That said, always carry a spare on important shoots, and keep an eye on the battery level. BTW, I'll soon be getting my a7rii back from Kolarivision with the new astro cover glass -- extended red sensitivity, but not IR. Think digital Tech Pan -- superior B&W (with not bad color when color temp set down at 2900. The original astro filter was thin -- great for Leica M lenses (but still not as thin as the M sensor cover). This wil be the first attempt at matching the OEM optical thickness. The 21mm Loxia was sent is with the camera. It's the "canary in the coal mine." If they can match OEM resolution across the board and at the infinity stop with their attempt, I'll go for it. Otherwise they replace the OEM glass at their cost. We'll see if they succeeded.
