Well I always said you buy a system not a piece of gear, so I am doing something completely different here on this thread . Folks it does not get much better than these 3 lenses and a A7RII. So why not put it all together in one package. I will start with the lenses and move into the A7RII with some specific tests and most everything was shot with these 3 lenses plus my little sweetheart of a lens the Voightlander 15 Version III.
Now the lens tests are boring and I apologize right out of the gate . But its a scene I have tested hundreds of lenses against and it has what i need for a good test. I can test the corners and central sharpness with ease and I can immediately tell how good a lens is or if it has a issue which my 35mm does and I will bring that up as well. I have a assymetrical issue with the Sony 35mm 1.4 which seems a few folks have the same issue. The left side is worse than the right top corners but at F4 its very clean in all the corners. But the reason its not going anywhere is even at 1.4 in the center 5.6 is no better its that good wide open. For landscape I would only care at F4 , 5.6 for the corners but for people shots wide open I do not care about my corners. So its a keeper
So lets get on with it
