Let me know when you are coming to HD ......we will leave virtuality and meet with real beer!!
Canon FD SSC 55/1.2 is another great lens on the A7 as it was the case with NEXes.Sharp with plenty of 3D wide open.The spherical glow may also be something desirable at times.
This thread continues to impress! Here are 2 from this week. First one taken with the CV90 APO Lanthar and the 2nd one taken with the Leica WATE at I think 16mm.

Here are some images of thistle that I took last evening near the top of the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA. All images tripod mounted Leica R 280mm f4 Apo Telyt lens and my Sony A7r; images processed in LR5.6.
Anyone having any problems with posterization when editing in PS from lightroom? I've been noticing it a lot with jpegs, but the problem occurs with ARW files too.
With the image below, unedited, I clicked on edit in PS CC (2014) and there was no posterization evident in lightroom, however upon opening in PS, the band of light at the top portion of the screen was banding heavily. It made sense to me why I was seeing jpeg posterization, but wasn't sure why an unedited raw file would do this.
I ran the completely unedited photo through the downscaling script and it appears to have gone away. Is this a normal issue? I'm too new at this to have any past experience from which to draw a conclusion.
I know that I posted the first image in this pair earlier today. I am still trying to figure out how to limit the vibration of the A7r camera with long lenses in the vicinity of 200mm and longer particularly in the Portrait orientation. As more tests are run, I will try to post some results. But, both of these images were shot with my tripod mounted Leica R 280mm f4 Apo Telyt lens and my A7r. Images shot at ISO 800, I believe f4 for 1/160 second. and processed in LR5.6. The 2nd image is about a 100% crop. Look at the amazing sharpness in some of the lines in some of the thistle flower; this is what I focused on at 14.4X in Live View of the A7r.
