I kind of plan on buying the A7RII and the A9 (or whatever they call it) as my two bodies.

Myself regardless of what the A mount is . Im not in the market for it. Ill just take the A7r replacement. Sure i would like a 50mpx cam but Im okay with 36mpx too

Me too... I think the lenses are actually coming for the FE mount and it looks like Sony is sticking to the three different style bodies (balanced performer, high MP, and 4K) with regular updates to each.
I think the updates to the bodies will get on a slightly faster than normal pro schedule once they are to a certain level of refinement... Possibly even consolidating the 4K and High MP body down the line. That's just my wild prediction based on nothing. I'm hoping the Monochrome rumor is true though... I prefer that to even the high MP sensor but I would actually prefer it in a FE pro body.

I know enough to say that everything is unpredictable with Sony. If only they will make a set of compact f2 primes, it would look good.

Really like the shots and your different approach to PP but I would be interested in seeing the original ARW files so as to be able to judge the lenses performance a bit more. Thanks for posting

In case you haven't seen one yet, here it is with the included hood.
PS
I also ordered from T-dimensions in Hong Kong, not wanting to wait for US vendors.

Thanks but I own one for quite some time now.

I will see if I can find a link to one of the transfer site and will load a pic or two when I get a chance.Can anyone already using the 2.0/28 post a 100% crop of the edges of a wide scene focused at infinity (for instance a landscape scene, horizon parallel... or almost parallel to the image plane) shot @f5.6 of f8 with the A7R?
Many, many, many, many, many thanks in advance!!!
I think f/4 is the best aperture already. No need to go to f/5.6 or lower.

DPreview has just issued a series of samples taken by the 28mm f2.0.Can anyone already using the 2.0/28 post a 100% crop of the edges of a wide scene focused at infinity (for instance a landscape scene, horizon parallel... or almost parallel to the image plane) shot @f5.6 of f8 with the A7R?
Many, many, many, many, many thanks in advance!!!
There are about 30 pictures taken with either the A7r, the A7 and the A7mk2.
There are some at infinite and smaller apertures. The lens isn't yet in stock here, but I just checked the price of the online stores and it is quite correct..

This lens seems like a much more natural pair for the 55FE and most of the shots I've seen seem to exhibit quite a bit more character than the 35FE... Add to cart.
I can't lie... I don't expect them to be great but I'm half curious about the 21mm converter. It may not be THAT bad but I'm waiting to see more shots.

I'm taking that combo to San Francisco tomorrow. Quick trip up to Sacramento but I'm going to snap a few frames. Between the two, you have primes to cover 28mm, 42mm, 55mm and 83mm, if you lean on APS-C mode.

I lean on APS-c mode often myself. One reason to have a A6000 lurking about

If you crop in post, but no further then APS-C you can also say you have two zooms (28-42 and 55 to 83).

Yeah, who needs an optical converter when you can crop! One lens is more than enough.

More shot samples and there's a few with the UWC and FEC as well for those potentially interested in them.
