I think I need to take the time to ?do this right? whatever that means. I?m not big into lens testing and I?m not too mobile these days. My take: contrary to some gushing reviews the A7Rii is not the best camera for shooting M mount glass on the planet. BUT It?s better than my M8. Both of these lens don?t work well on the M8, especially the 15mm which has huge color casts in the magenta at the periphery making it useless. I can produce examples. But it?s a lot better than the original A7R. I haven?t tried either lens on the A7ii yet either. I was actually surprised they did so well! The widest Leica glass I have is the 35mm f2.0 aspherical which I?m eager to try and compare with the Loxia 35mm f2.0. The Loxia has the advantage on the A7 of automatically zooming in to aid focus - a feature my aging eyes appreciate. Adam
