35mm is a great focal length, no doubt and the RX1 has a phantastic lens, is very small and a super handy camera.
BUT even used it still runs at about 1500€. I will think about it again when it is around 1000€, the beautiful thing about my lenses is that they don't loose value, they get more expensive. This makes justifying emptying my bank account for lenses much easier, than for a camera which will loose 500€ in a year.
yeah, there's probably no good financial reason to get one, though i do think the depreciation is leveling off. my problem is that despite having 2 other unique and somewhat rarified 35mm lenses to play with, its clear to me when ever i shoot them that the rx1 is better at everything except portraits in certain circumstances and i can't help seeing it when i look at photos from them.
anyway, another c/y 35/1.4 shot:

I completed a very hard mountaineering objective a few weekends ago. It was tough due to a long, complicated approach and because of this, I brought my A7S with a few OM lenses rather than the much larger FE lenses. In general this worked very well, all shots are at f/8 or f/11 except the Milky Way which was f/4.
OM 24mm f/2.8
Olympus OM 18mm f/3.5

Hello everyone! I am new here. I sold my Nikon D610 and got a Sony A7s straight after.
I am still in the process of learning how to use it (it's a real big change for me) but I am starting to enjoy the camera more and more.
I am also changing completely my lens lineup and selling all my fast glass from Nikon (35/1.4 AIS, 85/1.4 AIS and 180/2.8 ED AIS - already sold a bunch of other fast lenses) and moving towards M-mount lenses, although I will still buy lenses in other mounts when they are cheap. Talking of cheap, I received today the Yashica DSB 135/2.8 that I bought on eBay UK for under $50 (already including shipping to Sweden) and I just came back from a walk with the dog and the A7s with this Yashica on it.
Shot it only wide open @ f/2.8 and it didn't really impress. A normal performing lens I guess. What do you guys think?

I ended up finding a Leica Tele-Elmar 4/135 a couple of days after and bought it. The lens arrived today but I am still waiting for the m-mount adaptor to arrive on the mail. It is a stop slower but I am sure it will perform a lot better so this Yashica will soon be on its way again since my hopes are to only have lenses in M-mount.

Ramos, the Yashica lens seems to be plenty sharp based on the images you posted. However, I don't like the bokeh as displayed on No. 3 that much; it is a bit busy for my taste.
The advantage of using Leica M-mount lenses is the adapter is fairly thin; thinner than the adapter for DSLR lenses. But in practical terms, it doesn't mean much, at least to me. Down to about 35mm Leica M-lenses are generally fine on the Sony A7/r/s but wider than that it becomes tricky. Personally, I like DSLR lenses over the Leica M lenses in the 135mm focal length. The exception is the Leica 135mm f/3.8 Apo-Telyt but the price of the lens is steep and it is not that fast. If you like that 135mm focal length, I would look into lenses from Olympus OM, Contax, Canon FD, among others. Enjoy your A7s further!

Thanks Joshua. I do not enjoy the bokeh either and that would be the main reason to let it go. The photos are fine, just nothing spectacular. Nevertheless, they are good for what I paid for the lens and it is always fun to shoot some new lenses from time to time.
I really don't like to see the long adaptors on the A7s, especially on shorter focal lengths. It just looks silly. I have read plenty of good about the Tele-Elmar 135/4 that I just bought though and I think I got it for a fair price so I won't loose any more when I decide to resell it.
I took some other photos (portraits) with the A7s and the Nikkor 85/1.4 AIS which are really nice but I will be selling that lens cause it is simply to heavy and big for what I want now.
Regarding the lenses under 35mm not working so good, I think there are still some options out there and from the 3 models, I guess the S is the one that shows less problems.

Beautiful series Vern!
My favorite light today; sun and dark clouds together. I feel so blessed to have nice views less than 15 minutes walk from home.
A7 with C/Y 28mm/2.8 (# 3, 4 and 6) and C/Y 85mm/2.8 (# 1, 2 and 5). Btw. the 85mm is exceeding my expectations by far!

Do you get AF with whatever adapter you're using?

Yes, but it's not very useful. It's extremely slow and not terribly accurate.

Loving the A7S.
It just went with me to Morocco and without the silent shutter I'm sure I would've been beat up.
