Gregg, love the first and the last of your streetscenes. Great mood! And I love that lens as well!
(not sure if you need a Batis)
Thanks Michiel!! I'd love a Batis 85, but I picked this one(85 1.4MMJ)up instead. A local guy had it for sale. Haven't shot one for a long time, but my style is a little different now, and I think I'll keep it. Has a very special look, too. Not really too sharp WO, and needs a little more massaging in post, but the results are pleasing nonetheless!

Two images (on A7R) of the Lyme Regis Dorset "Candles on the Cobb" charity event. An idea dreamt up in a pub in 2000 and involving lighting 5000 candles along the harbour wall:
I have to say the new Metabones IV I picked up, in combination with the a7R II, is utter perfection. (Seems much better across the frame than the a7R and Metabones III I was using. Not sure if it was the adapter, the mount/sensor, or both.) But this shot looks incredible at 100%.
A fried of mine asked me to take her pic today. I messed up and on my A7r2 auto ISO this pic was on ISO 2500! I was using the FE 70-200 F4 at 200 and wide open. Who says this lens is not sharp? At ISO 2500 I am very pleased with the quality. Cannot imagine an image this clean on any earlier camera I have owned. Minimal processing:
I never thought about the video function with the A7rII all that much, but it is really awesome! Combine it with the FE 35/1.4 and the combo works magic.
Photo taken the evening of August 8, 2015 about 12 minutes before sunset near the top of the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M 90mm f2.5 Simmarit lens, ISO 100, lens set to about f8 for 1/200 second. Exposure corrected by about 0.83 stops and processed in LR6.
A7R with metabones & Canon 8-15 fisheye. First time I've really utilized the DR & 36mp the A7R offers. Amazing detail, & a small powerful stadium kit assuming small camera's are allowed in. Click on the link for more detail.
The collection of religious artifacts at the cathedral of Seville, Spain, is huge. It is displayed in a multi-chamber, treasury section of that facility. I am putting two images up strictly for photographic purposes regardless of the religious connotation and the materials the items were made of. The third image is of the handle of a thick metal gate made with distinctive Moors influence. Since the original image was practically monochrome, I converted that to B&W.
