And bravo your images are great!
Thanks René for this post... are all wide open? I've always been tempted by CV 35mm f/1.2 and now there are also some good occasion on used market but to be honest I don't like very much his bokeh

think was between 1.2 - 2.0 . I like the look . even if not perfect . it has character
To answer some questions I'm getting:
I only took RX1R and A7R II + Leica R 19 v2 and 28 v2 with me. Super light and plenty enough.
Used a medium Billingham insert - it fit inside my "regular" backpack, plus Macbook Air 11 etc.
We travel with carry on only so this worked pretty amazingly well. Obviously Air Tahiti Nui's pilots decided
to go on strike, but that's another story
Both cameras deliver stunning files. Polarizer used on pretty much every shot to enhance cloud separation.
Great trip, as always Great, great time of the year to travel there.
I received an Elmarit-M 90 today, the (final?) step in my transition to small M-mount lenses suitable for back-country escapades. Interesting to compare it to the FD100 F/2 at infinity, which it easily outperforms in the outer parts of the image wide open down to about F/4, but while the Elmarit shows little improvement after that, the FD probably just outperforms it out at the edges once stopped down to F/5.6 or 8 - nothing between them in the image centre. The Elmarit-M also goes very nicely with a Nikon 3T or 4T close focus adaptor as in the first two here - but not unexpectedly, this combo can't quite match my Tamron SP90 for capture of the finest details - I know which I'd rather carry over a long distance though!
John - thanks all for a great year of images - a great source of inspiration and insight.

A couple of shots from recent trip to Moab Ut.
First is the La Sal Mountains in the distance from a Jeep trip on the "Hell's Revenge Trail" just outside of Moab, with Dan Mick. The second image is of Dan Mick and out friends who were on the Jeep tour.
