Thanks sebboh and michael. If I get one of the Sony bodies, it definitely will be the A7; 24MP is enough for me (I worked professionally with 12MP for years, after all).
The lens in the Voigtländer range that excites me the most is the 40/1.4; using the GX7 bodies (mostly for video), the body I walk out the door with 90% of the time is the one with the 20/1.7 on it. Terrific lens.
I can see the A7 with the 40/1.4 being perfect for me. Did I mention the 40 is tiny?
And if that lens doesn\'t work very well, you also have the option for a smallish 40 mm SLR lens, like the Konica 40/1.8, the Voigtländer 40/2 or the Olympus 40/2. I almost forgot that I have the Konica, which is sharp and contrasty on film, so I\'ll have to get an adapter for that one. Bokeh is nervous at times, but distortion is low.
This is of course OT, but I just want to remind you all about the alternatives. I\'m also gonna try the OM 28/3.5 and 35/2.8, that are very small.
I have the Konica Hexanon AR 40/1.8. It\'s fantastic on the NEX-6&7, so should be very good on the a7r. And...the 40/1.8+adapter is almost exactly the same size as the Summilux 35 + adapter. And, it\'s much lighter and $5,125 cheaper too
