Should get one for review next month.
I don't feel so bad I sold my CV 50/3.5 Heliar now because the new 50/1.5 II is 6.3mm shorter and 11g lighter while being 2 stops faster! If it renders like the CV 75/1.5 Nokton, it could be a very successful lens.
Gotta say I’m experiencing mild temptation to get an A7c, have it Kolari ultra thin modified, and a small kit of smaller M lenses...including one of these.
This has been my hope since before the camera was announced lol, but I was deterred by the EVF that will make MF a pain.
And there's some suggesting the DR isn't as good at base ISO (though I thought it would be the same as the a7iii), but I'll wait and see to phototophotons and DXOmark rate.
Perhaps the next iteration or sister model I'll pick up.
I’m withholding judgement about whether MF will be a pain. The resolution is adequate, and the magnification may not matter. I don’t need specs if there is diopter correction. MF may not be r4 level, but it may be fine (and as good or better as a Visioflex).
Again base ISO may still be as good as a73, but if it’s a bit worse that will matter in maybe one in two hundred images where I want to raise shadows that extra bit.
But we’ll see,,,
Yeah, I am with holding my verdict till I try one in person. I just know that EVF is even smaller than the original a7x series, so hmmm.
