Here\'s another test -- the a7 with the Leica 24 Elmar-M ASPH f/3.8. As you may know, this is a fantastic sharp and contrasty lens, but has smearing issues on the a7 and a7r. I love its resolution, contrast and micro-contrast, so I wanted to see if it usable on the a7. Depending on subject matter, f/5.6 may work. f/8 is pretty decent at the edges and ~OK in the corners; f/11 doesn\'t appear to lose much to diffraction (there are a couple of places I can see minor degradation), and the corners are much better. Overall, this looks better than my other WA SLR lenses for 24mm, so I think it will do for now... Click on the Flickr link to get to the 6000x4000 version.
