Your pictures are very nice. The light and the purity of the air make them even more "crispy" and contrasty.
I hope there will be once a comparison test available between A7 and A7 mod . Especially concerning corner smearing with RF WA. |

Town is about 5800ft
Here CV 35/1.4 @5.6ish

One issue worthy of note: M9 is way better to MF in action shots than A7. _________________ Making MFlenses safe for the letter *L* |

Well I got this one right, around f/8 could even be 5.6:

This is actually superior in the corners to my 40/2 shots.
If you look at the flickr mag, center frame just over the haze in the distant valley is another ridge line. That's 80 miles away. _________________ Making MFlenses safe for the letter *L*

f 8 looks good in the corners without smearing.
f5.6 too if I watch the left and right down corners.
I supposed that it was not the case before the modification.
Thanks for posting.
Do you have a Skopar 25mm f4 ? |

Sorry I do not. I would expect it to improve. It might be good enough by f/8 or f/11 on the edges, based on what I see with tests on other skopars, the 21 and 35.
But these lenses are the most difficult to make work on digital. _________________ Making MFlenses safe for the letter *L* |

Nice pictures for sure - but let's not sell the CV 35/1.4 short - it is actually different to the 35/1.4 Summilux - it has 8 elements rather than that lens's 7. I suppose the 35 Nokton follows the pattern of the first 35mm Summicron, which was an 8 element design. Interesting that you find the corners better than the 40's (7 elements like the original Summilux) - I have a 40 and keep wondering if the 35 actually does better on the Leica. _________________ Stephen

In my samples, yes that is the case.
I'd be surprised if the CV 40/1.4 has less elements than the 35/1.4 but I don't know

The 50 Lux asph is decent on the A7 series when focus is close but not fantastic at infinity.
here some of the first lux samples on A7r:
