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"
Some photos of Isidoro.

Lovely work, Charles!
Thank you Philippe
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 image! I would love to hear more about the mod on the lens hood! Where did you have it done? Any pics? Been thinking about doing this myself . . .Bob, this was a home job, after consultation with an engineer friend, and much trepidation. The photos below show the sequence applied to my 21mm Ultron to which I gave the same treatment. In retrospect it was straightforward, despite the nerves, and while I'm waiting for the right stepping adapter, it looks the Benro 100 mm filter holder will provide full coverage even on the 15 mm, which is brilliant. Regards, John
.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.

A long absence from me, due mostly to my A7R having to spend time with Mr Sony getting a replacement sensor glass fitted under warranty. Now thankfully back in action, and here's one from a weekend trip to the coast where I tried out my Heliar 15mm III, now lacking its hood which allows use of my Benro filters - very pleased with the mod!

Gregg and ecarlino - wonderful images.
Here's nothing special here but I'm just playing around with my new FE35/1.4. All shot wide open on the A7rII

I'm lagging some 1074 pages in this thread, but really great shots here
The primary reason why I have not done much photography for the past year:

It's really difficult to find time - I'm really in awe of those of you who manage to have time for work, family and photography!Congratulations, Luka, and welcome to the club!
Thanks!

Really a superb camera. I'm very happy that all my M-lenses work beautifully, even UWAs like the Zeiss 18. Not that it needs more mentioning but the low light performance is just plain ridiculous.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.

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!
Ps, awesome collection of photos here guys!
