Stupid question: Is it possible to set the aperture manually on this lens?
I am still looking for a good 24mm (I don't like my nFD and FD) and I would consider a tilt-shift lens as an option.>>
Thanks and yes you can manually set the aperture from f3.5 to f22 on the A7R.

The only lens that I would be very interested in in the category you described is the Leica-M 75mm Lux. Frankly, at the current price of somewhere between $3K+ to > $4K, I am not sure I want that lens badly enough. Maybe I should just go for the Leica-R 80mm Lux for 40% less.

The R80 is my favorite lens, optically and mechanically and as a physical object. Thinking I'd downsize to M, I bought a late M 75, but I didn't get along with it at all. It's lighter (560 grams vs 700 for the late version), but I just found it too thin and fiddly, the rings too cramped.
I like girth.
If I were to get the M 75 again, I'd get the first version without the built-in hood. I think ergonomically it's the best.
That said, I do find the 80 hard to use and often either too long or not long enough. I shoot 35mm almost 90% of the time.
Thanks for your info. Currently, I do have two Leica-M lenses (90 cron Apo and Zeiss 85 Sonnar) and two DSLR lenses (one Canon and one Nikon) in that approximate focal length. I definitely do not need another lens... it is more a matter of wanting . Probably, it is better for me to just kill that idea. Thanks again!
