I have used the CF 40, 80, and 120 on the A7R and A7RII on a tripod with the Cambo Actus (provides shift/tilt capability) and they are fine. I tried using them also via adapter directly to the camera, but the lenses are too large and heavy for handheld use.Hi, I appreciate your experience and opinions concerning the A7R2.
But now I would like to ask the forum, if anyone of you has experience,
using the Hasselblad / Zeiss CF-Lenses attached to the A7R2.
I would use my Novoflex E-Lens adapter.
Thank you for your reply.

So do I assume the R 19 works well on the A7R2 with no corner issues?Hi K H,
You are welcome. You have some great R lenses. I remembered Leica saying in the 90's that some of the R lenses were the best they could manufacture during that time. The Holy Grail of the R lenses is the 35-70 Vario-Elmarit f2.8. Apparently, Leica lost money for every 35-70 VE f2.8 lens they sold! Unfortunately, collectors have pushed the price to beyond belief. I nearly bought the 70-180 mm Apo-Elmarit. But at just over 4 lbs, it was a beast to carry. The performance of this lens from 70-110mm is equal to the 90m AA or the 100 Apo-Macro Elmarit. The 3 R lenses that I used when travelling are the 19mm Elmarit R v2, 35-70 VE f4.0 and 180mm Apo-Elmarit. Since my DMR days, I have used the A850, M240, A7R and now the A7R M2 with my R lenses. For my travel photography, the A7R M2 is my R solution!
No corner issue with both A7R and A7R2. Here is an example with the A7R,So do I assume the R 19 works well on the A7R2 with no corner issues?
Thank you Dave.K-H, what a formation you captured there!
You must live in a beautiful place.Thank you Dave.
The cranes are coming in waves, depending on the thermals and wind conditions, for about a month almost every day.
They fly extremely high, one can often hear them but it's difficult to see them.
Their route also varies. It's between the Rio Grande river and the Jemez mountains, about 10 miles apart at my place.
The best chance to take a picture of them is when they are fairly low and begin circling in a thermal.
Typically on their migration south they pass my location mid to late afternoon.
Then they have another 2 to 3 hours to fly until they reach their winter quarters. :grin:
