For whatever reason I?m a bit disappointed in the results from the 50mm which seems a bit soft at infinity but which does well close and in the middle distance. The other lenses seem to work just fine. Perhaps I?m not critical enough. The 100 APO is a terrific match to the A7r which makes me think that the other R lenses might work well also. I have gotten good at the manual focusing workflow with the Leica lenses. I just got (as in yesterday) the 55mm Zeis. Maybe I?ve taken a dozen shots with it. Life has been very busy. I?m waiting for things to calm down and then I can do some more serious exploration. Perhaps going through the process of doing custom Lightroom lens profiles. Or not. We?ll see. The camera handles very well. I?m going to put on a traditional e-mount lens and see how the camera performs in cropped mode. Have a good!
