Anyone know how this lens behaves on a Sony A7RII? Especially the corners at larger apertures f2-4.0? Anyone tried a PCX/plano-convex lens on this lens?
I'm looking for a small/light MF 28mm for my Sony A7RII, but afraid of corner issues. Fred Miranda reported some issues in his A7R4 test, which I assume translates to the A7RII. On the Phillip Reeve site they mention a great improvement using a PCX on the 35 f1.7, but that is a different design.
Btw, I have the 7artisans 28mm f1.4 and really like the rendering of lens, but it's a bit of a beast. I also have a Contax G 28mm f2.8 which I also like, but not a fan of the focusing adapter. Also, the CY 28mm G2.8 Distagon, which is amazing at all apertures, but again is too large and only f2.8.
I'm looking for 28mm to complement the VM 50mm f1.5 II, which I already have and performs ok in the corners at F5.6+, but while I don't really need good corners at 50mm I do for 28mm....Show more →
Shoot several images, with a really good 50mm lens, and stitch a panorama? That is what some folks are doing, with 50mm APO lenses. I have never stitched a panorama, but remember seeing this being discussed, in a Red Dot Forum you-tube video, and in forum discussions. If your present 50/1.5 VM does not have good enough corners, consider the 50mm APO VM.
I also recall much praise, in the FM forum, regarding the Leica Elmarit-R 28mm, version II, with the E55 filter threads. This lens was high on my wish list, at one time, though I have long forgotten any details about corner performance, and have no idea if anyone has used it on any specific Sony bodies. (I decided that I could not justify buying yet another high-end 28mm lens, when I already had the truly excellent Nikkor AF-S 28/1.4E, and a D850 camera. Adding the Leica M system did not mean that I planned to to phase-out Nikon F-mount.) I do not know how this Elmarit-R compares, in size and weight, to your 7artisans 28mm lens.
These are just a couple of things I recall, from my panic-demic/stay-at-home internet excessive-binge time.
If your Sony has enough MP to allow cropping-in, consider shooting with the Nokton 21mm f/1.4 VM, and cropping to ~28mm. Just a thought. There is a discussion of this lens, in this section of the forum. I bought one, and the results are quite impressive, though I am using it on a Leica M10, not a Sony.
I am not any kind of expert; just throwing these ideas out there.

Given the insane performance of the CV 21 f/1.4, I would have have high hopes for a 28mm version.
