Hi, I've decided to ditch my Canon gear & make the switch to Sony A7R II. I'm the 28-50-90 kinda guy. Since I travel a lot I need the gear to be small, light weight & sturdy. The results of the Sony 28mm f2 on flickr don't impress me much. I've decided on the following two lenses as my starting kit with the A7R II & novoflex adapter. 1.) Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 asph 2.) Leica Summarit-M 90mm f/2.4 Considering the crop factor mode, I'll also be able to use the two lenses at approx. 42mm & 135mm respectively which gives me enough range (although with lesser megapixels which is a compromise I'm ok with). I intend to add a dedicated 50mm lens at a later time when budget allows. I'd like to know if anyone is using either of these lenses on their Sony? How do they perform? Should I rather look at the Leica Summicron-m 28mm since I've heard (but not seen much results) the Elmarit 28mm doesn't gel too well with the Sony? The extra stop of light isn't as big of a factor for me as the image quality. Also I'm investing in Leica lenses coz I like the look of the Leica glass and might someday purchase a Leica body which is clearly out of my budget in the near future. I'd consider loxia trilogy if a 28 & 90 existed but the closes they have is Batis 25mm & 85mm which both look bulky. Any advice or wisdom you have to offer is highly appreciated. Cheers.
