If it has a 50mm f1.8 (not the $800 Zeiss), sharp 35mm f2, 24mm f2.8 at reasonable prices, a lot more people will dive into the A7 series. The Sony 50mmf 1.8 E-Mount for APS-C is an excellent lens and they should make a full frame version. Having very good, but very pricy lenses will just limit the user base.Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-53786935931195889192015-12-04T05:34:55.346-05:002015-12-04T05:34:55.346-05:00The thing about the A7 that gets me is the lack of...The thing about the A7 that gets me is the lack of well priced native lenses. At least with m43 I'm comfortable with the primes I have as well as the legacy stuff. 300mm works well on m43 for instance. While I am enamoured of using my nFD 50f1.4 on the full frame I am not sure I want to eschew AF. Your reports of the standard zoom are not enticing either.obakesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743339737847465926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-85407132507136734662015-12-04T05:31:14.683-05:002015-12-04T05:31:14.683-05:00Comment deleted as I see it was the R not an M len...Comment deleted as I see it was the R not an M lens ;-) oopsobakesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743339737847465926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-47132232981933547832015-12-04T05:29:32.029-05:002015-12-04T05:29:32.029-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.obakesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743339737847465926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-81629137941504009622015-12-03T22:56:34.443-05:002015-12-03T22:56:34.443-05:00I notice that some cameras work better with older ...I notice that some cameras work better with older lenses, and the Sony cameras seem to work best with even very old stuff. The Leica-R Elmarit 28mm f2.8 is terrible on the Canon, but works really well with the A7.<br /><br />You are a more logical and clear headed person than I, otherwise I wouldn't be ended up with so much junk :) But, you know you want a full frame digital, even though you may not need one :)Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-78017567087910450992015-12-03T21:17:43.273-05:002015-12-03T21:17:43.273-05:00Perhaps another reason its in poor demand is that ...Perhaps another reason its in poor demand is that on m43 it is a bit of a KEH lens, with the OM 28f2.8 giving a better showing. Using it on full frame will allow it a better showing. I bought an nFD28 as my 2nd FD after my nFD50 and found that neither were as sharp as the OM versions on m43.<br /><br />I keep looking at the Sony, but have just put $99 onto the Panasonic 25f1.7 (which I eagerly await its arrival) if that lens is as good as I anticipate then my shallow normal search will be over for m43!<br /><br />From there it will he hard to tempt me into full frame digital.<br /><br />:-) obakesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743339737847465926noreply@blogger.com
