RE 40/2: I\'m afraid these are after sundown, so not as sharp as with real light, but I think you get an idea of edge performance relative to center:
The two first ones look absolutely terrible, but they are obviously misfocused since the foreground is much sharper than the rest. The rest look good though.
I have the Loxia 35 which is good, but kind of hard to use and a bit unpredictable in its rendering. So I\'m wondering if I should send the camera to Kolari and get something else.
Get the mod only when you have more M-mount than just a couple of lenses, or you have a really expensive M-mount . If this Rokkor is $400 and you pay $500 or more for the mod, essentially it\'s an overpriced lens. Do you have any other focal length in mind?
Unless Martin has or is going to update, I think he has an A7. So, the cost for the Kolari Mod for an A7 or an A7r is $400. The cost of a Kolari Mod for the an A7II or an A7rII is $500, The 40mm M-Rokkor is so tiny and light it just makes for a tiny and light package that performs quite well particularly after the sensor modification.
In my case, my Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor cost me about $500 but it was a M or possibly a M- sample. Also, in my case, having the WATE, I am still really considering the modification to my A7r and to get an A7rII in the future when the price has dropped. Finally though it would probably not make much of a difference with my M 90mm f2.5 Summarit, others have reported improvements with other film based SLR lenses so it may also improve the performance of my R 28mm f2.8 Elmarit V2 and possibly some of other R lenses.
