Dear M-Mount RF Lens User,
You were likely recently excited to hear the announcement of a Full Frame sensored mirrorless camera being released from Sony. You were likely so excited that you not only jumped for joy you likely took out your credit card and pre ordered this bad boy. Can't blame you, I did too.. hell I even sold all my APS-C camera gear to cover the cost of the body, it's the jump I've been waiting to make, and this seemed like the best time to do it.
This was likely before all the reports starting coming back that a lot of wide angled range finder lenses are just not working very well on these cameras, particularly the 36 mp A7r that lacks the AA filter. This has caused massive moaning and groaning all over the internet (hey I'm upset too, I'd love to use some of these lenses), and frankly I'm sick of it. Ya ya ya... I know don't read it...pass by it and ignore it, but it baffles me that you think Sony would focus on making your old glass work (that they don't actually sell themselves) instead of focusing on how well their expensive Zeiss lenses work.
Adapting lenses past the A-Mount for an E-Mount camera is just an added bonus of awesomeness, and you should be happy such a versatile camera even exists. My suggestion to you is if you want a camera that works well with these lenses that aren't adapting well is 1. Beg Leica to stop charging $9,000 for digital cameras and design one that works perfect with them or 2. Shoot a film camera the lens was made for.
The conclusion is: This camera wasn't made for your specific manual lens needs, and may not be the camera for you.
Sincerely,
Sick of hearing you bitch about it.
