I like Steve Huff, he seems like a nice guy, but trust his judgement? No, generally I think the only person you can trust the judgement of is yourself, or people you know very well. Even then, I know my own judgement is pretty ropey at times.
LOL! You said almost exactly what I was going to write. ;-)
Steve Huff does a good job of what he does, with lots of energy and as much accuracy as a single individual can muster. But he's still just one guy reviewing gear and giving his opinion.
When it comes to what I like, what feels useful to me, etc, the only person who can make that evaluation is me. And sometimes I even get it wrong ... for me.
Anyway, I fully expect that for the most part the best lenses to use on these new wunderkameras are going to the ones that Sony (Zeiss) makes specifically for them. And I'm sure that won't stop people from trying out their existing lenses on them too, and complaining bitterly when they aren't exactly what they wanted them to be.
For me, the Sonys pose an interesting possibility for the future. I'm not all that enthusiastic about Sony's body ergonomics and such, though, whereas I have always been extremely pleased with what Olympus does in that regard on their pro grade cameras. The big sensor is nice, I'm sure it will perform well. A friend has pre-ordered one, I'll be getting the low down on it through his eyes for a while to come.
(Steve,
The A7 and A7r use two entirely different sensors.
The A7 sensor is lower density with larger photosite pitch and has PDAF sensors embedded in it. The A7r sensor has smaller photosites and no AA filter. The microlens array has to be completely different between them.
I expect their behavior with various RF lenses will also differ, possibly radically, particularly with short focal length, near-symmetric designs like the Biogons and Color Skopars. The only way to know what works well and what doesn't will be to have production units in hand and test them carefully.)
