TBH John I don't get this although I've seen a few people say it. If you are buying a Metabones then I understand not being willing to splash out on more at that price, but many adaptors (and very good ones such as the Fotodiox) are only around $30-40 so you buy an adaptor and leave it on the lens. many of the guys posting superb shots in this thread are even using the $10 Chinese ones. Choose the glass you want, don't let the adaptor choose it for you.Yeah I'll +1 that 
I went with a targeted-lens approach so I shoot Pentax, FD, Leica-R, Minolta, and FE. The only adapter that really cost me is the Metabones R to E mount adapter ($99), and it fits so snugly that it would be a pain to swap it out all the time.
For every mount except the Minolta (which I own several Minolta MD lenses), I just leave the adapter on the lens. I do swap the Minolta adapter out, but that's generally because I choose just 1 MD lens to shoot with during a given day - if...Show more →
Appreciate the insights here - my experience with cheap adaptors on my OM-D has been mixed, and I've seen the review from Roger at Lens Rentals describing inaccuracies in adaptors and their variable effect on sharpness across the full image frame. I take it that you folk don't find that a problem in practice. The other advantage I see with sticking with a consistent lens family is only needing one size filter (within reason) - I do a bit with ND, closeup (Nikon 3&4T) and polariser filters, and good ones aren't cheap. On the other hand mounting FD lenses onto their adaptor is less straight forward than say M43, so can see the sense in having one for each.

A couple more, trying to get the hang of the upload system. I was used to making them 2000 pixel wide side for flickr but here it makes for a rather large picture so going with 1200 for now.

I just really liked how this couple matched their clothing to their car color so asked them if they would mind posing with it, which they were happy to do. Told me that many photogs would ask them to back out of the shot as they wanted just the car, so it was nice to feel included lol
Wonder how many blue polo's she had to buy him before they found one that was the right color ?
A7 55/1.8

Pretty nice contrast & clarity here...
What do you think of this lens? (I have one on order but it is backordered at the moment.)

I have either an A7 or A7R with me every day, like the first year I had an M9. But every time I use the A7R, I curse those who decided to settle on its clacking shutter system. If I have a winner of a shot, though, I forget about the shitty shutter while exploring the depth and tonality of whatever that gorgeous sensor captures.

Hahah I've seen this guy at just about every bike race I go to in LA. He's a pretty chill guy. He's very popular in the social media world. Hes been seen on set with LMFAO on the "I'm sexy and I know it" video. his instagram is "KevinLeeLight" (his name). Dude has over 8,000 followers.

Lots of nice images in this thread. I finally took the plunge...ordered an A7r last night from B&H, adapters from Amazon, and spare batteries from Sterlingtek. Now the wait...

So far, I am quite pleased with the lens performance. I would still prefer "look" of my Contax C/Y glass at 28 and 35mm, but the convenience of this particular range in a single lens is very appealing. I am not a pixel peeper but the corners look well above average to my eyes. While attending the event in the above photos, other camera enthusiasts were attracted to my lens and camera combo assuming by its size that I was shooting a fast 135mm or a slow 200mm. This lens has some bulk to it, but not as heavy as it looks. This is not your invisible street lens. Great for framing landscapes.
