The A7/A7r is _not_ a RF wide angle friendly platform. Stating that it is would be a lie. It is really a \"hit and miss\" with the emphasis being on \"miss\". A RF wide angle platform will enable easy and effortless adaptation of RF glass with a minimum of hassle and image degradation and a minimum of post pro remedies to handle inadequacies in the camera sensor/topping/what have you. As far as Sony goes I would not want to support a half baked product by investing in something that does not meet my needs/criteria just because it is a) available and b) almost there and/or c) there is nothing else in that category at the moment.
The camera as such I really applaud as a step in the right direction for full frame cameras and if the right wide angle lenses would surface I would be very interested. I don\'t need many lenses - just bring me the three I want.
As it stands my conclusion is that it is an incomplete/unsatisfactory RF lens platform. I don\'t hold anything against anyone who think it is good enough - but please don\'t tell me what I should think about it. We simply disagree. And I am fine with that.

That sums it up pretty well for me, regarding RF wides on A7/A7R. I\'ll be sticking to SLR glass for my wides (TS-E, Zeiss, Oly) on 24x36 whether it is the A7/A7R or a DSLR ... at least until we see what the native glass for the platform can bring to us. The wider and steeper you go, the tougher it gets ... choose your poison(s).
