I understand that people will find it hard to believe, so all I can say is: try the A7s.


I don\'t find it hard to believe, I just think your assumption about a change in the sensor stack is off. Remember, the NEX 5n/r/t and 6 performed better with a much wider variety of lenses than the 7, and the only difference was the resolution.


---------------------------------------------

A change in resolution doesn\'t eliminate sensor reflections. Since both the A7 and A7s have an AA filter there must have changed something else about the stack.

Have used both the A7s and A7r, I would say my ZM 15 didn\'t see any improvement in term of smearing due to field curvature. The heavy vignette and color cast, on the hand, are completely gone. I think only the A7r and A7s have gapless microlens, so their stack might be more similar (than the A7).


The ZM15 is ofcourse an extreme example. That\'s why I added that I haven\'t tried rangefinder lenses. Btw, doesn\'t the smearing with that lens come from light that hits the sensor at an angle that\'s too steep? If It\'s field curvature... the corners should get completely sharp if your focus on them.
