Re: Fun with the A7/7R
No issues at all with the 7r Mark. Now I would trade my r19 for this. Maybe

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
This is not presented as a great photo - it isn't - but as evidence that the a7r + Voigtlander adapter + Voigtlander 12 mm work just fine together as long as you use an LCC plate. The corners are not 100% perfect but good enough.
Also noteworthy is that this shot was at 1/30th and shows no evidence of shutter vibration and no smearing in the corners (tho' there's distortion of circular objects!).

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Yes i was pleased with the performance of this lens from day one. That is why i was a bit more surprised by some of the results with some of the other M lenses

Thanks Zoran. I think it was about f5.6. I need to start taking notes when I'm shooting with these lenses again.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Another lens that's worth trying?
This is a 1950s 8.5 cm f2 Nikkor RF lens on A7.
I used an Amadeo S to M adapter, then a Voigtlander M to E adapter. The whole thing was a bit wobbly – but with focus magnification, focus was always right on.
F2.8,with focus on near edge of blue gate. It's equally sharp all the way to the corners – no smearing, no color shift.
By 'equally' sharp, I mean it's as sharp at wide apertures as a 50s lens could ever be, with a sort of classic look, probably attributable to some flare. If you like this &/or have Nikon S gear, this lens looks like a keeper.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R
Thank you again Gary! Yeah, I know what you mean, same here, if I don't take notes (which I don't tend to do) I am later scratching my head not just which aperture but which lens I shot with LOLThanks Zoran. I think it was about f5.6. I need to start taking notes when I'm shooting with these lenses again.
