Classically it's a do everything lens.  You stitch multiple shots for panoramas and crop a little for more intimate framing.  It's a bit tele for me for interiors apart from individuals.  Prefer ...

That's a good tip. thanks Magnar

I probably take my EM1.1 out about every other day.  Light rain is about the worst that it sees.  Had lots of big lenses on it routinely. Bought it at launch and sent it back after a year for free ...

My fingers must be bigger than yours.  Same problem with mounting the CV15mm as Loxia 21mm.  Just accept it as part of the package of small maunal lenses.  Don't have a problem with the gap ...

Still the original Sony mount.

My Loxia 21mm and CV15mm both have a hard stop at just less than infinity.  Strangely the stop is fractionally closer on the A7R2 than the A7R. Andrew

Well, I have no special desire to own Leica lenses or views about a "Leica look". I'm rather fond of the Loxia 21mm, although still learning how to use it. Andrew

I'm afraid that you usually get what you pay for with lenses.  The advice so far is good.  As well as sharpness you might want to think about contrast. If you buy a Metabones V EF to E adapter you ...

Buy an MMF3 and a used 50-200SWD.  Go on, you know you want to! Enjoy your new camera. Andrew

That's good advice.  I'm a RAW shooter mostly and this looked like poor PP technique.  It's disappointing that standard settings don't produce a better result.  This is a challenging scene however. ...

Did you use a scene mode, sharpness setting etc...

I have never used an A7ii but I think you would be disappointed with the A7R compared to the EM5ii for your use.  Shutter shock restricts the exposure time range and no IBIS pushes you to high ISO ...

Apologies for not reading your post more carefully. Was distracted by the bit about RAW plus jpeg. Could you say a bit more about the settings that affect the jpeg. Looking at the other sub thread, ...

Could you say a bit more about the processing.  Looked at close up there appear to be both sharpening and micro-contrast artefacts.  That looks like the cause of loss of detail and enhancing the ...

It was the first lens I bought after my E500 two lens kit.  It focusses about the same maybe slightly faster on an EM1 as on an E30. On an EM1 does a good job of keeping up with a 90mm G macro on ...

Jim If you are starting some kind of competition, then we are up against some pretty heroic players.  My favourite was someone who ordered every Sony FE lens with his new A7R2 at launch and posted ...

That looks like the one I have had for a long time.  It is an APSC lens with an FT mount.  It's a weak lens, I'm afraid.  It will focus poorly on everything except an EM1.  It does fine on that. If ...

Not quite the ask, but a great result.  In this case, the second definitely has it.  Another classic shot. Andrew

Remember mirrorless use batteries for the EVF and LCD.  It's time on not shots that count.  Carry several spares, including one ready to hand. I you shoot wide angle then get the 16-35GM before primes.
