I've put up my 5D Mark III and all my Canon lenses for sale after getting the a7RII (I don't want to use a third-party adapter and have some of the camera's features crippled, such as eye-AF, continuos video AF without holding down the half-shutter, etc.). I'm only using native FE lenses with the a7RII, and I really wish Sony would release a constant f/2.8 standard zoom soon, since f/4 is just a tad slow. I still have my Olympus E-M1, but I might be selling that off soon too, especially after my Pilotfly H1+ arrives.

Here are a few I've taken with the 55mm f/1.8:

And the 24-70 f/4:

I just added the 16-35mm f/4, but I'm using it more as a video lens in Super 35 mode, and rarely use it for stills.

I am on my second A7r 2 body after I found the first one unable to focus properly. However I already found that I could get good get good AF with my Canon lenses. Mainly the 17-40, the 24-105, and the 70-200 F4. These lenses on the new body give AF almost as good as I get from my Canon cameras. However, this image is taken with the kit lens, which is actually a really sharp performer. The image below isn't sharpened in any way, and shows fascinating detail. Which is why I think I am going to love this camera.

Just to back up my comments regarding the fantastic image quality of the A7r2, this image was taken just by putting the camera on the ground between the trees, and seeing what resulted. Of the three or four shots I took, this seemed the nicest.
