[Leica] Sony A7

[Sonny Carter]

Frank, do you own any wide angle slr lenses?  My experience with Konica,
Nikon and Pentax on adapters was pretty good on the A7r.

As I've shown, the A7s seems to have overcome many of the wide angle
problems and I'm happily shooting my 15mm CV as well as my Summilux 35 on
it.
