[Leica] Sony A7R and Zeiss FE 55

[David Ching]

Have the same combo, shot the moon handheld at 1/15 about 3 months ago.

Result about similar to the Oly EM-5 with a Pany zoom maxed to 300mm (600mm equiv). Could see clearly the craters of the red moon then. 
Amazing even wide open. And at a quarter the price of an Otus, of course slower and slightly 'lower' performance. A must-have native AF lens. Pity the noisy shutter though. And if noise matters, try the new D810. I am a new convert. Traded in an instant my D800E. Don't let others tell you that it is merely an evolution. The quieter shutter alone is worth the ticket. Not to mention more than a dozen improvements. Check out the highlight matrix metering and the new split screen level metering which now puts the Nikon in the XYZ direction levelling (true 3D). And more. 

If you haven't bought the A7R, please try the A7S and tell me what you think. Perhaps the silent electronic shutter will tilt into its favour. Was told by others that the low light performance is stupendous. 

Best,

David Ching
