Hi guys, like you I\'m also interested in the Sony a7 and RF lenses combo. Seems like some Voigtländer and Leica APO lenses could really be life-long investments, with modern Zeiss lenses filling the gaps and the eventual need for AF.
However, at the moment I\'m waiting because I don\'t think this generation of cameras are really good for that. The a7r seems to be better in terms of microlenses design, but consider that the very high resolution is going to exharcebate every such imperfection. Not to mention that even with focus peaking, obtaining critical focus wide-open is not going to be easy.
I think I\'ll wait til Sony (or whoever) releases a camera like the a7r but downscaled to 18-22 megapixels. That\'s going to give plenty of resolution without stressing other factors beyond their limits. Sony itself is rumoured to have 2 new a7 next year, and I don\'t think it\'s going to take too long before other players join in.
Well, you can always wait, and you\'ll likely be rewarded for it. I agree that 36MP may seem over the top unless you print really large, but having this resolution for cropping and/or down-sampling is definitely a plus in my book. Personally, I would not hedge my bets on any camera manufacturer other than Leica releasing a future camera model that is better optimized for RF lenses than what is currently available on the market. I have a feeling my (future) A7R will remain in my stable for a long time...
