Great shots! The last couple of pages are amazing. And Ronny must import insects. Most of them are new to me and Ronny gets them to stand still and pose - unbelievable! Great wide angle shots with the 28 adapter. Love the FE 90 shots. And it is painful to want that 35 1.4 ZM.
Well, here is another test of the 35 year old Contax Zeiss Planar 50mm F/1.7 on the A7RII. I am thinking this is one of the great bargain lenses on the market. I made the image large to show off the corner to corner sharpness and included a crop from the lower right hand corner of the picture.

i hope u had a chance to inside the dam, great pics, Taylor.
Thanks! I did, it was very cool. Though in terms of sheer scale, I haven't seen anything yet that compares to the main power room at the Grand Coulee Dam. But I haven't been inside there in around 30 years.
The last picture has me just about convinced to sell my A7 (Kolari modded, used here) and A7ii and get the A7r2. That sensor reflection just completely drives me batty.
I believe the first two are with the 35 Lux FLE and the 3rd is the 21 SEM.
I'm a noob in wide-field astro but I think the Rii can easily run with if not out perform the 6D in this area. This shot with quick minimal (amateur) processing=no stacks, no median layer masks,etc. I'd also point out that I live in a temperate rain forest with 300 plus cloudy days a year.

Photo taken the evening of August 8, 2015 about 16 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 f8 for 1/125 second. Corrected by about +1 stop and processed in LR6.
This thread is becoming like my morning cup of coffee, it wakes me up, and really shows off some beautiful images. Then of course I get the itch to buy new gear.
First two with the 90mm, and then the last with the 35 ZA
