Bought a Contax MMJ 100-300 Vario Sonnar recently for my A7RII.
I found one with high serial number (840xxxxx) in Korea.
I owned 80-200/4 C/Y Vario-Sonnar, 70-200/4 L IS Canon, 80-200/4 L FD Canon and a 70-200/4 Nikon before, but none of them was as brilliant.
This one is @ 1/250 sec and 300 mm wide open (f5,6.) hand held.
300 mm is the weak spot, the lens is best at 100 mm wide open. (So it can only get better...)
More to follow.
No, the Pentax is silly good for landscape and was so cheap. And the Batis is noticeably wider and has speed and sharpness at wider apertures.

Keeping both, Tim ? Or are you considering selling any?
Charles, I love your rendition from that lens!
Two images from the Sin City with the Batis 25mm - the first one late in the afternoon while the low setting sun was reflected off the building/casino behind me. Frankly, I didn't notice/see the sun rays filtering through the clouds when I took the shot. Well, at least not until I darkened the sky in PP later . The second image, well, it is self-explanatory .
