+1 for the 90mm Apo-Summicron-M ASPH. I've found mine to be sharp corner-to-corner with the A7R:Agreed..... I have the 90 Apo Summicron Asph M and find it to be outstanding on the A7r. I am also very fussy and know a good lens when I see one.....

Regarding lenses for the A7R, I find it somewhat masochistic to use a big honkin' DSLR lens on the compact A7/A7R cameras. Especially when there's a decent 36MP 35mm full-frame DSLR camera alternative - the D800E - or decent small lightweight lens alternatives at the desired focal length(s). The incredibly small Sony A7/A7R, IMHO, demands lenses that complement its size and weight. My recommendation of the Sonnar T* FE 35mm F2.8 ZA native lens is consistent with that philosophy and reinforced by Lloyd Chambers' findings in his recent article comparing the Leica 35mm Summilux-M, Zeiss ZM 35mm f/2 and the Sony/Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 native lens on the A7R. Bottom line: the Sony/Zeiss 35mm native lens more than held its own against its pricier breathren.
And to be completely honest, I'll be trying some DSLR lens alternatives for the longer focal lengths (>135mm) until Sony introduces native lens alternatives in the new mount.
