A7.mod with a new thin sensor stack

Unread post by CharlieWebster »

I thought you guys might be interested in seeing some imagery from the A7 with it's very thick cover glass (that's makes wide performance problematic with many lenses), replaced by a new 1mm cover glass.

Here is the service:

The AA filter and dust shaker are also removed and the sensor is moved forward to keep AF and other aspects the same.

I have one of the first modified bodies. This can be done to A7, A7r, and possibly A7s. Not yet to the A7ii.

Interesting. I wish I could see before and after images.
