Both R and M lenses work fine, including the R 19mm Elmarit 2.8 (II) which is great. The only lens that created a pblem was the VC 12mm for obvious reasons, but even here the central 80 % is fine. I also use the R 80-200mm which was excellent. I am going to use/try out soon the R 180 mm on the A7r... let you know > > These all seem to work well for me.
