Ash: Thanks! It's fun to see our differing, but similar, "takes" on what we were shooting. That Noctilux of yours excells on the A7!Matt, looks like with think and process alike. Love the shot of the honey and the great wheel in the middle of the last set...
Hi Marc,Nice shots Werner! Is the 18mm the Zeiss on a Nikon mount? If so, how do you like it? Any comments vs. the Zeiss 21mm? I have the Zeiss 21mm but would like to change for the 18 for weight and space reasons.
Thanks!
Dave, from reports, I thought the Leica WATE work well (?) ... seems like that would be the dream WA lens, and be easier to work with than on a M camera with the Frankenfinder.
Well, of course, you don't need a frankenfinder on an M camera anymore - at least, not on the M(240), where the LCD is really useful for framing with the WATE - my frankenfinder gathers dust.The WATE does appeals to be ideal but unfortunately I sold mine long before there was even a hint of the A7(r) and reacquiring one is unfortunately at a steep premium. Love the thought though that the Frankenfinder would no longer be needed. If only I had known.
Hi DaveThere are times I need near optimal edge to edge sharpness at focal lengths of 18mm, 21mm and 28mm without color casts (even though there are specific ways to reduce it... and from all I've seen and read, it can be problematic with a substatial majority of lenses with these focal lengths. I've seen the Leica 21mm f3.4 and that looks good as does the VC 35mm f1.2 and 18mm f4 Zeiss-M. The Olympus lenses look promising, maybe perform better on the A7r than the Leica M lenses in general.
I hope there can be a greater percentage of postings with these and other wide/ultra wide angle lenses in order to clearly delineate where and with what lenses lie issues relative to their interaction with the sensor...esepcailly in real world shooting. Thanks!

Hi There - I think you're quite right about M lenses.I generally gave up on M-Lenses with the Sony.
I can use, for the special look, the Noctilux (have an old one) or the Cron 90/2 (old as well) but all other specially WW's are out for me.
