Alright Manuel...another awesome set! Fall is finally setting in here, although last week it was 104 degrees at my house
So I'll throw a few leaf shots out at you.

A7rM and Bokina 90 2.5
Here are a few I took of the wife at a friend's house picking fruits. It was the first time I shot the a7RII during a sunny day outdoors (we rarely ever go out, so this type of outdoors situation is not common for us).
Usually I shoot with the 55mm f/1.8 because indoors/low-light and cramped space isn't what the 24-70mm f/4 is good at (due to the f/4), but on a sunny day outdoors like this, I was really happy to be able to shoot the 24-70mm f/4 and get nice subject/background separation and not have to think about high ISO noise.
The 55m f/1.8 still will give more shallow DOF but the difference is not as obvious due to inherent longer distance between subject and background when compared to typical indoor situations in our home.

I go on Saturday .. will be really fun
Maybe too much, but rather too much than too little
Very cool. I for one, am looking forward to seeing what you come back with. Hehe.
Nice selection of lenses for your trip too.
I'm headed to Vancouver and the surrounding area tomorrow for a 5 day vacation. Narrowing down the gear selection was not easy.
I had to figure out how to get it all to fit in the one lowepro backpack that I intend as my carry-on on the plane.
Amazing shots everyone!
Thank you Philippe and Ronnie Ronnie have an awesome trip
Philippe, in truth if the Batis 85 was available I would not have considered the ZA 85/1.4. As it turns out this is a great lens for portraits. I loved my 75 Lux, but it has found a new home. The extra reach of 85 does make a difference and both lenses are very similar in weight for a f/1.4. Also having an accurate AF with the very narrow DOF is extremely handy. In fact I think the ZA 85/1.4 feels lighter than the FE 35/1.4. The ZA 135/1.8 is truly a classic portrait lens and just lights ups portraits like no other lens I have had. Even when Sony/Zeiss have a new offering for the 135, the ZA 135/1.8 has a permanent home
