Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Colour cast series for the M 50 Lux and the F1 Noctilux, plus aperture series of distant landscape with both lenses. In short, less colour casts than wider lenses as expected, fairly useable for some purposes and best from F5.6 for colour shifts on both. In terms of edge sharpness, both ideally need F11 at which point diffraction has taken the shine off the centre but not by as much as you might think. In particular, the 'donut' field of focus shape of the Notctilux is as evident as it was on the M240. However, both lenses can produce some gorgeous files creatively at wider apertures, and are acceptable technically when stopped down enough. I will keep both… but if it could just be one, it would be the Nocti, because it is so damned sexy!
