Aside from the rev III Voigtlander 15mm Heliar which is shipping next week I have a Hassy 100/3.5 Planar and adapters on the way (lens will arrive before the adapters I think ...)
Canon FD 28/2.0 - very sharp,very good lens,perfectly usable wo on the A7
Canon FD 35-70/4 - accpetably sharp across the A7's frame wo at any fl - good alternative for MD 35-70/3.5,though with less interesting colour renditon
Yashica 35-70/3.5-4.5 AF - sharp enough wo at any fl,much better than it's ML brother,nice Minolta colours.
And second copies of well known classics - Minolta MC Tele Rokkor 200/4,Yashica ML 35/2.8 and 28/2.8

I hate the adapter wait, but sweet! I hope the Hassy works out for you. I love mine. My only complaint is that the shutter switch can be a little touchy. Sometimes the swing of the 645D mirror can trigger it, and with MLU, I can't tell if it's closed until after I've taken the shot. I have to listen very carefully to avoid dark frames.

I am welcoming the APO-Telyt-R 280/2.8 back into the line up. I had to push back the planned purchase of a Cambo Actus to justify it in the budget, but it was too good a price to pass up and it's the lens that's given me the worst case of seller's remorse.

Yea, I'm looking forward to it. I'll be using mine on an A7r, with either the Mirex t/s adapter (for Mamiya 645), or with the (also new) Fotodiox Rhinocam for stitching. I bought the Rhinocam with a Pentax 645 lens mount as I have several that I can use, including the 35mm FA, so I'm waiting for both Hassy/P645 and M645 adapters before I can use it with either. I'll pick up the lens tomorrow though.

I'll be interested to hear what you think about the Rhinocam. It looks like a good pano solution. Are there markings for the FF sensor or is it still oriented for APS-C?

Sweet, the 40 is a great lens, I repurchased it for use on a Sony with a tilt shift adapter a while ago (ETR to Nikon adapter and Kipon t/s adapter for Nikon to Sony).

I need another system like I need a hole in my head. Oh well...
I was looking at a 21mm Elmarit or Biogon for my Leica but balking at the price.
Ran into a problem this weekend not having a modern camera (Leica M2+M3) with flash sync capability for a portrait. My wife has gotten me a few portrait sessions via her clients.
Figured the Bronica would touch a lot of bases a lot cheaper. Long exposure landscape and portraits. What is it.... 1/500 flash sync?? Sweet!
I am out just under $400, and probably overpaid at that
So cheap that I will add some portrait lens and another camera along the way.

The biggest problems I had with my ETR were that the ETR has no mirror lockup, so vibration on a tripod is a big deal, especially if you go for longer lenses. I was doing landscape and ended up carrying a bean bag. Long exposures were OK though. I might have upgraded to the ETRi which has MLU but I switched up to large format. 2nd was that I had issues with almost all of the used film holders and had to replace them (film 1/2 advancing for example).

My neighbor just gave me a Vivitar 70-210 macro 4.5 in Minolta MD mount in excellent shape. Very excited about trying it out on my Sony A7. Just ordered MD/MC adapter last night. I also ordered a MD 50/1.7 this morning on KEH.

my Sony 28-135mm FE PZ F4 G OSS arrive today. It is mainly for the FS7 but i can put a good use toward the A7 ii. The power zoom is smooth. Solid build but WTF with the thin plastic cap? the plastic cap on your drink cup is even thicker.
