Sounds about right. That\'s the primary strength of the biogon design: super low distortion--if any at all!
\'If any at all\' is most likely!
I can\'t state and publicly post based on my quick bathroom \'test\' shots, but many sites provide tests that prove ZM 2/35 geometric superiority.
Many 35mm lenses are of \'story tellers\' or \'journalist\' type that are hardly champions in landscaping category, but I feel ZM 2/35 can nail (currently only on M-system) infinity and close/mid distance quite well. If A7/R thin sensor stack can greatly ameliorate extreme corners and edge frame softness, this combo may turn out to be a great high IQ walk around and light landscaping solution.

Jack, yes it will interesting to see how the thin filter, improves certain lenses like the ZM 35/2. Intuitively I think we will see a lot of improvements, and maybe a \"clearness\" or transparent look to the images like we see with the M9 with the thinner filter. There may well be some downsides too
Charles, my A7R is being boxed for shipping to Kolari. I hope some RF lenses may benefit from the conversion but if only Lux-m 50 asph shows increased performance, it will be a worthwhile upgrade, IMO. I fully agree with your comments regarding increased value of converted A7R, even if A9 has different (thinner) sensor stack. My gut feeling is that filter stack converted A7/R may be the RF hi-res alt-dream camera for the next few years.
I am sure you will provide your updates & comments first
