Yes, definite improvement. The worst part of the images is in the gray label towards the right of the image. Chroma noise seems more apparent there. It even was worse than the black Jack Daniels label.
But nothing like the JPEG out of the camera in terms of munging.
Sorry about not being able to post. I should have realized that sooner.
I don't shoot high ISO very often though, so I'm probably not the best judge. I will say that nothing I've seen so far in the RAW files has scared me away from the a7R. I have one on preorder, so I have skin in the game.
PS: If using the IDC RAW converter, turn OFF the default "Auto" settings like Noise reduction, Shading Compensation and D-Range Optimizer, then bring the TIFF file to Lightroom.
R'U sure, his eyes lashes (that's where the focus point) look sharp to me... show me f1.2 shot that sharper than this one...when the guitarist moving with music in this light condition. Have you shot f1.2 lenses before...give SteveHuff some credit here. Here is another angle shot of the same player http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00129.jpg

No offense, Fred, but looking at those pictures, I am underwhelmed by both the camera and lens and that's an overstatement .
Yeah, they are mostly awful, or is that artsy fartsy nowadays?
I just want to see a fine lens like a tele prime or macro at f8 on a solid tripod at ISO 100. They should also place some objects at the corners so we can see how the microlenses work with EF-adapted lenses.

+1, it does not look right with those EF converter & Zeiss 55f1.4 shots...feel like extension tube effects...or maybe the lens at wide open

Michael, it looks like you are 100% sold on the camera, huh ? Good for you!
Yes...even EF lenses does not work...there are lot of fast voitlander lenses available Joshua, I am thinking smaller set ready for my retirement trips.
As mentioned previous posts. Samples of A7r and Zeiss 55f1.4 does not look that hot. Still in question of the lens or EF converter. Thank you, gentlemen

It's user error. The only thing the adaptor can do is not mount the lens perfectly straight. If you are shooting shallow dynamic range and manually focussing correctly than the adaptor cannot possible harm the image quality (unless there is a light leak - very unlikely).
The more plausible explanation is that you can't just hand an unseen camera body and brand new ultrafast manual lens to a bunch of journalists and expect them to produce flawless images right away.
I've seen enough samples of the Otus 55 f/1.4 to believe the lens is not at fault here!
