haha.. may the a7/r will be the most "visible" camera carried around by photograhers in the next few months... like when the iphones were launched.

Tried my friend's 35 f2.8 carl zeiss on A7. Seems like some pictures has darker corners. Is it normal? Could the hood play a part?

Is Lens Comp./Shading Comp. enabled?

No too sure. Should it be off or on? Sorry a bit blur

saw one guy purchase A7(R) at Cathay.

I've just tested. If the option (Lens Comp. > Shading Comp.) is not set to Auto, there will be slight dark corners. Just set all the options in the Lens. Comp. screen (at Page 5 of the "Gear" Menu in Settings) to Auto

ya.... non RF/legacy lense will definitely work better with the a7/a7R. just that the non legacy lenses will be bigger in size. of course the FD lenses will still be smaller than the EF lenses, but your adaptor to nex will make it a very long lens

There are enough SLR legacy lenses, probably more than RF ones. I prefer legacy SLR primes, less limitations. When I look at the samples posted in this forum I fail to see the magic of RF primes [except the cool look].

It's probably the ability of the posters rather than the capability of the RF lenses. Plenty of nice examples on the internet e.g. steve huff

Really depends on the size of the legacy lens. if i get a dslr sized lens, might as well stick to my canon system hehe...only the camera body is smaller .
