After having tried the A7r and A7 with my M lenses your article on Steve Huff`s blog inspired me to trade in the A7r for a A7s. It`s fantastic with my M lenses andYes, Photokina is close. My guess is that Sony will release one FF E mount...a low cost FF without an EVF, but with "best in class" focusing...Just a guess, but this positions them well to offer something to those toying with the idea of an A7 series camera, but don't want to pay the price...I'd say....$999.
The A7s is a revelation for me...Silent shutter is the biggest benefit, followed by ISO performance. I have only really been using M lenses, though I did snag a 55 at a great price....
Coupled with the CV VM-E mount close focus adapter, I have many opportunities to find new creative uses for my M lenses and discrete methods of shooting in any light. Comparing files ot my M9 base ISO files, it's hard to distinguish other than that the DR is better for the A7s....
I also think it is cool that one can work with a totally BW workflow.I normally use the same settings shooting manual only.
SS 1/320 to leave out any handshake blur.

I started to shoot solely with a B&W mindset since I really fell in love how the S renders the midtones. Prints are looking gorgeous.
How large are you printing?No way 12 MP is good for landscape.. sorry!
Hmmm ... my experience is the opposite. Tremendous detail. Wonderful skin tones (in both stills and video). In fact, it's very much in line with MR's A7S Review (Luminous Landscape):Lambert. Perhaps I didn't answer your question how large I print 7S files?
I think the prints looks nice up to A3 if the idea is not aiming at showing a lot of detail. It means the files are looking pretty good for fine art low detail images.
If the aim is to render tiny details, which I think is the case for many of us, contradictory enough I find my 16 MP files from the EM1 resolving far beyond what could be expected from an only 4 MP larger file!
Shooting people or street (not literally of course) with 7S I find the skin tones a bit cartoon-like if you know what I mean? Tonal range off perhaps.
Well you see I have my issues with the 7S. That said I am pretty happy with it anyway.
Thanks so mich. I always shoot RAW and do quite a bit of PP in LR5. I have set up a few custom tweaks, modified to reduce the orange bit of cast I see in skin tones....and I have enjoyed the output, for the most part....Lovely shots Ashwin
Your images shows a very nice artistic rendering we are not used to by nowadays hi-rez sensors.
May I ask you whether these images are RAW OOC or in any way PP, or simply OOC JPEGs?
I don't quite get along with the RAW colors out of camera and I can neither quite get the color tone (or space) I am used to work with.
I am using ACR/PS. Setting WB, tint in ACR and use the color-hue-saturation tool after curves to adjust the color offset.
