An a7 shares lenses with its great-grandfather. Ancient all-metal MC non-X Rokkors are my favorite lenses to adapt to the a7...and the SRT102 has been my go-to film camera for a year now.

I'm still looking for a 21 mm, which will be expensive, and a 200 mm of some kind, which can be had anytime for reasonable money, especially if I'm willing to go f/4.5 rather than f/3.5.

(Picture shot with the venerable Pentax K20D + Super Takumar 35/2.0, ISO 400, 8 seconds at f/16, lamplight only.)

You've got a bit more brassing on yours than I have on mine. Looks good.

I love how these old cameras can be rebuilt (mine was last year) and then they're back to being like brand new (mechanically and optically).

The trusty Nikon D700 with my three do-it-all Tokina lenses: 3.5-4.5/20-35mm AT-X (the sharper 1990s version), 2.8/28-70mm At-X Pro (Angenieux clone) and the 2.8/80-200mm AT-X Pro.

These get 90% of the work my D700 and D300 do, their cool rendering is the perfect match for the overly red-sensitive Nikon sensor. And, they all are built tougher than their more expensive Nikon counterparts while being lower contrast and higher sharpness.
