The A7 appears to have less color shift and less light fall-off in the corners (estimated to be about 3 stops with the CV15).
In spite of the marketing, the offset-microlens design of the A7r appears not to be as effective as simply having larger pixel well sites, that will be less affected by the fixed-sized front-side support circuitry.
I wonder if short-flange WA lens users should focus attention on the A7 - and then look at options to remove the AA filter to reduce smearing and improve corner sharpness? A bit like how tinkerers remove the IR filter to create IR or full-spectrum cameras.
