Which prime lens actually delivers the sharpest results on a Sony a7R V because I am getting zero crispness from my current glass?
I spent 4k on this body for a landscape gig in Iceland next month and my 35mm GM looks soft at the edges. Its honestly driving me crazy. Budget is around $2k...
Adding my two cents here... you really need to be careful with diffraction on that 61MP sensor. I would suggest looking at technical MTF charts on sites like LensRentals or the reviews from Phillip Reeve to see how glass actually behaves at high spatial frequencies. Basically, if you stop down past f/7.1, you are gonna lose that biting crispness.
Man, I feel your pain. I took my a7R V to the Dolomites last year thinking my old setup would hold up, but that 61MP sensor is brutal. It shows every single flaw. I actually had issues with two copies of that 35mm GM before I gave up because the corner smearing was just unacceptable. Its frustrating when you drop 4k on a body and the glass cant keep up. For Iceland, you need stuff thats tack sharp edge-to-edge. Here is what actually worked for me after a lot of trial and error:
