from the samples I\'ve seen with troublesome lenses
the a7 appears to have less physical vignetting than the ef, f, and a mount.
That is my conclusion also. Many of my old Nikkors vignetted quite a bit on the D700. Not so on the a7, for some reason, where they show very even illumination across the frame in comparison.
The only downside of the narrow mount is that a few lenses get a sharp vignetting in the extreme corners unless stopping down. It\'s an area so small that less than 10% cropping gets rid of it.
I\'ve had the a7 for 6 days now, and I\'m very, very happy with it. It\'s mostly exactly what I\'ve wanted for years. Of course I had hopes for RF lenses, but I really don\'t care anymore. Whatever I put on it, the system will be much smaller and lighter than a current FF SLR. And then there is the great EVF that lets me shoot at night with every single image in focus. And the tilting screen that helps me get sharp images at 1/15 with 50 mm focal length. And the gorgeous files with great sharpness, colors and low noise. And it\'s even cheap too!
What more to ask for, if you\'re into manual focus lenses? Not much.
