Re: A thinner sensor stack may be possible after all!

I read this hopeful news this morning and was immediately curious about the Contax G 21 Distagon, a lens I have been resisting buying for sometime, strictly because of the performance on unmmoded sensors.
I am waiting to see if a) the smearing improves significantly without the modification of the A7rII b) if Kolari can mod a sensor with IBIS and c) if the the sensor does show dramatic improvement with smearing/color, if there will be a synergistic effect with the sensor is moded from the A7IIr.
Thoughts anyone?
Nehmiah,
a) I\'ll let you know when I get mine from Amazon
b) Ilija can mod the A7II now, so I think it would be the same for the A7rII
c) Modded 1st gen still can\'t cope with the likes of G 21 and 28 at WO to f/5.6. So if this cam can do what the modded 1st gen. do, I\'m already happy enough. Though early Hologon samples indicates it might be even better. If it is so, then it means Sony did change the stack thickness. At that point, Kolari mod might not make sense anymore since the gain would not be dramatic enough to pay. Until I see a direct comparison between the modded cam vs. the M9/M240, I would say any improvement on the native platform would not be that much.
