Photo taken at 8:08 AM on August 16, 2015 of a Monarch Butterfly and a moth on Milk Weed, Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Image heavily cropped and taken with my tripod mounted Canon new FD 500mm f4.5 L lens and my A7r, ISO 100, lens set to about f9.5 for 1/250 second. Processed in LR6.
Hans...incredible interior grabs! Really, really awesome!
Phillip...excellent photos, as usual...great colors.
Rene...love your bw's! I'm curious why you didn't include the CV 21 1.8 in your 21 comparison on the Loxia 21 thread. What's your take on it. Just recently got one, and so far I'm pretty impressed.

Thanks navmannz for your encouraging words . . . and I really like how you framed those large old Totora trees!

First shoot with the A7RII ...
My A7R was retired to Time Lapse duties when I picked up my 5DsR 6 months ago. However, I could resist no longer and purchased the A7RII at the Boxing Day sales. Had my first shoot with it today at Cathedral Rocks, Kiama NSW. Just processed the first two images, and yes the dynamic range is as advertised. The first image is a single frame (Zeiss 15mm ZE f2.8). The second image required some focus stacking (Canon 24-70mm f2.8II @ 24mm)
Today I received a Novoflex Noflexar 60mm f4.0 bellows head to match a vintage Novoflex bellows I got earlier. I am curious to (occasionally) venture into more magnification than 1:1. It works really well - the working distance is very small though.
As the winter is so unusually warm this year I could pick a flower in the garden.

Come to NZ then - it was widely used here in the early days as hedging on farms, and in some parts has become a problematic weed - whole hill-sides of it!
This is the view from Wayfarers Chapel's ground in Rancho Palos Verdes, a popular wedding destination in Southern California. Yes, I was there for a wedding .
