Yea . My issue still is cost and 12mpx with the S. If it had 16 or better I would have probably jumped on it.

Putting a big DSLR-lens with an adapter on a small mirrorless body doesnt sound like very well balanced to me. Wouldnt you combine the disadvantages of the A7-series (in regards of AF, no top display, short battery live, too many buttons) with the disadvantages of DSLR-lenses (size)?I'm actually going to stay pat on the A7r and sell my 85 1.4 and get a 24-70 zoom 2.8 . I think the one stop will help. The A7II is actually good with the 16-35 but not the 24-70 Sony and not sure why that is. I also have the Loxia 35 and 50 coming as needed in that area. My mention of Sony and fast AF is more the A77II but DSLR cams are a non starter for me. I'm so freaking bored of them I can't tell us. 40 years of any one thing is way too long. I like the good parts of mirror less . I would not go back for a slight increase in the D810 ability. Not a big enough jump from what I sold off.
AND who's whining about not wanting the bulk of a full blown DSLR system ... those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... snip ..The issue is Sony in the FE mount are not making 2.8 zooms because all the freaking whiners about camera size vs lens size.
Guy, LA-EA4+A mount lens = a57/65 AF (Focus Points : 15-point AF system with 3 cross sensors). I doubt it will be accurate enough for your shooting conditions.The ZA Sony 24-70 is not bad either but I'm not willing to spend that kind of money....
Thoughts on what 2.8 zoom would AF best on these A7 series. Obviously it's going to be a A mount with my LAe4 adapter.
