EDIT : Just realized you probably are using an A7 (you wrote A7's not A7s). So you're familiar with the difference in reflection between the A7 and the R models. If you can deal with the shutter shock and noise the cost of used A7r bodies is coming down (a lot). How about adding one to use for night scenes and backup for your A7?Thank you for the advice! An internet friend who has used all models except the A7R says that the A7II has much less sensor reflections than the original A7. Can anyone else confirm? I thought about A7R, especially since I prefer the weight/size of the older models, but if I am going to get another camera I'd like one that I can use for a few years to come. Also, because of our shorts days in winter I'm almost always at 1/60 between October and March even in broad daylight, which is often a bit too slow for a 50mm lens, so I'd love to have IBIS. My friend now uses the A7RII and says that beside the higher resolution it doesn't offer much over the A7II for my type of photography.
But yes, the A7R is still in the game, especially since it's getting quite cheap.
I owned that original A7r, then A7II and now A7rII. The original A7 series definitely had more sensor reflection that both cameras in the series II. When I first got the A7II, I immediately could see the improvement.

Helena, as I recall the A7/II reflections are worse than the A7r/II (even if they're better than the A7s)Mike

Sorry to hear your woes Helena! I know how you feel. It's been a thing with the Sony's...I know my A7rM is much better in this regard as well. Haven't shot with my Rll @night yet, but I hope to soon. I can say, the IBIS really is awesome!!

This and the next are nothing special, just looking @the bokeh and 3D-ness

A few days ago - quite a lot of pages! - I said a macro photo was taken with an 80mm E.ECHO enlarging lens. Someone pointed out there is no such lens. I should have said 75mm E.ECHO lens. Sorry for the mistake.
Nothing to do with the photos, but some people manage to put Exif data in the borders of their pictures. Is there an easy way to do this? I would do it with any images I post if I could work out how to do it.

Great shots Gregg !
i agree about IBIS, it's worth alone the upgrade.
Helena, i would not worry to much about the sensor reflection, it does not harm your great shots !
Cheers

I'm not overly impressed with the Batis 85 1.8. It's fine, but missing something of the nice 1.4s I've used elsewhere. Any other thoughts?

Thank you very much Jordan, Mike, Bob, Gregg and Werner for your input. Very helpful. Werner, that's nice to read. I still want IBIS, but since days are getting brighter it's becoming less urgent. I'll think about it some more and keep an eye on the used market.
Since this is a picture thread; here are a few random shots with FE28:

I used the Sony Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 with LA-EA4 adapter quite a bit and I loved the results. Now, I switched to the Batis mostly to improve the ergonomics/operation of my setup. I didn't compare them side-by-side. So, different circumstances (lighting conditions generate different feel/images but they are both great lenses in that focal length. While I love the images generated by both but the ease/convenience of operation goes to the Batis.

Thank you very much, Werner. I'd not come across Mogrify before. I was a bit slow in working it out, but eventually it all clicked. Very easy once it's all set up. The challenge now is to improve what is inside the pictures.
