[Leica] SONY A7 new model.....

[John McMaster]

It will be no better than the previous A7 with shorter Leica lenses, WATE being about the only lens shorter than 50mm which plays well and even then some were unhappy, as sensor is unchanged and best with retrofocus lenses....

Agree. 
Curious to hear how it handles with wide angle lenses. 
Also specs seem to tout IS and in camera processing mated best to Sony lenses. Concerns me a bit if used with Leica lenses. 

Looking forward to Lugger real life experiences, Bob
