Re: Official: Sony A7 and A7R Fullframe Mirrorless
It always made sense as a point of differentiation, the sensor mods of the a7r. Good, and we may know as soon as 1-2 days how the legacy M lenses fare with it. There may still be jpeg processing in-camera as well. More great iamges are surfacing across the web.
Another thought is lens selection for the release: a fine 35mm and a brilliant 55mm.
I mention this because for all the years of the ZA (A mount) DSLRs Sony never introduced these two most important focal lengths in high end prime lenses, until only recently they released a heavy and expensive 50mm f1.4, much too late. The original ZA lenses were two heavy zooms and fast 85mm and 135mm primes. A 24mm came much later by which time users doubted the company\'s intentions and still do, re A mount.
This seems to signal a more serious and deeper analysis of the market and its preferences. They are making a lot of good decisions of late: RX and a7 in particular.
