Anyone using this camera for video work?

@sohus I do mate, it works pretty cool. I use it with many vintage prime lenses. It turned to get my first choice camera for the still photography.

Sony Face Detect AF with Affordable Adapters

I use this mostly for stills but make the occasional video too. Here is one I made a couple of weeks back ..

It's a short highlight vid of a kids sports competition, I was doing other work as well as the filming but managed to get this together to play at the closing ceremony (had to edit at the end of each day)

Anyone using this camera for video work? If so, what lenses are you using? I am currently using the 35/2.8 and 55/1.8 and am looking into expanding to wide-angle and portrait lens, or possibly swith to Loxia or Batis series of lenses.

Sony Alpha a7 II Mirrorless Digital Camera, $1199

Thought I would add this Music vid/Short film I shot for my band. Not a lot of people using this cam for video it seems.

Really it is my stills camera, buts it's what I had available at the time. Some moire issues but it did perform fine in -25c temps (filmed in Astana, Kazakhstan).

The black and white section was using a bmpcc in the uk.

I'm more of an audio guy than video, so 'graded' with filmconvert. Used Canon fd 24mm and 50mm with a Tiffen black pro mist 1/8

Canon EF Lenses on Sony A7 II

Sony released Firmware 2.0 for the nearly year-old A7 II today, though it was put up a few hours early by several Sony sites in Europe, so those who wanted could do the upgrade last night if they so desired. This firmware was billed primarily for bringing uncompressed RAW capability to the A7 II, which it does, though I honestly think that buries the lead. The standout feature of the new firmware is adding phase-detect capabilities to the A7 II when used with adapted lenses. This capability was first seen on the A7R II earlier this year, but few thought that was something the A7 II would gain via firmware update.

B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of a new firmware update for the Sony Alpha a7 II Mirrorless digital camera, which is scheduled for release on November 18. This update brings the uncompressed raw option -- first seen in the a7S II and a7R II -- to the a7 II, and provides users with the choice between smaller file sizes via compression or the retention of as much image data as possible for advanced raw file development. Along with this, the camera's AF system sees a massive boost in performance with the 117-point on-sensor phase detection AF array now supporting adapted lenses, such as those from Sony's A-mount line. This is similar to what we have already seen with the a7R II, and ensures fast, accurate autofocus performance with a vast variety of glass, making the move to mirrorless much easier. Additionally, Sony is adding more customization options to the camera, allowing movie recording to be assigned to a custom key.
