Dale - Congratulations! The chair shot is interesting to say the least
You guys are killing me with your rapid acquisition of these FF Nex cameras.It will take me a bit longer to save up for one, but i will eventually get one

Thanks Jim!, I turn 68 next month. Perhaps I have reverted to the foolishness of my youth.
That looks pretty sweet Martin. I can hardly wait to try my C/Y 28/2.8 (not going to be nearly as sharp wide open as your Oly!) and my Nikkor 28/2.8 Ai-S, not to mention the C/Y Planar 50/1.4, Nikkor 50/1.4 Ai-S, Yashica 135, Nikkor 135/2 Ai-S, Nikkor 20/3.5 I bought for my kid, etc. etc, almost forgot about the FE35/2.8 and eventually the FE55/1.8.
Thank you Sebboh and Phil
Martin, very nice!!
Dale, nice rendering and shots!
Shots last evening with A7r and 50 Lux and FE 35. The 50 Lux appears to be fine. There is some vignetting at f/1.4. I am not noticing any color cast yet.

Thanks Michael (and everybody!), don't get fooled by my severe PP. Your CY is probably sharper than the Oly.
I tried the OM 35/2.8 today, and while not getting one single image that I like to show, it seems to give very nice colors. But it needs stopping down a lot for sharpness towards the corners. The middle is dead sharp at f/2.8 though.

My first with A7r and C/Y 135/2.8 as jpg from the camera 'cos I haven't figured out how to get Lightroom 4.4 to read the RAW files.
Sorry, you can't. Only Lightroom 5 will process A7/r raw files. Currently support for the ARW files is only found in Lightroom 5.3 Release Candidate. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom5-3/
I had an hour out at the ocean yesterday, so I tried to take a few field test shots with the a7 and a bag of lenses (nothing very creative...). Here's a link to a few -- everything worked very well, but I'm still getting oriented to the controls. I have some programming to do there...
Here are some more experiments with the A7r. These are all RAW files processed with Lightroom 5.3 RC.
A typical winter morning in the Pacific northwest. Not cold, not raining, just grey. This image was shot with Contax g90 at F/5.6 1/160 ISO 500 and greater than a 50% crop. Some NR required in LR.
Same Contax g90 at F/5.6 1/160 but ISO bumped up to an unbelievable 6400. A bit more NR required.
Picture out the window. Voigtlander Nocton 50/1.1 wide open on Hawks adapter. ISO 125 1/160 I think this is going to be an amazing combination.
Your CY is probably sharper than the Oly.
