A7rII + Batis 18mm f/2.8
Deep in the Zillertal in Austria, a few miles from the Italian border. A place called Sundergrund. I feel spoiled to have all this just 2 hours away.

Sorry, been busy with work again. Had a lot of catching up to do; this thread never seems to slow down (not that I'm complaining, there is so much inspiration to be found on every page).
Helena: Those are wonderful bokeh balls. Great use of lightning in those shots.
Werner: Those two reflected sunstars are a really nice touch. Also, you're making excellent use of the big zoom.
Ronny: As I already mentioned elsewhere, those frog macros are just stunning.
Joshua: Beautiful hummer shot on the previous page. I haven't had the chance to try the 70-300G on BIF's.
Bob: Voigtlander's American distributor should really give you at least sample of their next wide angle lens to test for free for a few weeks. Those shots with the 10mm are excellent.
Greggf: Beautiful bokeh in the woods.
Cherry blossoms taken one month ago.

Helena...nice set!
Chris88...thank you for the kind words!
I'm really enjoying my new Japanese Summilux. Really a fantastic lens, especially for the price! For a 60 yr old lens, it does almost everything right!! And stopped down, has a pretty modern look, too, with some very nice sunstars, as well!

Nice one Joshua. Capturing Hummers takes a lot of time and effort.
Thank you very much and yes, you got that right, Mike!

Yay! I found another semi decent image of the more colorful hummingbird from this morning. Nothing to write home about but it was teally tough to take pictures of these little suckers. They moved around so fast and could not hover still for just a second, it seems.Thank you very much and yes, you got that right, Mike!

Are you still noticing that little corner distortion that you originally pointed out? ~Chris

i've been gone for a couple of wks - can remind me what i/you/we were talking about?
my only recollection about comments i may have made about corner distortion was related to landscape resolution comparisons with Lox21 - where i wondered whether any perceived lower resolution of the B18 may be due to higher measured distortion and possible software corrections as well.
i don't recall having any major issues with actual distortion in the corners, however - especially in scenes like above where there are shapes/arcs all over the place and the subject is centrally located.
btw - with some of the first city scenes i posted, i did not have the software_distortion_correction applied (it was straight out of camera) and so those shots were worst_case examples (esp b/c there were a lot of very straight lines to observe any distortion).

It was a shot you took downtown of some skyscrapers, you pointed out the upper-right corner where there was a little "outward wonky thing" going on (my words there). Someone else in a another thread noted the same, he was an architectural shooter. BTW, totally agree with you AF comment, my old eyes and 18's shot wide open do understand that point implicitly (especially shooting close subjects)!

i should go back at some point and re-process those cityscape images with distortion_correction turned on and see how much it cleans up. looking at the shot above, the columns extending down into the corner seem straight enough to me (now that i have distortion_correctoin ON).

I've been playing with some changes to my Infrared workflow and working with PS droplets to automate the process. With an import preset followed by external editing to a channel swap/image adjustment droplet, I can cut my processing time significantly.
These are all with the Voigtlander 15/4.5 III

Bob, really impressed by your last posts with Infrared captures 
Werner, your research and experimentation seems endless
Philippe, definitively we have to call you Mr. Otus
Joshua, thanks for the info about Sigma adapter... was a question to all but I was pretty sure you had already tried
