Congratulation Arka and Derek on the new baby (babies)!
Nice work as always in this thread.
Jochen, great composition, tones and mood. I think I would have preferred it if the building would have been in focus though, since my eyes go there first. Still, very nice photo.
Sorry about the football match btw.!
I'm back from Shetland (great trip!) and hope that I have something to post later.

Nice picture Jochen with really dramatic sky. Where is taken? I've seen the place in pictures before and always wondered.
Thanks. It's the Mont Saint Michel in France.

Thanks Helena. The building is perfectly in focus, but the resizing went wrong. I also noticed that it appeared to be soft/out of focus. I replaced it with the right version now.

Great that it was an easy fix. Nicely done, looks much better now.
And I agree with what is said about using RX1 for close-ups. Here's one of a wild rabbit in Shetland.
At first we thought it was sick since it was completely fearless, but then it calmly moved around and we discovered that another bunny was looking at us from holes less than a meter away. It was in a remote area where there are no roads, on a small island called Fair Isle. Perhaps we were the first people these young rabbits had ever seen.

That's cute Helena. The rendering of the 35/2 Sonnar is most special in the close up range IMHO.
Btw, I still think it's a shame that Sony doesn't release any firmware updates for this camera! Both my RX100m3 and (ex)A7 have the simple option to select a small AF point. Why not update the RX1 too then?

Yes, I agree. My main wish though is that they make the camera remember the set MF distance when the camera goes to sleep.

Mine too, together with the smaller focus point and faster AF (if possible). My example of the small focus points is because of Sony now including it in all their cameras. They just ignore the RX1 users.
