Re: A thinner sensor stack may be possible after all!
Shots from yesterday afternoon.
A7rM and M28 Elmarit v3
Nico, excellent test shot comparisons with Zeiss 21/2.8 and CV 21/2.8. The Zeiss 21 does not seem to have the sharpness compared to the CV 21, but I am sure the finer rendering would be there.
Great observations regarding the adapter thicknesses!! I have measured accurately the thicknesses of the different adapters, and found that the Novoflex being the best made IMO tends to be thinnest adapters. The stock Metabones that Sony provides is about 1mm thicker, and on a number of lenses I cannot reach infinity.
Where possible I use the VM-E adpater, as I love the close focus feature. The adapter focus ring tends to be stiff, which is great as I now focus wide open at infinity with M lens set at infinity stop, and adjust the VM-E adapter to be focused at infinity. I rarely have an issue with the VM-E moving after, but ideally it would be good to have a focus lock so there would be no possibility of movement.
I agree Nico, the thin filter modification is great with the A7r
