It seems like a reasonable idea - but only if you need 36MP. If you don't you're just spending another 2k on a body that is surplus to requirements.

I don't know if it's done as much in photography, but in video people mix and match all of the time. In fact, one of my favorite lenses for my Canon bodies is an old Yashica 50mm f/1.4 that I picked up for under $100.

I use several different brand lenses on my Sony A77 and Nex6.

From what I have read (Sonyalpharumors) the new A7 and A7r have some lens vibration problems.
Not a show stopper and will probably be corrected but just heads up.

I'm tempted by the A7r to use with my Canon lenses but the bit about some of the adapters not being up to the job puts me off.  I'll wait and see if that gets sorted out.

I love the NEX6 and probably buy another body. Just like you I will hold off on the new E-mount full frame systems.
