A7 and CV 35/1.7 VM (#1, 3-5, 7) and CV 50/1.5 VM (#2, 6)
The one with the Whooper Swans is nearly a 100% crop and is heavily processed.
The bottle says "Simpson's genuine Orange lemonade".
I have become very fond of my Voigtlander lenses. They are not technically perfect, but perfect for me.
Photo taken at 8:17 PM on August 13, 2015 of a Doe White Tail Deer and partially hidden Fawn, Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Image taken with my tripod mounted Canon new FD 500mm f4.5 L lens and my A7r, ISO 640, lens set to f4.5 for 1/125 second. Exposure corrected by + 0.95 Stops and processed in LR6.
Since my city holds the title of European Capital of Culture in 2016,some investments in urban infrastructure have been lately made to live up to that.Last saturday I went to see one of the boulevards along the river,opened after renovation.
Wiev from the old suspension bridge towards the boulevard on the left...
A7R+ G Planar 45/2
.....and the paralel bridge with new footpath underneath....
A7R+G Sonnar 90/2.8
....the suspension bridge itself plus tiny bit of University Campus on the other side (to my joy I noticed 150m to the left from the place I stood trees felled by beavers - this means they overcome the danger of extinction and are back to the city after nearly 550 years,yey!)...
A7R+G Planar 45/2
......near the National Museum,the art installation is placed ("Birds" by Magdalena Abakanowicz)....
A7R+G Planar 35/2
.....people seem to enjoy being there.....

A7R+G Planar 35/2

A7R+G Sonnar 90/2.8
A7R+Canon nFD 24/2.8
I passed the river walking by the two old bridges.....
A7R+Planar G 35/2

.....and headed further through the oldest city district....
A7R+G Planar 45/2
.....landing up finally in the Botanical Gardens,where first flowers are in full bloom.....

nehemiahphoto and MedicineMan, thank you guys The Minolta glass in this lens just seems to draw color nuances from flat lighting somewhat like the ZA 135/1.8.
This lens has found a permanent home
I know exactly what you mean Charles about the colors. Some of the good Minolta glass has the most delicate tonality. The only lens I have shot that does it more than the 80-200 2.8 is the Mino 85 Limited. I liked the Mino 200 2.8, but I found the colors were too much saturated and lost some of that delicacy. I think the GM 85 is coming out today (?) and I'll compare it and do another 85 shoot out.

A7RII with Leica WATE Nothing subtle here. I am totally aware of the "in your face" vividness of these shots with great depth of field, sharp focus and saturated colors, but this is what it feels like to me in the Sonoran desert. I am trying to capture and re-create the enhanced sensory perception of the desert.
