Been away from this thread for a week. Impossible to keep up. Will just comment on Ronny's last shot which is fantastic. Doesn't look very Fisheye-y to me, did you apply corrections to make it rectilinear ?
Recent discussions on the board prompted me to dig out my C/Y 35-70 from the cupboard. Some shots from the theme park. Trying some different ways of processing these.
Almost lost the 50cron the day before. It fell off my little dirt bike on the slick rock trail in a padded bag. I did not realize till I got down to Moab. I turned around, went back, road the trail again, took more shots, could not find it, and near sunset road out. On the fence post next to the little cattle guard to enter slick rock trail, it hung in the bag
Joshua, awesome shots !!!
Jordan, wonderful shots with the GM 24-70
Rene, those B&W compositions are superb!
Bob, love those CY 35-70 shots.
Jack, great series! I feel I have almost visited China on your journey!
Irwin, wonderful street portraits.
Ronnie, outstanding shot !!!
Charlie, excellent shots! The 50 Cron IV is an outstanding lens and it is amazing that is more than 20 years old. It has the Mandler magic and it is probably one of the best 50's out there. The colors, tonality and detail is amazing and it works on the A7rII too. It is smallest and lightest lens in my bag weighing in at 195gms !! Now when I leave with the Loxia 21 I keep the 50 Cron IV in my pocket. No need for bags
Long weekend in Queensland and the rain has set in !
First 3 shots with the FE 35/1.4 celebrating Marisa's birthday last night
Next 2 shots Loxia 21. This is the day time version from the previous night shots.

yesterday was the first real test I've had with the Batis 85 to do candid street portraits, and I'm happy with that lens. It's got enough reach to let me take shots without being noticed, and I like its separation of subject from background. Here are a few walking around the farmers' market. Last one is my husband who detests when I take pictures of him

Superb portraits, like all of them but especially #1,3,8,9. Bravo!
Photo taken the evening of April 16, 2016 at about 40 minutes before sunset, Lock Ridge Park, Alburtis, PA. Image taken with my tripod A7rM V3 and my Zeiss 35mm f1.4 Distagon ZM lens. ISO 100, lens set to probably f11 for 1/100 second. Exposure corrected by +1.07 Stops and processed with CornerFix and Lr6.
A few from a hike yesterday in a local park with several nice waterfalls. I was practicing some focus stacking and used HeliconFocus software to processed the stacks. I'm finding the focus stacking on static landscape scenes can really increase the overall sharpness and DOF with this 42 megapixel sensor. It seems harder to nail an accurate hyperfocal distance shot getting everything in focus from inches away to the far distances with this high megapixel camera. I'm getting pretty fast stacking shots with both manual focus and autofocus. Now if Sony would give us a really nice dedicated joystick or touch screen that would be so much easier!
I used my new 82mm Firecrest IRND ND 1.5 MC filter on the first two and my new Breakthrough 82mm X3 10 Stop ND on the last shot. 82-67 Step up ring for the Batis.
