I finally read all 323 pages on this thread. I have felt like an addict getting his fix & saying to myself, "just one more page..."
I got my A7r & have fixed the Metabones adapter with the Black felt.
Yesterday, I had a chance to shoot at East Sooke Park (a coastal rain forest park near us). Shooting in the deep woods has always been very difficult & largely defeated the dynamic range of any of my previous cameras, (Fuji S2 up to Canon 1DsIII); but, the A7r is clearly in a class of its own in this regard.
The attached images were shot with the much maligned 24-105/4L and the 100-400L. I'm quite pleased with the quality.

Nice shot Charles! IŽd like to ask about that magenta cast in the upper left part of the image/sky. It was due to CPL or in PP? Thx, Mark.
Thanks Mark The slight magenta cast is also very typical with the M240 too, with 16 to 18 mm FL, with the sun on your shoulder. It can be very easily removed just by using a graduated filter in LR, but I prefer to leave it in.
Been a while since I used a polarizer other than for waterfalls. Woah...
Sony a7R + Nikon Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 AI-s
1/40 @ f/11 (ISO 100)
Not the best composition, just playing around with the lens. All I can say is that I'm really impressed with it, I have the real feeling of depth with this shot.

man, I've never been impressed with this lens until now.
thanks!
it's certainly not an impressive lens in the traditional sense. it is basically just an uncoated prewar contax 50/1.5 put in a crappy aluminum body though, so if you've ever liked what you saw in one of those you can get the same thing for a lot cheaper in a jupiter-3.
