Thank you Gregg and Joshua
Joshua, you are right Marisa and her two sisters are amazingly similar and yet so different. All born in Brazil, but are of direct Spanish decent from Galicia, NW Spain.
Your images from Seville are stunning!
This afternoon we met an interesting self trained artist, Isidoro Bouzas in his 80's. When he was 14 there was cherry tree on family's property. He had a pretty girl, a good friend, who was also 14 that asked to get some cherries from the tree. The cherry tree was 10 metres and he fell from tree and seriously injured himself. He was in hospital for a long period and survived the incident. Forty years later, visiting his family property again and the cherry tree had died and had been cut down.
Isidoro then was using a chain saw to cut the cherry tree trunk for sculpting, and the chain saw just kept stopping. It was then that he saw how fortunate he was 40 years ago, and decided to sculpt the "Our Jesus of the Cherries"
Another quick post here suggesting the AF with A7rII is a lot of fun combined with the right lens. In this case with the FE 35/1.4. Here I have set the AF to AF-C and to Zone, with Auto ISO set to Fast. I also set face detection ON.
With this I can capture kids and people very quickly, and 95% the AF picks the correct targets. This is even with the FE 35/1.4 set to f/1.4. Low light performance AF is excellent also.
Shots here below just to illustrate with the FE 35/1.4 set to f/1.4. The shot in the stairwell was very dark already and exposure was pushed 1.5 stops

Beautiful job and thanks for a desription of the process. Now to find someone who can do this for me! How do you like the Ultron?
I'm impressed by the Ultron - a great deal sharper into the corners than the FD 20 that I was using, and surprisingly compact - flare resistance is good and very low distortion too.
Photo taken at 8:04 AM on August 16, 2015 of a Monarch Butterfly and a moth on Milk Weed, Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Image cropped and taken with my tripod mounted "new" Canon new FD 500mm f4.5 L lens and my A7r, ISO 100, lens set to about f6.8 for 1/500 second. Processed in LR6.
Werner...never get tired of Lake Lugano pics!
Michiel...nice set. Love the rendering of the Fd 100/2
Charles...really nice set. Both of them.
Bob...great fair pics. It's a super place to get people photos! Our fair starts in 3 weeks!
Rich...awesome butterfly.

OK, call me confused Luka. I thought it didn't work well with any of the wide M lenses,
for sure it supposed to s@ck with your 28 Cron and it's not any better than A7R
Are you back in Sweden?
All the best to your family!
Thanks Andrew! As far as wides go, the only one that I've found that thouroughly sucks is the 35/2 Biogon wide open. It's atrocious at the edges, so not usable at large apertures for anything that has to be reasonably sharp across the edge (and not very interesting wide open).
I'll have to get back to you on the 28 Cron - have not had time to really play with it properly.

Hey Luka! Glad to see you here. Congrats on the family and the new camera!
Thanks Bob!
A couple of shots with the Zeiss 35/1.4 Rollei mount, anno 1977. It is showing its age in terms of contrast, but still not bad rendering from a 38 year old lens!
