Sony A7R, Summilux 35 pre ASPH
A friend of mine in Japan, the one who convinced me to look at the pre-ASPH over the ASPH, sent me some samples from his a7r that convinced me it's okay to let go of the Summicron-C 40. Once he gets around to posting them, I'll post the link.
The guy shoots nothing at infinity, so I had to ask him to make an exception for me with the request that he put "something in the corners". So I get what looks like a no-effort landscape of a sloped hill and some scraggly trees. A f/1.4, if you don't correct for the vignetting, which he didn't, corner performance isn't going to matter much, so all I'm seeing are contrasty blobs. But by f/4, enough of the vignetting is gone and the corners are sharp enough that I can see, on the lower right-hand corner, in this little clearing, there's two people making out. By 5.6, I can see it's his wife and a half-inflated blow-up doll. From f/8 on I can see, in very clear detail, her trying to re-inflate the doll.
So it was a real "be careful what you wish for" kind of thing, but the performance was what I expected. What I didn't expect- stopped all the way down, I don't see any evidence of diffraction.
