No problem, Manuel. Those are great images there. What lens did you use for those? The Contax 100-300mm?

I'm still waiting on a final verdict on the 70-300. If it's as decent as my Canon 100-400, it may be the way to go for an all-native lens lineup.
I'm ready to do away with the last of my Canon and Sigma lenses and go all native.
A few users reported that their lens exhibits some corner issues at 300mm or one side is softer than the other side. I am not sure where the problem is with those reported cases but for what I bought the lens for, which is capturing 3-dimensional objects, I care less how the corners perform. My copy easily shows plenty of sharpness over easily 75% of the central frame at the long end, even at wide open, mind you. So, it has to do with expectation, I would say. I do not have the Mark II version of the 100-400mm. Although I was tempted to get that a few times but this lens won me over because of the native mount. And I will be using my Canon 400mm DO Mark II to cover longer reach.
There is a good chance that we will be going to Bolsa Chica next weekend. If you are not doing anything, please feel free to join us. Not sure whether it will be on Saturday or Sunday though but I can PM you the exact day as soon as i find out in the next few days. You can try out that lens and judge it for yourself. How's that?
