Even at my age, I didn't have any problems carrying that gear setup during the entire trip 
. And I am pleased with the setup and not only did it deliver and it did so without any glitch. The A7s excelled in low light during certain events.
Tons of great images were posted on this thread but I couldn't pull up the pages while away since the internet connection wasn't that good at all. I missed the turn to 1,000th page and missed the availability of the A7r II while I was gone. I setup the delivery of the new camera to coincide with the first day of my return home and indeed, B&H came through. It is on the UPS truck now for today's delivery 
.
The last images I posted were from Meteora, Greece in the first week of the trip. Here are two images from Madrid, Spain taken on the first day/night. I wanted to post more but for whatever reasons I couldn't although I shrank down the files significantly..... Hmm, it seems to work now .Welcome back Joshua! I think I can say, you missed us 
Impatient to see your work...

Hi Manuel,
Thank you! Yes, I missed you guys on that trip alright but the internet connection was only so so even at the fastest spots. The thread has tons of images (duh!) and there were times the pages simply didn't load at all.
Except for Greece, the trip was mostly a guide tour and it wasn't photographically oriented although I managed to do OK at various occasions. I will start posting selected images later as I am still working on them as we speak. Here is a teaser
captured in Torremolinos, Casta del Sol.

Seafood anyone?

dasrocket, Bob, Philipe, Dale, pinholecam, Luvwine, jviegas, Charles and of course Joshua ... great works guys, it is a real pleasure to visit every day (more times a day) this fantastic place!
After some days with the FE 90 Macro my feeling is that it is a "Monster" lens... I wish to see the results on Ronny hands
Manuel
Edit: I forgot René, Michiel, Ronny, Werner and for sure someone else but it was implied

Excellent macro images, Rick and Manuel!
I read a few great reviews even before I left. Although I was not planning of buying that lens originally but now I am considering it. Not a bad lens for portraits either although it is on the slow side.

Manuel, for a guy who has never done macro before, you are a fast learner! Great stuff! And thanks for the kind words, too.

Pretty amazing when you can still get this kind of detail and texture @ iso 6400! thank you Sony

xwing, nice contrasty b&w images.
dasrocket, nice work with that samyang 85 1.4. Might be a good and cheaper option for this focal length. Any thought you have on this lens?

A7R II with Canon FD 85mm f/1.8 wide open. I have a Batis 85/1.8 coming tomorrow for review...and I'm sure it'll be better than this, but man, the FD 85 is really a strong performer considering its age and price.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
I captured this by the beach close to my hotel. What an amazing place!
This was a 3-bracketed photo taken with my FE 16-35/4.
Which one do you prefer?

I have the Nikon mount, version II I believe. It's a bit heavy on the A7, but it balances very well when the battery grip is on the body.
Solid construction, super sharp and has a very close MFD. I have been pleasantly surprised with all my Samyangs so far, and this is not an exception.

Fred - the light is better in 2, but I prefer the composition of #1.
