The A7R handles the Zeiss 15mm F3.5 very nicely indeed. I think that where Sony is going with the A7 series is spectacular for folks with good glass needing a home. Especially welcome is real time exposure reinforcement in the viewfinder. With shadow and highlight changes showing as you change exposure compensation and a histogram showing in the viewfinder you are never in the dark as to where your image is going.
