could you elaborate on the focus issues? I\'d better check mine, though I rarely use AF, I do want my LAEA4 to hit with 70400G if possible.

If the sem 21 works much better, I can see its price jump.
I look forward to your results. Do you have a CV15?
Unfortunately, though a fan of the lens on the nex-5, I never did get one.
The M9 does not seem to love it, at least that\'s what I hear. But the new version may be a new story
The relevant lenses I own:
ZM18
SEM21
28cron
ZM35/2
If the SEM 21 really gets good, then I would expect the other three in this list would also.
Lenses I don\'t expect to fully recover, but will try:
CV 21/4
CV 35/2.5
It\'s going to be very interesting to see the CV 35/1.4, which has a funny romance with the thick CG, but still is not as we would hope, and the usable 40cron could get alot better too. I also have them.
Another one will be the Canon LTM 50/1.4, which the M9 really loves, but the A7 series much less so.
I will be really interesting to see how your lenses perform. I expect colour shift to remain on the ZM 18, but the 21 SEM and the 28 cron to do well. I expect the ZM 35 to be close to the Loxia 35 on an unmodified camera. I am looking forward to seeing your results.
Hi Steve,
I am not nearly as sure as you are about the M 28mm Summicron or for that matter, the M 28mm Elmarit. lens either. As I recall they were dismal for their performance on the stock A7/A7r cameras. We will have to wait for Charlie and others to check in on this with their modified A7/A7r cameras.

Hi Rich/Steve/Charlie
Lloyd has tested the 28 Elmarit Asph with the A7rM versus the stock version. The test results for the 28 Elmarit are excellent, in that by f/8 the elmarit delivers a high grade image and further improves by f/11. From the test results there is no way I would use the Elmarit on the A7r stock. On reviewing the results, IMO I would in many instances use f/2.8 and 4 for street photography with no issues. The 28 Elmarit is a wonderful light lens and I really think if you have the lens, it will be very usable with the A7r M.
I would not purchase the lens myself again, and I feel the 28 Cron Asph will perform even better with longer exit pupil distance. Maybe 28 Elmari V3
Charlie,28 Elmarit v3 would be amazing, as it is a Mandler designed lens. I suspect this lens would really shine
