Dear fellow timelapsers,
I am wondering if any of use are using the Sony A7 mirrorless camera for your timelapses.
I've got a problem I need to solve, it's about fixing the aperture to avoid frickr free transitions. In my Canon 5D Mark II I detach the lens from the body, add a sticker to the sensor so there is no communication with the camera, this will give me a fixed aperture througout the timelapse, the famouse lens twist trick, it works perfect.
But it seems this doesn't work on Sony A7. I have Sony A7 + Fotodiox Canon to Sony adapter so I can use my 16-35mm and 70-200mm canon lenses on my Sony A7.
The problem is that they told me the lens twist trick won't work on Sony A7. How can I solve that problem? How can I set a fix aperture on Sony A7 and my canon lenses for a holy grail transition.
Anybody that has gone through this before me?
Thanks in advanced for your time and support.
Have a great day.
