Playing with fire, huh
? That's a Renault Clio, hm. Never mind, you are in the UK, I thought you were in New Hampshire. Great shot!

Charles and Bob-th Loxia 35 shots really are incredible!! They look just like the 35 Biogon, but with excellent corners! Maybe I jumped the gun in the Biogon! The Biogon is one of the best 35's I've used, I just wish the corners were better on the A7!! The Loxia seems to mitigate that, and it shows...Damn
Gregg
Gregg, ZM 2/35 has very low geometrical distortions.
Let's see first how A7/A7R thin sensor stack replacement works. If it's as good as it shows on Kolari Vision site then ZM 2/35 + A7R may be a great match.
Edit: image added - no corrections or profiles applied (and I hope tile setters did half decent job!)

That is a tough call You just maybe better suited to 50mm FL or longer FL's rather WA's. The reality is with one fixed FL you can probably achieve more than changing lenses too much.
Bob, wonderful shots! Love the B&W conversions.
Jack, yes it will interesting to see how the thin filter, improves certain lenses like the ZM 35/2. Intuitively I think we will see a lot of improvements, and maybe a "clearness" or transparent look to the images like we see with the M9 with the thinner filter. There may well be some downsides too.

I couldn't agree more on how freeing one lens is--this is why I think the RX1 is one of the finest digital cameras ever made. Anything 28mm and above, I am good with. that 16-28mm range though...I need better vision, I need to grow.

Seems like you can't turn your back on this thread for a minute without all sorts of amazing new images appearing. This was with an older Nikkor PC-35 I've had tucked away for some time, but tried here on my A7R - close to maximum rise.

Sounds about right. That's the primary strength of the biogon design: super low distortion--if any at all!

'If any at all' is most likely none!
I can't state and publicly post based on my quick bathroom 'test' shots, but many sites provide tests that prove ZM 2/35 geometric superiority.
Many 35mm lenses are of 'story tellers' or 'journalist' type that are hardly champions in landscaping category, but I feel ZM 2/35 can nail (currently only on M-system) infinity and close/mid distance quite well. If A7/R thin sensor stack can greatly ameliorate extreme corners and edge frame softness, this combo may turn out to be a great high IQ walk around and light landscaping solution.

Charles, my A7R is being boxed for shipping to Kolari. I hope some RF lenses may benefit from the conversion but if only Lux-m 50 asph shows increased performance, it will be a worthwhile upgrade, IMO. I fully agree with your comments regarding increased value of converted A7R, even if A9 has different (thinner) sensor stack. My gut feeling is that filter stack converted A7/R may be the RF hi-res alt-dream camera for the next few years.
I am sure you will provide your updates & comments first

Fun with water fixtures. I wanted to see how low I could go hand-held with the a7II and C/Y Sonnar 85/2.8. First is 1/10 at f/4, second is 1/13 at f/5.6.

I have to say, I do love this lens. It's a real gem in the Contax line, fringing aside. I'd still love to see a Sonnar 85/2 in a Loxia shell, but until then, this will do nicely.

Jako, great stuff! I think your A7r will be back before mine
