Guys & gals, sorry for the \"dumb\" questions, but I\'ll ask anyhow.
What does CZ mount refer to?
Are there any native (sony made) mount adapters for other mounts or is that only third party makers? I would be interested in a Nikon mount.
Does the Sony FE 55 look better than the 35 2.8? My favorite FL is 35 but 55 also does the job.
Are there any WA lenses from third party that could be promising on the New sony? i am thinking Of Zeiss, maybe Contax? I don\'t have the funds for anything Leica. Iq and well corrected, good corners would be my interest. Anything around 24 to 28. Maybe the nikon 28g. i kniw this would be only speculation. I just don\'t have any experience in Alts.
Edit: would mount adapters impact AF capability? For Nikon.
Thanks
I have heard that Sony is going to make a converter for Nikon and Canon, but I haven\'t seen that confirmed. Maybe someone else knows whether Sony has confirmed that. The rumours that I heard is that it would allow AF, but how well it would work is still a mystery. It might work better on the A7 than the A7r because the A7 has phase detect AF like Nikon uses for its AF and the A7r relies on only contrast dectect AF. There will be good lenses to adapt. An very good cheap option would be the Olympus OM 24mm f/2.8. A multi-coated one is quite sharp and very small. There is also the ZF2 25mm f/2, which is a nice lens but it is reported that it never completely sharpens up in the corners. At 28mm I really liked my Contax/Yashica mount Zeiss 28mm f/2.8. This lens is very contrasty with a lot of micro contrast and it isn\'t that expensive. There is also the Zeiss 28mm f/2, which is a larger lens and although it has some field curvature is still a very nice lens. It is available as a ZF2, so you could use it on your Nikon as well.
Thank you for the insightful answer.
The only way for this to work for me monetarily would need for me to sell the D800, the 16-35g and the 24-120g. Long term, I\'m thinking of something like the A7r, the native 55 and native 35, and a 24 with good iq. I would keep the 85g I already have.
My wife would keep her d600 with a couple of her lenses. I prefer primes, the 85 I\'d keep as i already have it.
Thanks
