Kookaburra, a type of Kingfisher native to Australia (this particular breed anyway). They have a very distinct song that is often referred to as a laugh

MS Optical converted (m mount) Contax 38mm 2.8 from the Contax T2
Did you source this directly from MS Optical, or through Japanexposures? I'm tempted to get one of their Contax G converted to M mount offerings...
Charlie: thanks for sourcing these interesting images. Looks like Ashwin's on a tear with his new Sony... in one of his Flickr images there's an M with the 50AA... here's hoping he has some samples of it on the Sony...
I find the barrage of criticism of this thread and its OP unfair. A7 and A7R have generated a huge appetite for pictures, especially to gauge how they fared with RF lenses. Conversely, this led to many disconnected threads on the same topic, costing me as a viewer a lot of time, and offering relatively little information relative to a lot of opinion.
So the idea of having a thread where images came from many photographers and sources, with many RF lenses, and no comments, struck me a particularly welcome, all the more as it took/takes Charlie a lot of time. That he did not get about it in the best way was unfortunate, but he has now corrected it.
Well done and thanks, Charlie!
