I hope you are getting the VM Close Focus Adapter. You can get really close with some of the lenses - just put a 12mm 5.6 Heliar on the 7 today - with the close focus. Tomorrow is evidently going to be a lousy weather day - so experimenting is in oder.

This is with the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.5 SC and the VM Close-Up adapter engaged. It is like a "dual range" 35 mm lens! The finder of the Sony 7 works well - but if you stop down a bit with a wide-angle, the focus indicator red lines are all over the place.

Tequila sniffing my shoes - faint hope that they are edible! Sony 7 and Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f1.4 MC version. The black and white function on the 7 works very well, this was in very flat grey light. The 40f1,4 is one of my favourite lenses for film (and I think now for the 7). It has a bit tighter view than the 35's - and is remarkably sharp - even at f2 as ere. If I had to survive wit one lens, it would be a hard choice between the 35 or the 40 mm focal length.

Dug out an Orion 15, 28mm f6.0 and put it one the Sony 7. Tiny little lens, quite sharp, but I think there is a bit of decentering as the left side is a bit "fuzzier" than the right side. I haven't seen that with film - but obviously digital is more sensitive to this stuff. This was at f8.

Weather was unusually nice today - +10C and sunny. I took that as a reason for using some stranger lenses on the Sony 7. This is with a Canon 25mm f3.5 - kind of defines "vignetting". Good lens otherwise - and the edges can be fixed up in LightRoom - but I kind of like the "edge" burn effect my self.
