I will be VERY happy if my 90mm Elmarit-R ROM performs this well on my A7. Hope to have my Novoflex adapter on Monday.A7 + Leica Elmarit-M 90MM @ F4.

Love these shots! The 55/1.8 FE is looking really good.Ash: Nicely done! Do you have a "release" for those last photos?
Shots from today's meander through the Pike Place Market with Ashwin. A7 with Sony Zeiss 55mm F/1.8.
Cheers, Matt
Everybody: Thanks. Always fun, and productive, to go out with a fellow enthusiast to shoot. I'm liking that lens. Not sure why anybody wouldn't?Matt: Once more a nice set from your journey, and I'm sure, you won't be surprised too much that I particularly like the last two.
HI MichielSunset walk. (part II)
Thank you, Jono.HI Michiel
I love all these - the evening light has done really well (no Nikon Yellow Paint here).
Did you use a tripod for the shots with the Canon 100 f2?
all the best
Makten,Some shots with the Olympus OM 55/1.2 on a7, wide open...
And what it looks like on the camera with a Novoflex adapter...
I myself had found that the A7R can make lens perform great that did not look good on previous digital cameras due to aberrations. Thus this is the positive finding which opposes the negative finding of wide angle Leica M and other range finder wide and especially super-wide angle lens on this camera. On another note, I also sometimes prefer the old Zeiss SLR lens (I don't have new version) over the Leica M lens due to color and clarity, which is a shocking finding on my part. This does make sense since Zeiss is designing lens for the Sony camera system. From another angle, I prefer my Leica M lens on my M9 over the Sony. This last note will need much more space to write so I will keep it short here. Perhaps just perhaps a reason why Jono returned his camera?Thank you, Jono.
No tripod. I am really glad with that 100/2 FD. No camera till now did so much justice to my FD lenses or the other way around.
The fit between camera and adapter is perfect; just like a native lens. Between adapter and lenses it's a bit tighter, but not exstensively so. The adapter is also darkish, almost black, on all the internal faces, so I expect no problems with flare and have never seen it so far.Makten,
I'm very interested in Olympus OM legacy lenses on Sony a7/a7r. How does the Novoflex adapter behave with your Sony mount, and the OM mount; e.g. does the fit of each feel well matched?
Yes, I have the 21/3.5 SC, 28/3.5 SC, 28/2 MC, 35/2.8 SC and they are all very good except for the extreme corners, unless stopping down quite a bit. They are so tiny that I actually like that the adapter is fairly long! It makes the ergonomics better.I'm particularly interested in Sony/OM wide-angle combinations down to, say, OM 24mm; have you shot any wide-angle OMs, and if so, how's the result? Hope you or someone else can give feedback.
