(just discovered that #2 has some ugly vignetting along the short edges that I have not noticed in any other shots with this lens, probably exaggerated by increased contrast/ clarity but still not very nice..

Also I would like to know the same for you Phillip, why you chose the 7 over the 7r.
It was an easy choice for me
I am a student, so it would have been hard to finance the a7r. I would probably have managed to, if it had an image stabilizer and the a7 had not.
I rarely print big so I have no need for the resolution plus most of my images are handhold and it is hard enough to get the maximum out of the a7, would require even more tripod use for the a7r
I think the electronic first shutter curtain is an important argument for the a7
I ordered some big prints from my a7 for the first time and they should arrive this week, I am looking forward to see how well the a7 holds up

Sony can decide what gap of time there is between the A7(R)'s shutter closing (live view) and then opening (exposure). I think it would help.
Sensor and gut-wise, I agree with you that it seems there's naught to do.

Thanks Philip and mills. You've been very helpful. I've been looking at samples, looking at videos, etc for the last few days. At first I wanted the 7r for the extra resolution but it would require too much for me. Right now I'm leaning towards the a7, especially since you guys mention about the shutter lag, the lack of the electronic first curtain, and the necessity for good handholding technique.
Right now I have a 13 month old to chase around and while I'm not expecting to track her, I would like some good quality images of her. I do have a 0 series Gitzo tripod that I use and can carry around but if I could not have to use it all the time it would be even better. Plus at least for the first few months I would most likely use native FE glass then add adapted glass later. I'm not sure my skills are good enough for the 7r. Maybe get the 7, learn, improve, and then later on get the 7r or an improved model with hopefully IBIS, NEX 7 like styling, or other improvements.

Thank you Michiel.I have just acquired 4 new lenses.Two od them I have never owned before.
BTW:Looking at your sunny,colourful shots above I feel that my Contax lenses were redundant a bit too long.

Quick first tries with the fabulous Canon FD 200/4 Macro (beware, two versions exist, one without the macro). Great lens with an awesome bokeh, extremely soft, pretty sharp and gorgeous colors. No vignetting, but CA, easy to hunt on Lightroom, and no flare treatment, it was before SCC.
On A7r with Novoflex adapter
The second picture is from my son Grichka.

"I ordered some big prints from my a7 for the first time and they should arrive this week, I am looking forward to see how well the a7 holds up"
Phillip, can you tell me what type of paper you are having the prints made on? I am also ordering some large prints for some shots form my A7 and am trying to decide between e satin and fine art paper. Any advice? I want my prints to look as close to the image on my Mac retina display as possible. I am getting some proofs done with both paper types this week.
thanks for the help.

true, but proper illumination on a glossy print can look pretty impressive still.

Sorry, I am a total n00b when it comes to printing. My prints are on canvas from a special offer, I payed only 60€ for five 40cmx60cm prints and I don't expect great but decent quality.
My FD 4/300 L arrived. I am super thrilled by it, I wasn't that impressed by a lens in quite some time. Usually I have 3-6 images from a photowalk which I consider publishable. Today I had 18 and I used the lens exclusively.
