Pentax Super Takumar 100/2
Most of your legacy Pentax lenses should do very well on the Sony A7/r especially with you behind the camera. Where on earth did you find this Takumar 100f2?

Confirmed. Tested d Pentax 135/2.8, 35/2.8, 35/3.5. All performed amazingly well on d A7. Cheers.

If you are interested in a 135mm portrait lens, the Pentax K 135f2.5 is really outstanding at a very affordable price. Which Pentax 135f2.8 did you test, M42 or Pentax K mount with prefix K, M or A?

Oopz. I mean 135/2.5. I've tested bro overworked's copy. Very sharp
The Minolta 58/1.2 looks good.
Pleasant OOF rendering for linear stuff, which not all lenses can do.
For me, $2K is a bit expensive for a 'play-play' camera that will only be used for MF.
I got '0' interest in the native FF A mount lenses at those prices, speed, size.
Not to mention the AF/handling compared to a fully fleshed out DSLR.
I will wait for it to drop to about $1.5K as a personally 'acceptable' price.
The 5D works well enough for playing around.
Its more forgiving of focus errors and subject movements and often, the subject matter I use it on (ie. people/candids/odd & ends) don't go to print anyway, which makes needing more pixels unnecessary.
Not to mention the faster response time of the prism over EVF.
Hard to sell off anyway.
There is a M135/2.8 (very small with a nice built in hood) and an A135/2.8.
There seldom is a bad 135mm on most brands, even 3rd party ones (like the is no real bad 50mm and 85mm)

After using the Sony NEX for 2 years, I will never ever go back to DSLR. I find totally no lag on my NEX 5N with EVF. Manual focusing is a real joy and actually more accurate than AF.

Nice catch!
You shot these from outside your house window?
It seems to be almost same level as you are.
Voigtlander 35mm f/1.7 Ultron ASPH LTM lens on A7 wide open
Wow!
Posh event...
Nice o/p from the Voigtlander Ultron.
Do you have the 40/2?
I am considering one.
