Photo taken at 2:09 PM on June 29, 2015 of a crashing wave, Mount Desert Island in Acadia National Park, Maine. Image taken with my tripod mounted Leica R 180mm f3.4 Apo Telyt lens and my A7r, ISO 100, lens set to about f8? for 1/200 second. Processed in LR6.
I am in the process of sorting, moving files around and deleting rejects, etc. related to a new computer. I couldn't believe the number of files I have come across that didn't get processed before. Here are two from a session earlier in the year that didn't get any attention before for a change from San Miguel Allende images .

A7rII ZA 135/1.8
Charles, fantastic set with 135mm... first one is special, very very nice atmosphere and mood
René, superb b/w, as usual, and lovely minimal landscape in color.
Bob, panoramas on "your" lake are always impressive

Phillip, just noticed you have a new camera (?)... your glorious A7 is definitely dead? Why you chose A7M2 instead A7RM2? Less problems with older lenses?
My a7 is still at the repair center in Austria. Because I can't work on my blog without a camera I bought a refurbished a7ii from Amazon.de for a very good price. I can sell it without a loss when my a7 returns.
I like the more solid mount and IBIS is a nice feature but even if I sold my a7 the upgrade would cost me about 700€ and I don't see that it is worth that much to me. After all the IBIS will only make a difference in a small fraction of my images. Another argument is that cameras lose their value very quickly (about 30% every year) while my manual lenses don't lose any value.
The a7ii is certainly a very good camera, better than my a7. And the a7rII is even better (except the soft preview image at 5x magnification). But I am still a student and I think my money is better spent on lenses and other non-photographic things so I will sell the a7ii in two weeks, I already have a buyer
