Wah sei bro... I dun dare to meet U... :bsmilie:

Can can.... But you come at your own risk. Many have come and you know how the ending went.
 

Most probably one of the Saturday afternoons after all the family errands are completed.
 

Can I invite bro Errz and bro Albertri?
Sure, that is about the max. All have been warned regarding the consequences. :).

for wide angel lenses I would advice to get non range finder lenses if you're ok with MF. RF lenses tends to still have magenta cast specially on A7r. I am currently using Leica 21mm f4 a.k.a Super Angulon, waiting for my 17mm Vivitar. For Native FE mount the widest so far is the A7 Kit lens

Thanks bro albetri for the advice. Today just become the proud owner A7R, but got no lens yet... :)
Looks Leica super expensive.. Not much budget left... The vivitar 17mm not so good is it?
 

Haha... I mean other than those expensive ones...

Bro, take it from a poor hobbyist who learned the hard way: buy the best you think you'll ever need first time around. Otherwise you'll keep buying and buying stuff that won't make you happy.

With that in mind, a few I've owned previously and don't recommend:
Nikon 20mm f/2.8 AF-D
NIkon 20mm f/3.5 or 4.0 Ai or Ai-S
Sony 20mm f/2.8
Nikon 18mm f/3.5 Ai-S
Nikon 24mm f/2.8 AF-D
Sigma 24mm f/1.8
Voigtlander 20mm f/3.5 SLII

One possibility if 24mm is wide enough for you would be a Nikon 24mm f/2 Ai-S… but test it at all apertures to make sure it draws the way you like.

Other than the ones I mentioned in my earlier post, the best thing I can think of is the 15mm in your signature line.

yeah my vivitar seems a lemon it's soft and it vignette very heavy .... strange as this lens was design for OM which is 35mm also... the vignette I am suspecting could be the adaptor but the IQ not even close with my Leica 21mm..

Welcome to the club bro! I am a A7r user also loving it
