results with these lenses?
As a new owner of the Sony A7R (about one month), I find using manual lenses with this camera to be extremely easy with little to no learning curve. The image quality will certainly be directly dependent on the quality of the lenses and the skill of the photographer. I am by no means a professional photographer and certainly have much less experience than the author of this article therefore I am rather puzzled by the difficulties mentioned in the article. Perhaps his problem lies in a lack of experience with manual film cameras and manual lenses in general. I am getting excellent IQ from both Canon FD glass and a Contax G 90mm f/2.8.
To sum it up, the article is a sad excuse for a review on using manual legacy glass with the A7/A7R. The author acts like it is a royal pain to focus and this is far from the case. Focusing is easy and I had it down on day one.
I have been using manual focus lenses for the last 25 years and still shooting mostly with Zeiss, TSEs, AI, AI-S on modern high resolution cameras, while I found using manual focus is "easy" for me, but I do see the "difficulties" and "frustration" from time to time, I mean to nail focus with F1.2 lens for example is not the easiest thing to do even I have been doing it for all these time, like he mentioned in the article, the "jello effect" after the magnification makes it hard to see exactly if the eyes of the person is sharp or not, can I do it? of course, I have been doing it, but I can't say ok, I nailed it without reviewing it after the shot, just don't get this kind of confidence with that "jello effect".
I don't interpret this article as a "sad excuse" for using manual lens on A7 series, in fact, I call it pretty encouraging. in fact, for a lot of people it's pleasure to use manual focus, myself included, but at the same time, in fact it's a "royal pain" for some people.
Another member states Sony did not design the A7 cameras for legacy lenses per se, and this statement is 100% accurate. But the fact certain legacy lenses can be used for excellent IQ says a lot about the camera's versatility. I have read reviews for A7R used with Leica Summicron, where the IQ was terrible, and the reviewer blames the camera (eg. Ken Rockwell). Wrong. The fault is the lens; it is inherently not matched to the sensor. To expect the camera to produce excellent IQ with ANY legacy lens is simply an ignorant expectation. If you have toothache, would see a dentist or a veterinarian? Both can pull teeth. Same issue for cameras. You need to match tech to tech.
The Lens Comp App may or may not adequately build a profile to overcome the faults. The simple conclusion is this: only 2 lens designs are good for legacy lenses on the A7R - Planar and Distagon.
...and any slr lens ever made.
The problem lenses are UWA symmetrical RF lenses.
I have the A7R and use it with legacy lenses. I have NONE of the difficulties noted in this review. But, I have top Zeiss for ContaxG and Zeiss for Contax35 lenses, which give me images that very very few "modern" lenses can match. I know when I use lesser lenses from the top Japanese brands, the A7R produces much different results and behaves differently. With top lenses, I have no troubles with manual focus: with lesser lenses, focus is a tad more difficult. From my tests, I conclude the A7R requires the best lenses to reach its potential (not the best you can afford, but the very best made), and even then only 2 designs will give consistent, top performance: the Zeiss Planar and Zeiss Distagon. The Zeiss Biogon will render IQ excellent in every way except for one: magenta shift. Leica lenses are primarily Sonnar and also render colour shifts on the A7R. Japanese do not state which lens designs are used, so my results are hit or miss.
Sorry, and please excuse, but I find this "review" to be very limited and thus ignorant.
To say the camera defaults to slowest shutter speed of 60 is simply false. In A mode, mine will easily go to 3 seconds (I haven't tried longer).
The effect of focus peaking is definitely affected by the lens. A lesser lens makes the peaking more difficult to accomplish.
@Michael Berg,
Since we are on the subject of an "open mind", perhaps readers ought to be more discerning and learn to ask relevant questions regarding any writer's claims instead of taking it all in hook, line and sinker.
Instead you pointed out some irrelevant thing about shutter speeds required to shoot non-static subjects when the reviewer shot simple static shots of non-moving subjects.
"I find 1/125 is a maximum shutter setting I like to shoot at, and go for 1/160 or 1/250 if the light is there, just to be sure."
- I find it odd that an "open mind" sets such arbitrary rules without reference to all the facts of the situation. No reference to focal length (oh right you don't know what the reciprocal rule is) or the speed of the subject matter.
My experience (& obvious knowledge of the basic rules) tells me what (lowest acceptable) shutter speed to use for every situation, for the required sharpness and lowest possible noise, not some arbitrary "maximum".
I am new to this. I am trying old manual OM Zuiko lenses with an adapter on a a7. Getting an exposure check is an issue since the camera doesn't know what the f stop setting is and I have not found a way to manually set the f stop I am using. The camera registers "f---". Am I doing something wrong or is there something I am missing? BTW the Rainbow imaging OM-NEX adapter seems fine.
You have to set your camera to A priority and then select the aperture on the lens or adapter. If you don't have anyway to choose aperture it won't work.
The exposure is read from the sensor - so there shouldn't be any problem. What you see on the lcd - especially if you have the histogram visible - is what you get.
So basically the point is to use the latest sensor technology and optics that were second class in the time of their making in order to produce a look of a Minolta X-700 with a cheap Vivitar zoom and a roll of Kodak Gold?
The annoying thing for me is, I actually use the old lenses, but not because of the "lomo look" or whatever, I use them because if you do it properly, they can give a modern super-lens a run for the money. Some of those optics are genuinely superior to the new stuff, and you can get them for a song these days.
IMO, ToDay the "Alpha 7R, w/h Metabones & Leica/Voigtländer M Lenses" is the BEST value for money kit on the market; by far.....!!!
Assuming one has good M Lenses....!!!!
When people having trouble having decent photos they play with equipments.
Complete waste of time. With these lenses the final look is very boring.
In my view this kind of exercise is worth only with lenses that have a distinct character. Some old Zeiss, medium format Pentax, Contax or Leica. Just to give an example.
I mean.... a Vivitar from the 80ies??? Nikon 50mm are been proven dogs historically. An old Konika... OMG!
If I was shooting wide open most of the time, and I don't know many people who do, this article would be compelling. I've been using Nikon manual lenses and focus peaking on a 5N with good results. I don't know why it would be different with an A7/R.
It isn't any different. I also have the 5N and an A7. The difference with the A7 is the field of view expected from 35mm camera optics and using the same lenses on both bodies does show up edge performance, or lack of it, on the A7.
The quality of the images can be quite variable. The Canon EF f1.8/50mm Mk II performs exceptionally well across the whole frame and is exceedingly sharp. I have to use this with an adaptor with electronic contacts as there is no way to set the aperture manually. My Canon EF f3.5/4.5 28-105 also surprised me with the quality it can achieve on the A7, with the only slight reservation is a small amount of vignetting caused by the adaptor, but this can be edited out.
I've got high quality results from a Minolta MD f1.7/50 and an Olympus f1.8/50 Zuiko and really beautiful images with my Leica f2.8/135 Elmarit R.
Wide angle lenses can be problematic, but my Orion f6/28mm gives excellent results at f8.
To the detractors, try it before posting negatively.
If only I could use my numerous Canon lenses and retain auto-focus, I would buy it in an instant
yes you can, find the adapter here:
Fun article and interesting. One of my main considerations in purchasing one of the Sony A7's is to use old lenses and I think it would be just plain fun. It's not going to take the place of my DSLR, but what a great adventure and pleasure to be able to use old glass that hasn't seen light in a while. All the fiddliness would be just part of it and part of the discovery. Thanks for posting!
I have a nex6 and all i use is third party lenses. I sold the kit lens which was horrible and got 4 primes and adapter's from ebay. All 1980's and older and love the pictures I get and so does everyone else.
I reccently picked up an a3000 (body only deal) with the intention of using it as a "toy" with my old Canon FD and Konica AR lenses. I have been so pleased with the results that this camera (with my Konica lenses) has now become my prime user system.
This camera has not been developed to work with third party lenses in per se! While you can attach lenses through an adapter, the results will not be stellar by any means... it will be happy go lucky meaning you will get nice shots too but only here and there... this is just a marketing ploy by some camera companies to sell more of their products. In most cases the focusing is difficult and unreliable.
If you really want to use third party lenses look for something that was designed for them from ground up... Ricoh GXR with the M-mount lensor is one. It has its limitations but performs spectacularly with almost any lens. Its focus peaking is second to none... I bought it reluctantly two years two years ago but can't put it down... I have it always with me.
I have several criticisms of this article (obvious flaws in the review):
1. Problem with the 1/60th shutter speed
This criticism doesn't cut it when most cameras do the same in Program/Aperture priority mode.
2. Related to the 1st point - camera shake
The writer needed 1/100th shutter speed to get a sharp picture using a 50mm prime lens.
More fundamentally a question of the writer's technique (or lack there of!). Most photographers can get great shots at far lower shutter speeds. I can easily shoot handheld at 1/15th or 1/30th no problem (without image stabilisation). 1/60th is plenty sufficient according to the reciprocal rule too.
3. Inability to get sharp focus
Again a huge flaw with the review - the writer uses what he conceded were bad lenses - hazy, cheap ($10!), flawed, ancient (65 yrs old!) - more suited for the scrap heap.
How does one blame the A7's focus peaking/viewfinder etc. for being not good enough to purchase?
If you want half-decent pics, use decent lenses!
I kind of disagree with your second point. In an APS-C sensor, 50mm corresponds to 75 to 80mm so, the closest thing and surest thing to do to get an absolutely sharp image would be to shoot at 1/100th or 1/125th of a second, which I am assuming is the fastest shutter speed possible under the circumstances.
"Hand-holdability" is largely subjective, some people have steadier hands than others, so I wouldn't point that at technique.
But yeah all in all a flawed article.
I think you're missing the point here. The writer simply explains what it's like to use older lenses on the Sony A7. If the A7 doesn't do a perfect job that's alright, I don't think there was any expectation that it should have. Focus peaking works by contrast detection, and with high magnification it's just difficult to get good, contrasty edges. That's no fault of the A7, that's just a fact of life. Don't read it as blame. And don't read it as a reason not to buy the A7R, quite the contrary.
I also have to disagree on the camera shake. If you are walking around taking pictures, you are very likely to see blur at 1/60 regardless of focal length. If you want to take pictures of non static items (cars, dogs, cats, children - well pretty much anything), you are very likely to get blur at 1/60. I find 1/125 is a maximum shutter setting I like to shoot at, and go for 1/160 or 1/250 if the light is there, just to be sure.
Don't be so defensive. Keep an open mind.
Also I want to say thank you to the writer for an original and interesting article, on a subject that I think a lot of people wonder about. Third party lenses can be had very cheaply, especially older ones, and many of them are very good indeed.
(In fact, 65 years is no age for a lens. The optical principles and laws of light haven't changed, nor has the glass. If it has been looked after mechanically, it should still produce good photos).
Both of you CLEARLY have NO CLUE what the reciprocal rule is about!
What is the relevance of bringing up APS-C? The A7 is full-frame and any lens attached is full frame. 50mm is 50mm.
Do you even know what the Reciprocal Rule is? If you are using a 50mm (or even 85mm lens) & you need 1/100th or 1/125th of a second, then you, like the writer, are a crap photographer. The average photographer should only need 1/50th s shutter speed to get a sharp pic.
@Michael Berg,
You don't even know what you are talking about, you have a problem reading & also a problem with critical thinking.
The writer uses extremely bad old & hazy fogged up, unsharp lenses. There may be 60+ yr old lenses that are good but the writer used 60+ old lenses that are bad - & then complains about unclear photos & focus peaking not working well. Focus peaking obviously requires sharp lenses to work, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work that out.
@Michael Berg,
1. You acknowledged that focus peaking relies on contrast detection but you can't spot the obvious flaw in the methodology of using foggy lenses from the scrap heap?
2. "If you are walking around taking pictures, you are very likely to see blur at 1/60 regardless of focal length."
I don't think you understand the reciprocal rule, camera shake & what causes picture blurring. Of course FL matters. If u get blurring just cos you are walking around & just cos u are shooting at 1/60th, u are quite a hopeless photog.
None of the reviewers pics involved a moving camera (ég. on a rocking boat or vibrating car), or even fast moving subject matters & yet the reviewer complains about not being able to get a sharp pic. That indicates problems with basic technique &/or lens.
& to think that all my students learn the reciprocal rule as one of the 1st things about shutter speed!
3. I don't own the A7 - why should I defend anything. Why are u defending a badly çonducted review?
@Michael Berg,
& on the subject of an "open mind", perhaps readers ought to be more discerning and learn to question what any review claims instead of taking it all in hook, line and sinker.
"I find 1/125 is a maximum shutter setting I like to shoot at, and go for 1/160 or 1/250 if the light is there, just to be sure."
- I find it odd that an "open mind" sets such arbitrary rules without reference to all the facts of the situation. No reference to focal length (oh right you don't know what the reciprocal rule is) or the speed of the subject matter.
My experience (& obvious knowledge of the basic rules) tells me what (lowest acceptable) shutter speed to use for every situation, for the required sharpness and lowest possible noise, not some arbitrary "maximum".
Writing a comment limited to 1000 characters on this website; in a subject as technical as legacy lenses, with super high center sharpness is too limiting for a writer on this subject- DP review website. Don't use focus peaking at all! its designed for Sony's AF FE lenses mostly. Use Magnified focus in 7x, use m39, or very old Exakta lenses from 1945~1965. Size matters for ergonomics. Consider lens cleanliness FIRST. Next is the lenses designed for super high center lines/mm! Contrast ratio comes next, followed by size and weight and distance from the chip plane to end of the lens. prevent nose heavy choices. I like the small leica m39 choices or Nikkor choices best. Still the Alpa SLR lenses were outstanding. Remember 1960 Kodachrome l was ASA 10 speed and the lenses designed for it was a killer in center focus lines/mm. Sure they may have had terrible edge to edge spec's or ghosting, flare, chromatic aberration, but who cares; they were super sharp! Best regards, Don
You say don't use focus peaking but offer no alternative other than to use your eyes. Why is this better?
It's like asking a carpenter to skip the spirit level and just go by eyesight, because the spirit level wasn't designed for carpentry. Hey, if you're a great carpenter with decades of experience maybe that will work. But what about everyone else? My new shelf wouldn't look so great I think :-)
Focus peaking works no better or worse with FE lenses than with any other type of lens. It's light travelling through glass, the label on the side of the lens is just for marketing.
I have found that for shooting manual lenses, setting C3 to be the focus magnifier works much better ergonomically. Also, I actually use C3 for the Focus Settings option, not focus magnifier. It seems more versatile - when in autofocus will bring up the useful spot size/position selector, and for manual focus it seems to work the same as Focus Magnifier. Great little setting trick!
A couple of things:
I had just posted an add to finally try to sell off my old Contax 35 mm system, but this has me wondering whether anybody has tried older Contax mounts on the a7/a7r? Perhaps there's life after film for these great lenses after all?
And I'm wondering whether this offering by Sony will prompt Nikon and Canon to also produce an entry- or enthusiast-level priced full-frame camera in the immediate future? Surely the a7 will appeal to some significant portion of their market share. Any thoughts?
There was a reason for "rangefinder" cameras and split image circles in SLR film cameras. The process of trying to handhold a camera while magnifying the subject to focus on a lcd or evf seems a bit archaic to me, kinda like a view camera or tlr. I only manually focus my DSLR's when using a tripod and shooting a static scene or when dof it critical.
Guess if I owned several thousand dollars worth of Leica or Zeiss glass it might seem a Godsend. Otherwise it just seems, like the author admitted, a nerd thing.
Perspective is everything. I am old school I guess... learned to shoot without autofocus. Now if I have it, I turn it off. That said, I don't take pictures of F1, speed skaters or birds in flight... or if I do, I focus on a place where they'll be and use appropriate depth-of-field. Limiting, I suppose... but my landscapes don't move much. The A7 and old lenses (or new ones - Tamron 150-600) work well for me.
I recently bought a Nex-6 for a walk around pocket camera to compliment my Nikons and got a Fotodiox Pro adaptor for it and presto, I can use all my old Nikkor 35mm lenses from the early 70's on it and it's great and easy. Doing this on FF is very tempting. The Nikon Df would be a pretty expensive experiment, the Sony a7R might be a better and less expensive way to get to 36MP FF with these old lenses.

The legend of La Llorona is a truly frightening bit of folklore, but as of yet no one has done it justice movie-wise. Thankfully a new flick is on the way that is looking to change that, and you're gonna Weep when you read the news!
From the Press Release
BoulderLight Pictures is proud to announce WEEP, a new horror film inspired by the coveted "La Llorona" legend, set to go into production in the spring of 2014. Written by Blood List writers T.J. Cimfel and David White, the project is set to be a modern take on the classic ghost story.
"We're incredibly excited to be bringing this terrifying and rich legend to North American audiences," said producer J.D. Lifshitz. "David and T.J. have helped cook up something truly scary and original, and we hope to thrill fans of the legend as well as garner new ones."
BoulderLight Pictures is working off of the success of their recently released body-horror pic Contracted (via IFC Midnight) to deliver WEEP to an even larger audience, utilizing a bigger budget and higher profile cast. The filmmakers are bridging the gap in the marketplace by making a film to satisfy a wide array of distinctive moviegoers from the Hispanic community to horror and thriller fans and genre-loving cinephiles alike.
"It's no big secret that the Hispanic community makes up a substantial portion of moviegoers," said producer Raphael Margules. "We couldn't be more enthusiastic about bringing one of the most well-known characters in Hispanic folklore to life on the big screen in a way that both honors 'La Llorona' and frightens audiences to their core."
While plot details are being kept under wraps, the film will tell of a modern haunting of the infamous weeping woman, "La Llorona," set in America. Raphael Margules and JD Lifshitz are producing on behalf of BoulderLight Pictures.

text: Quarter ResultsFor the quarter-ended December 31, 2012, consolidated net revenues totaled $36.9 million compared to $38.2 million for the same prior year period, resulting in a decrease of $1.2 million or 3%. Our radio segment net revenues decreased $1.4 million or 4%, primarily due to special events revenue and network sales, offset by increases in national, barter, local and interactive sales. The decrease in special events revenue occurred mainly in our Puerto Rico market and the decrease in network sales occurred throughout most of our markets. The increases in national, barter and interactive sales took place throughout most of our markets and the increase in local sales was mostly in our Los Angeles and Puerto Rico markets. Our television segment net revenues increased $0.1 million or 3%, largely due to increases in paid-programming, local spot and integrated sales, offset by a decrease in barter sales. OIBDA, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $13.6 million compared to $11.8 million for the same prior year period, representing an increase of $1.8 million or 15%. Our television segment OIBDA increased $1.5 million or 128%, largely due to the decrease in station operating expenses of $1.4 million and an increase in net revenues of $0.1 million. Television station operating expenses decreased predominantly due to decreases in originally produced programming costs, compensation and benefits, facilities expenses and a reduction in broadcasting rights fees related to our former Puerto Rico and Chicago outlets. Our radio segment OIBDA increased $0.5 million or 4%, primarily due to the decrease of station operating expenses of $1.9 million, offset by the decrease in net revenues of $1.4 million. Radio station operating expenses decreased mainly due to special events expenses and music license fees, offset by an increase in local and national commissions and barter expense. Our corporate expenses increased by $0.3 million or 18%, mostly due to an increase in professional fees.

Hello all -
I'm having some issues initiating software installations to our mobile workforce. I'm attempting to assign an MSI package to computers but processing attempts occur prior to a VPN connection bein established on our Windows 7 Pro x64 boxes. Here's the error it throws up:
Source: Application Management Group Policy
Event ID: 103
Level: Error
Details: The removal of the assignment of application X from policy Install X failed. The error was: %%2.
Source: GroupPolicy
Event ID: 1112
Level: Warning
Details: The Group Policy Client Side Extension Software Installation was unable to apply one or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup or user logon. The system wait for Group Policy processing to finish completely before the next startup for this user, and this may result in slow startup and boot performance.
Steps taken that failed to resolve the issue:
1. Changed Group Policy refresh interval for computers to 30 minutes with a random 30 minute interval added. Machines were simply not receiving the GPO's prior to that as it appears that the wait time was too long before it synchronized.
2. Turned off Group Policy slow link detection
3. Forced processing of Registry/Scripts/Security/Software installation regardless if objects have changed and will do so over a slow link (disabled anyway)
4. Logon set to always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
5. Logon scripts set to run synchronously
6. User profiles will not detect slow link connections
7. Built GPO to allow user to establish a PPTP connection when presented with a logon screen, but that's after the fact from what I'm seeing.
What I'm led to believe is that this is the expected behavior and that I would need to look into SCCM or something equivalent to solve this problem in an automated fashion that doesn't interrupt the help desk. Does anybody have any experience with this sort of problem and if so, what did you do or product you used to resolve it? Or is the approach wrong here?
Your response would be much appreciated. Thanks all.

If your users are always VPN'ing in, consider Citrix or RDP. It makes your life a whole lot easier. You only update the software once on the terminal server, you don't have to worry about lost confidential data from someones laptop getting stolen, and you don't have to worry about if they backed up their machine because you are going to control it from the server. Your users will be happier because the RDP server will operate faster than their local machine was as well.

Your issue is pretty much in your face, read the error log aloud.
Now.... they are not on a VPN Domain, they are using VPN to login...
Think it through.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody and sorry for not responding recently.
Citrix/TS is out of the equation, according to our POS software vendor. Their licensing is wonky and wouldn't fly on the same system. Otherwise great idea.
I'll check out the VPN domain suggestion - didn't occur to me at all. Thanks for the guidance on this.
Again I appreciate the suggestions - I'll get back to you all if needed. Thanks.

Rude and Very Insensitive
***NO STARS*** Neil Sullivan has to be the RUDEST physician I've EVER dealt with. I live in NY for 10yrs and never encounter ANYONE as Rude and Insensitive as Mr. Neil Sullivan. He doesn't speak with you he speaks AT YOU, he has a Very "WELL WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT" attitude. I'm 37 yrs. old, I've suffered with RA for 10yrs and after relocating to Virginia my pain seemed to be worse. I came to Mr. Sullivan's office in tears and barley able to stand, No one offered me a wheel chair and once in the examination room with Mr. Sullivan his response to me as I'm sobbing is "Ms. Miller you've know you've had RA for sometime now and there isn't anything we can do about so you have to deal with it." It isn't the statement he made that hurt but it was his tone, which was a get over it and get out of my office. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to him, I wouldn't send the devil himself to see him.

Not very helpful
I too had a list if symptoms for him and he only focused on a couple. He did not explain anything. He asked some questions but did sit with me and ask me to explain my list and tell him what's going on. He didn't provide any feedback just take these tests and I'll see you in seven weeks. Oh he did say he could put me in drugs for pain. Hello! I want to know the cause of my pain. I was very unhappy with him. U may look for another doctor.

I agree with a previous rating about this doctor being arrogant. He seemed lost somewhere and did ask many questions but was pretty vague in answering mine! Never again!

This doctor has an arrogant attitude and does not seem to care about the welfare of the patient. He does not listen and often asks the same question more than once. He does not explain anything and does not offer alternative treatments if one treatment causes other problems. He gets visibly angry if you try to explain any problems with the medication he has prescribed. I will never go to him again.

This is the most evasive physician I have ever met. He asked lots of questions without offering any information himself. By the time he was finished with his redundant set of questions, time was up. He refused to return my phone calls so I never had a chance to ask questions. He ordered numerous tests without taking time to explain why they were important He was quick to report the numbers, but he was absolutely inaccessible to discuss what the meaning of my results. His treatment plan consisted of a prescription (no education about the medicine either) and a command to come back in a month. I won't.

Research Institution
AbstractThe proposed project will develop a novel aerosol concentrator based on aerodynamic lens technology capable of achieving very high concentration factors in a compact device. This device will be fabricated in silicon using micro-fabrication methods resulting in low cost, compact size, high reliability, high throughput, and extremely high precision and repeatability. In this project we will develop Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models of the fluid flow and particle trajectories inside aerodynamic lenses. We will fabricate lenses on silicon wafers using standard wafer micro-fabrication methods, and we will test the performance of those lenses using carefully prepared aerosols. Finally, we will make detailed comparisons between the predictions of our CFD models and the experimental results. At the end of phase I, we will have developed a reliable CFD modeling capability that can be used in phase II to design more complex structures and we will have demonstrated the feasibility of fabricating these lenses in silicon using standard micro-machining techniques. We will also have developed a battery of diagnostic methods to assess the performance of these devices which will be used in phase II to assess the performance of 2-dimensional arrays of aerodynamic lens aerosol concentrators.

I'm going to prom in May. GUYS: What hair style do you guys like? down, up, curled, fancy, not fancy? What kind of dress? what color dress... Thanks!
Most Helpful Guy
If you still have long hair like in the photo, go down. I would go with a fancy hair style, as it is prom and it is worth the effort. After all, it only comes once in awhile! As for a dress, I personally love an indigo blue color. As long as it is classy and doesn't have your breasts spilling out of it, I'd probably like the look. Don't forget to wear the most important accessory of all, your smile. ;-)11|00|0

Page iii - An English Whig, who asserts the reality of the popish plot, an Irish Catholic, who denies the massacre in 1641, and a Scotch Jacobite, who maintains the innocence of Queen Mary, must be considered as men beyond the reach of argument or reason, and must be left to their prejudices.

him: (cant breathe properly coughs.. ) I'm your boyfriend.
what he does is only meets up to have sex. hah? ...
why would a guy say he is my boyfriend if he is only something like a f***buddy or what ever its called...
Most Helpful Guy
Maybe he says he is your boyfriend because mayeb he is starting to develop strong feelings for you even though yo uand him just have sex. This happens a lot in freinds with benefits relationships. One person and sometimes both start to develop strong feelings and they get attached. I feel if he wants to be your boyfriend then he needs to do more for you. Do you want him to be your boyfriend?11|00|0

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My husband was in a car accident. The officer on scene told me no one would be getting a ticket due to the fact that they could not tell who ran the red light and neither could any of the witnesses. He ended up coming to the hospital went into the other driver ( the one who hit my husband) room and stayed in there for a few minutes before coming out then over to me to tell me my husband was receiving the ticket only because a witness stated he ran the red light but they never spoke to my husband and got him side of the story. We picked up the police report which has several discrepancies on it like stating that the driver of the other car was a male and the the color of my husbands car was white which it is silver The diagram is also messed up. Someone also said that she was on the phone
This type of situation happens often in intersection collisions. The ticket can most certainly be dismissed; however, your husband will have to go to traffic court to present his evidence and arguments to convince a judge he was not at fault. You need to find out who this new witness is, what vantage point he/she had of the collision, and whether or not he/she knows the other driver. If your husband was injured in the collision he needs to contact a Geogia injury attorney to discuss the facts of what collision. You may be able to find an attorney to handle the traffic ticket as part of the injury claim. I've gotten tickets dismissed for clients in the past and gone on to get successful recoveries on their injury claims.Ask a similar question
I wish you were here in Ga. All of the accident attorneies i have spoken to said they will not take his case since he was faulted.
If you were "faulted" for the accident (which it sounds like you were) you need to call your insurance company immediately. They will automatically provide an attorney for you and do their own investigation. They may be able to get the officer to supplement his report to correct any errors.

The insurance company is investigating but they said being that the car only had liability and he was faulted that we would need to get our own attorney to fight the ticket.
Then that is what you should do. Any attorney handling auto accident - personal injury law should be able to help you. If you are successful at beating the ticket, perhaps the insurance company will change their mind regarding liability
I am assuming your husband was not hurt and the claim you want to advance is a defense to the ticket you feel has no basis.
I suggest a lawyer who practices criminal law though I as a personal injury lawyer would be comfortable handling this claim. I would suggest retaining a personal injury or criminal lawyer near you.
If you feel this is the "best" answer or is "helpful," please indicate. Since I am limited to the information you provide, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the answer. You should seek the advise of an attorney who can explore all aspects of your question. This communication does not form an attorney client relationship.Ask a similar question
yes actually his neck, back, and shoulder were hurt. Both he and the other driver were taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Clearly then a personal injury lawyer should be consulted. This lawyer can handle both claims and would want to be involved in whatever decisions are made concerning how to approach the response to the ticket.
Yes, you certainly can challenge this citation. I see this happen all of the time. Make sure your husband initially appears at his arraignment and pleads not guilty. He will then be given a date to appear for the contested hearing regarding the citation. First off, if the other driver and this alleged witness fail to appear (which happens more often than you can imagine), the judge will dismiss the citation. If they do appear, then your husband can testify about the accident on direct and, also, cross examine them in regards to the accident. The officers testimony will not carry any weight, as he did not see the collision. I would recommend you hire an attorney if he really wants to fight it and attempt to get it dismissed. Good luck.Ask a similar question

Pat was not afraid to try anything new. During his healthy days he would snow and water ski, scuba dive, sky dive, rock climb and pretty much anything else you dared him to do. He wanted to experience it all. And damn it he did. That was lesson #1 I learned from him. Life is too short not to go out and try new things.
Lesson #2 was to laugh and make people laugh. Growing up I can remember he always had a ton of friends. He was like a magnet! People just wanted to be around him. I looked up to him so much and he was always proud of me. That I remember. He didn't push me aside as an annoying little sister (which in fact I was), but would let me hang out with him and his friends.
Lesson #3 was when there are things you can't change you deal with it and always be grateful. Although he was practically immobile and couldn't really speak except for a few words he still loved to have a good time. He would give people hugs (as much as he could), he would laugh and he would tease. When the nurses, doctors, or aides helped him he would always say thank you. Pat even said thank you to his hospice nurse. He was grateful. There are things that just suck in our lives, but there is so much more to be grateful.
So this week I am going to celebrate Pat's life, not dwell on his death and reflect on the lesson's he taught me.

DirectX Iteration
The iterate() method of class DXGraphics does all the work needed to render the cube on the screen. In Direct3D, this is done by calling BeginScene(), executing a set of drawing primitives, calling EndScene(), then calling Present().
In a nutshell, all of the drawing in the iterate() method is done by a loop that looks like this:
for ( int face = 0 ; face < 6 ; face++ ) { //do some setup device->SetTexture( texture[ face ] ); device->DrawPrimitive(D3DPT_TRIANGLESTRIP, face * 4, 2 ); }
The code in this loop draws the two triangles that make up each face of the cube while making sure that all pixels are in the right place on the screen. If the cube were always in the same position and orientation on the screen, this would suffice to render it. By default, you'd see an upright cube in the center of the screen. But our cube needs to move and rotate.
Through the power of Direct3D, this is remarkably easy to do. A single line of code is called before the drawing loop:
device->SetTransform( D3DTS_WORLD, &worldMatrix);
This tells Direct3D that the camera viewing the scene should be virtually repositioned to a point specified by the D3DXMATRIX structure called worldMatrix. All method iterate() has to do is manipulate the values of the worldMatrix in order to display the cube in the proper location and orientation.
Remarkably, Direct3D lets you adjust the view, taking into account all six variables of location and rotation, with just three lines of code:
D3DXMatrixRotationYawPitchRoll( &rotMatrix, runTime * yRotStep, runTime * xRotStep, runTime * zRotStep ); D3DXMatrixTranslation( &translateMatrix, x, y, z ); D3DXMatrixMultiply( &worldMatrix, &rotMatrix, &translateMatrix);
The first function call adjusts the matrix for the three spin variables; the second modifies it for the location variables. Combining those two creates the world matrix, which is all Direct3D needs to properly render the cube.
After the drawing completes, the iterate() method performs a couple of miscellaneous chores. First, it calls the makeRightSideUp() member. This routine checks to see if the current image on a given face is being displayed right-side up. If not, the routine adjusts the texture points on the given vertices to make the image right -side up. Second, iterate() checks to see whether the texture-loading thread has supplied a new image. If so, the new image replaces the image on one of the cube faces.

Ruhi of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Ruhanika Dhawan was in Dubai recently and the talented little actress was surprised she had fans internationally.
The cute actress who has won millions of hearts with her role on the show, has a huge fan following in India. She was amazed to see her fans in Dubai when she visited the place on a holiday recently. "Dubai was amazing. I didn't know I had fans internationally. I had carried one bag with me but returned with two. The other one filled by soo many gifts and toys," she was quoted saying.
Popularly called as Ruhi, the princess of television, was happy to meet her fans in Dubai and was stunned to see a huge crowd gathered to see her. The fans of the little actress visited her in a Dubai mall, where an event was organised by Star.
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein had been missing Ruhi in the recent episodes due to this trip. The show had Ruhi leaving for a summer camp on the show, the same way Aditya, Ruhi's brother on the show, was sent on a summer camp on the show as well.
Ruhi will resume her work and her studies soon and she said she was happy about it. "I can't wait for my school to start. I'll meet all my friends after so long. I'm also excited to meet Ishima (Divyanka Tripathi) after sooo many days," she was quoted saying.

Queensland Energy Resources
|Brisbane, Australia
Key people
|Pearse Bowman (CEO)
|Shale oil
Queensland Energy Resources Limited (QERL) is an Australian oil shale mining and shale oil extraction company with the headquarters in Brisbane. It is the developer of the Stuart (Yarwun) and McFarlane oil shale projects.
Queensland Energy Resources Limited was formed in February 2004, when it acquired the assets of the Stuart Oil Shale Project from receivers of the project's former developer, Southern Pacific Petroleum N.L.[1][2] On 21 July 2004, QER announced that the plant would be shut down for economic and environmental reasons.[2][3] From 2005 to 2007, oil shale from its deposits were tested in a pilot plant facility in Rifle, Colorado owned by Shale Technologies. On 14 August 2008, Queensland Energy Resources announced that it had shunned the Alberta Taciuk Processor (ATP) oil shale processing technology in favor of the Paraho II technology and that the ATP technology-based plant was being dismantled, and obsolete components were being sold.[2] On 24 August 2008, the Queensland Government announced an oil-shale mining moratorium over the company-owned McFarlane deposit for 20 years.[4]
On 10 May 2010, the company announced a plan for construction of a small-scale shale-oil demonstration plant at Yarwun (the site of the Stuart Oil Shale Project).[5][6] The new plant produced its first oil on 6 October 2011, and began producing high quality ultra-low sulphur diesel and aviation fuel in September 2012. In February 2013, following a four-year industry review including a full environmental audit of QER's operations, the Queensland Government announced that it would allow the development of a commercial oil shale industry in Queensland under strict environmental conditions. The Government's oil shale policy sets vigorous environmental controls on the industry and allows existing oil shale operator, QER Ltd, to progress the demonstration plant at Gladstone to commercial stage. QER has now successfully completed the demonstration plant program, and is seeking investment in the next stage of its industry development, a commercial facility producing around 8,000 barrels per day of finished fuels. [7]
Queensland Energy Resources holds mining tenement rights to several oil shale deposits in Queensland, Australia. Two major resources are Stuart, located at Yarwun, Queensland, and McFarlane, located near Proserpine. The McFarlane oil shale resource, one of Australia's largest, remains under a 20-year mining moratorium.[4] QER operates a visitor's center at the Yarwun site and has completed a successful technology demonstration plant project based on the Paraho II Technology.
