Decided to try out the 35 Lux FLE. If I like it, the CV35/1.2 will go and possibly the Summicron 28. If I don't, a ZM35/1.4 will probably take its place.

It was a bit of a (expensive) revelation that rangefinder glass could be used on my new A7. I know - SLR luddite that I am. So: Heliar 15mm vII, Ultron 35/1.7, Planar 2.0/50 ZM, Tele-Elmar 90.
I just cut my backpack/walk around kit weight by several pounds.

Old Minolta glass is hard to beat when it comes to looks, if you ask me. I don't even have an adapter for it, but couldn't pass up on the low price. Auto Tele Rokkor-QE 100/3.5 by scepticswe, on Flickr
Shot with a micro-Nikkor 55/2.8 @f/11 (I love "rediscovering" my old lenses on my A7R, the micro-Nikkor is really a stunning performer)

I have been looking for small Tele lens / portrait lens since the longest i have os my Rokkor 58 1.2
I found a voigtlander APO-Lanthar 180mm in mint condition and ordered it.
The same day i browsed Amazon.co.jp and found a Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 125mm for almost half the current Ebay prices... I ordered it without being 100% sure about the shape and it recently arrived in mint condition...
I've also always wanted to try a leica lens and i found a 90mm E55 for an ok price on Ebay and ordered it.
So what's started as a plan to by a tele/portrait combo lens i now have three lenses..
I will probably need to sell one or two of them but i'm really not sure which one, need to do more testing..
BTW FYI i ordered Rayqual adapters for the Two Voigtlanders and i have to say i'm impressed with the quality. Reasonable prices compared to other "premium" brands of adapters.
Anyway, what's this thread without pics so here is one with the 3 lenses

Yes Using tenso.com Have used them for a year buying various items from Japan.. So far no complaints except it could always be cheaper. Usually takes 4 days to sweden via Ems.

Beautiful lens .. make sure that 125 don't leave Sweden if you are selling
Will make sure of that.
I guess it's not often that lens can be tested before buying here in Sweden.. (as long as you are in Stockholm).. If i sell it...
