Sad news: Dr. Hubert Nasse has passed away. You may know him as the public face of Zeiss's technical side and perhaps read his MTF primer or watched Matt Granger's interview with him. Maybe you used one of his lens designs as he was responsible for the Otus, many of the Master Cinema Primes, and the Batis lenses among many others.
Why apologize for that? Most of us have kids and a large part of pleasure from being a parent comes from observing their subsequent steps in the most difficult career - the life itself.
Besides,good photography is about taking pictures of what you like/love most.Not only that this helps to express your feelings,but it is the strongest resounding inner stimulus to show what to do further.

Visited the American Swedish Institute, which is partially housed in a 1900's mansion. It's a wonderfully ornate space that employed several dedicated woodworkers/carvers during construction, contains 11 different Swedish tile stoves (evidently for decorative purposes, as the house had central heat from the outset) and some wonderful plaster work, too.
CY 100/3.5 - first one at ISO 6400 to get 1/160s wide open. (a7r) Horrible late window light, almost didn't shoot.
Kind of you, rico, but not me, it's the lens. Something happens at times in my travels, mostly with this lens - I have never had a lens that delivers so gracefully and consistently, I just love it for people, to be honest. Often get 7-8 keepers in a row. It's small size is why I want the new 85/2.4 for closer work / a little less flattening. [I'm not at all sure the Batis was for me, good though it surely is.] I hope for bokeh much like the CY100 in the 85/2.4 - I know you have misgivings, time will tell. Thanks for the advice over the years.
