Wanting a macro solution for the Sony A7 I decided to try a 60/2.8 Macro-Elmarit R and a Metabones adapter. Not entirely impressed by the adapter - nicely made no doubt about it - but mounting the lens it feel very tight. Not like my Novoflex adapter for M lenses.
I've hankered after a 60/2.8 Macro during the years and it is great to have a camera system that can justify owning one. Not sure of the results, though. Both tripod mounted.

For comparison's sake here are two taken with my Sigma DP3M - which I class as being a great macro lens - however (as you may know) ergonomics and usability leave a lot to be desired over the Sony A7.
I'm surprised at how close the IQ is between the two camera/lens combinations. I thought the Sigma would win out hands down.
