Very nice! You've done a great job of capturing available light. Although there are only a couple of your images where edge or corner sharpness can be evaluated, it appears to be doing a good job without distortion. Which appears to be the shortfall with focal reducers such as the LT II.

Have you tried it with an FD wide angle yet? How's the edge/corner sharpness and/or distortion with wide angles?

it's very difficult to notice any difference from shots using the same lenses on my A7R II, but I'm not really a pixel peeper. Sorry, I haven't tried wide angle lenses. I imagine they may be more challenging. I'm looking at getting a Flektogon 2.4/35, but it has to be the M42 version. There are a lot of lenses (Prakticar, Exakta, etc) that would be easy to adapt in terms of flange distance, but there are no available Prakticar to FD adapters. I would also love to get the Prakticar 50 1.4, but it only exists in PB mount (I would still use it on the A7R). I got the FD version because it has the shortest flange distance, but I may end up getting also the EF version because there are more adapters to EF, even with the longer flange distance.
