Thank you very much!
I was very curious about this for a long time!

This looks quiet good. Is there an easy trick to get rid of the colour cast?
If so, I am going for it. I used it once and I like it a lot. Very little distortion as well.


I think all things considered it is pretty good too and quite useable with additional pp.

I tried the DNG flat field plugin in Lightroom to fix the colour shift but I keep getting green corners instead which is weird since it works fine with my Nex-7. Has anyone else had this problem? I think they may need to update the plugin. Cornerfix didn\'t work also. I need to investigate further perhaps.

Edit: OK, it was the new Flickr UI that screwed everything up. Now I know how to view the image at 100%, and it actually looks really good! Even better than I\'d expect from a fast 21 mm SLR lens.


Overall it appears to outperform the OM24mm f/2.8 I tested it against. It\'s good to know that some rangerfinder WA lenses may work fine on the A7R.

yes, you have to go to flickr to see full sized crops. they look bad but not really smeared at 100% till f/5.6 where they look decent to good for a $1k 21mm.


I like the fact that it does double duty on the wide open end too. The bokeh rendering is surprisingly smooth and nice to view with nice colours.

The problems with the hood relate to the usage of filters including rectangular Grad filters, square or rectangular ND filters, rotating variable ND filters, etc. Additionally, if a round 58mm filter jams or is over tightened, it could become exceedingly difficult to remove.

I don\'t find it hard to untighten, there is ample grip for twisting on or off. With a circular filter, ND and polarisers aren\'t a problem. I use a graduated filter lightroom preset for those times I need that effect. I would rather not have the built in hood as it\'s fairly angular and doesn\'t feel that nice.
