Hi Wayne, here some images to pixelpeep. Downloaded original size files,
Zone10 seems not to like it ;-). I did not cancel all editing, but reset
cropping and sharpening (not with all).

<http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=23085>

The garden and intererior are with the original A7, so lens stablisation
only (I'm satisfied with it, my reference being the E-M1...). The gardens
and house of Monet in Giverny, France, btw. Pictures are sharpened. Inside
pictures partly without support (I'm usually looking for doorposts etc, I
worry about horizontal level later ;-).

Rest is A7R ii, no sharpening except default LR. IBIS for some part of the
stabilisation, lens for the rest, as I understood. Didn't test it
extensively, but it's OK.

Hope you see why I'm quite satisfied with the lens (and camera's).

Please share your findings.
