Since adding the 70-400gii it's rare I use the FE 70-200, shame because I think it's a great lens. When I look through my Flickr album 90% of images are 300mm+ or 14-20mm. Another thought, many are salivating over the forthcoming FE 70-200/2.8 but I've found F4 is a non issue with the Rii and wouldn't want the weight of the 2.8-https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1541/23902859583_4fc892e197_b.jpgRed-bellied by MedicineMan4040, on Flickr

Wow, I instantly feel an urge to go back to Nepal. Last time I was there, was in 2008, I recognize the temple on photo no. 2. Wasn't it in Patan? I used to shoot there with a Fujifilm S5pro.
What 100mm lens did you use? Canon or Minolta? And if yes, what adapter?
Thanks
Bernie
Hi Bernie,
Photo 2 was taken at Pashupatinath Temple precinct looking towards the Bagmati River. I only had two days in Kathmandu as it was the lead up to EBC. In hindsight I should have stayed longer and visited more temples alone rather than with a guided tour.
The lens used is the Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 100 ZE with the metabones IV. I purchased this lens after seeing the amazing photos Ronny Olson captures with this lens , with the hope of one day producing images as amazing as Ronny's.
Cheers,
H

I think these images require a more than just a 'like' button, a 'love' button would be more appropriate. Great images, love them!

Nice picture of Acadia Rich. I'm envious, I was really looking forward a bit of rain, mist and fog. We got mostly sunshine. There were a few occasions where it got a bit overcast but nothing as atmospheric as in your image.

Not having been able to post for a while and hence have a lot of pages of impressive work to catch up with.
Helena, Philip, Werner, Dave, Bob, Greggf, Charlie, Ronny, Rene: exceptional work (as always).
Philip: No.1 and 3 of the set on the previous page are totally amazing.
MedicineMan808 Dmitri: Great work on the woodpecker and owl with the 70-400G2. I have since sold my FE 70-200, since it has seen very little use.

Agreed !!!
I too have the PL 100-400g on pre-order.
I don't think I'd cancel though.
The lack of anything native 300mm+ from Sony in e-mount
is why we (the Mrs & I) have 17 mFTs lenses.....and hopefully
soon enough will add the 100-400 and the 300/F4.
She uses the OMD m5ii and I use a GX8.

Getting to 800mm (FF equivalent) with a 1kg lens is indeed nice, but I'm wondering about situations where you don't have sufficient light. f6.3 isn't great on FF, but that tiny m43 sensor doesn't give you a lot of leeway to jack up the ISO, no? Or have the m43 cameras come close to the best APSC sensors by now? I have no clue about m43, hence I'm just wondering.

Just a couple of test shots.
Got in my 4x OM lenses from the B&S board, good price but exact quality was unknown.
The 75-150/4 needs TLC - I think something is misaligned, I'm not sure, so it's my test lens for disassembly.
The 50/1.4 is surprising - at f/1.4 it's the typical glowy older f/1.4 lens, but wow at f/2 this thing completely changes character and radically sharpens up, no just a little, but radically. A keeper!
I also got a 65-200/4, what a cool lens. I spent about 2 hours disassembling the thing to work on infinity focus, as I couldn't reach infinity at all from about 150mm-200....turns out the front element group was just loose! Doh! Oh well, no harm. I'll like this one.
Final lens is the 28/2.8 -- This thing might as well be a lensbaby At f/2.8, there is a tiny part of the image that is sharp and in focus, then everything goes crazy quickly. Unsure if something's wrong with the lens, because stopped down it's fine...I haven't done corner testing yet.

Just back from 4 days atop Huangshan Mountain in Anhui province, China. Pity the snow didn't arrive until the day I left ! It was quite cold though at -10C to -14C whilst waiting for the dawn. Currently (at 1,865m, over 6,000ft) it's down to -20C and -36C with wind chill taken into account .... so maybe it was good I missed the snowfall !
Most work was done with bracketing the Tamron 15-30 on a D800E, mounted on a tripod of course, however the A7r was always in my pocket awaiting it's chance to shine. Note that Huangshan is famous for it's occasional 'Sea of Clouds' and is the mountain seen in so many traditional Chinese paintings. I was lucky in that I saw the 'Sea of Clouds' twice (in different locations) during my 4 sunsets and 4 sunrises. Missed the snow-covered monkeys though
I should also mention that a Glory, or Brocken spectre, is very often seen on this mountain - and happened one of the day's I was there, but in a different location, according to another 'tog I spoke to.
So, first out of the cooker, at sunrise (A7r + 55/1.8), for a sense of scale the famous Huangshan Pines are between 10m and 30m high :
