Thanks Mike and Manuel for you kind words. The FE 24-240 lens continues to amaze me with its IQ. I can't wait to use it on the A7R II. The added stabilization should really help with this big lens even though it already does very well as it is. I keep thinking that I have the best copy of the lens in existence! It just never impresses me in reviews.
Yes, it is true that I like the 3D look created by sharp focus and deep field depth more than I like shallow depth of field which often shows off the lens more than the image in my opinion. That diversity of ideas is what makes this thread so enjoyable to me.
