Steve,
I am very much using the word "fatal" in a tongue-in-cheek manner. There are
some in Leica Land who loudly describe & lament that the Sony A7 doesn't handle
M mount wide angle lenses as well as Leica's digital M's do and how this is
somehow an achilles heel in A7's being a suitable alternative. If that's their
opinion so be it. I happen to find it humorous because My opinion is that an A7
does what it's designed to do and poor performance with M Wides because it
hasn't Leica's specially designed sensor and software tucked inside is just a
neutral statement of fact. To be hyperbolous about it: I think it's like
getting emotionally invested in fact a phillips head screwdriver doesn't work
very well with slot head screws.
I have to run, snack time and head is getting fuzzy for this diabetic at the
moment.
Richard
