Great camera, nice lenses!
I've used the A7R2 a lot and train students to use our A7S2 cameras weekly (they do A LOT of video:-)
For stills and video the A7R2 is brilliant, we use only use the A7S2 cameras because their main purpose is video in ambient to low light conditions, where it is great.
Echoing what @lazysuperhero said, depends what type of shooting you prefer.
If street and doc are your thing the 35 is pretty darn perfect.
Out of the 50's I've been very impressed with the Sonnar, I haven't used the Planar though I have used it on film and found out there's a good reason it's famous:-)
We send our kits out with a Metabones Sony-Canon EF adapter for use with Canon primes and EF cinema primes. That covers pretty much every sensible request.
I haven't found the lack of aperture ring to be an issue myself, the front and rear dials feel naturally intuitive enough if you've used a Canon or Nikon SLR in the last 20 years.
Not a fan of the Sony menus, though they haven't been a deal breaker.
Hope that's of any use.
