p.26 #1Zeiss ZM 35 1.4
I have been following some of this thread with interest as I have just bought an A7r. I have a Fotodiox adapter onto which I have hung my ZE35 f1.4. It is no longer a light camera! So I was just about to order a Loxia 35mm when I saw this thread and now would like to ask which lens to go for Loxia, ZM or the forthcoming Zony 35mmf1.4? I love the ZE rendering and the f1.4 if that helps the advice.

id like the ZM myself but from what I've seen, to get the most of it you'd have to do the kolari sensor mod. Loxia looks to be nice but probably slightly different rendering than the 1.4 counterparts.
FE 1.4 samples I've seen looks great. Just rather big but you do get AF with it. So certainly compromise there.

Few wide open images to keep this thread rolling...
I was shooting side by side with film (Fuji Provia 400X) hence the PP emulation to compare at later date

Your first shot is very nice philber..
Too bad i already snap a 35 biogon, looks like the ZM distagon is quite stellar once youve past its unique boke

I have to say, the more I see from this lens, the more I really like the rendering and particularly the bokeh. If I only had an extra $2K lying around...

2k lying around + adapter + mod. This lens makes me want a Leica.
