Found a willing subject for my first real closeup shots with my new Makro Planar 100/2 ZE mounted on the A7 Classic. I was worried I'd regret parting with my C/Y Planar, but I'm really pleased with this lens so far.

Sorry guys for this post out of thread but I'm really disappointed with Sony Playmemories site: today finally I had some time to play with my camera so I tried to install SR app... three attempts and always no success because "Internal error"
I will try again tomorrow
I had the same problem after many attempts. I just had to make sure my Sony account was correct and my payment details were current, and it worked immediately both via the computer and A7rII. The program will seem to load and hang, but the account details need to be correct.
I have been unable to carve time to shoot much this year but have been happily lurking and drooling over the lovely images that continue to show up at break-neck pace on this thread.
Bob, I really liked the infrared landscapes a couple pages back. Did you have a Sony converted? If so, was it an image stabilzed one (a7ii / a7Rii) Curious to know if that killed the stabilization and which conversion you opted for. Looks like the Voigt does not ghost at all.
Here are a few from a trip to Ft. Worth earlier this year that I finally carved out time to process.

Hey Jim! Good to hear from you. I had a Sony A6000 converted so it wasn't image stabilized. Yeah, I've been really enjoying some Voigts of late.
Tonight, I was out biking and came upon a local classic car show at a drive-in burger joint. Glad I had my A6300 and Voigtlander 10/5.6. I can't wait to try this lens on my full frame for something like this.
Found this image as I was culling my Lightroom catalog. I had passed on it a few times but kept it. Sometimes an image just has to sit on the shelf for a while until I get a creative spark.
Loxia 21 in strong wind
I don't think I have ever seen water as blue as this.
Photo taken the evening of March 26, 2016 about 29 minutes before sunset at the top of the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7rM V3 and my Leica R 50mm f2 Summicron lens, ISO 100, lens set to f11 for 1/30 second. Exposure corrected by + 0.24 Stops and processed in LR6.

PersonCyborg, now that's what I call 3D pop.

Thanks, robgo2. I think the Sony A7r2 and the Loxia 50 is a very good combo. I really like the punch and colours that this combo produces. I think this is one of my favorite lenses.
I really liked the fox photos too, PersonCyborg! It's amazing how easily foxes get used to people.
In February I discovered a path by the river not far form home and it has become a favorite area for a bicycle ride. Summer is probably not very interesting, but fall should be nice. A7 and CV 50/1.5 VM.
Recently I went all in with Contax lenses: got quite a few and while maybe not as sharp or without as much contrast as recent Sony FE, Loxia or Batis lenses, they are plenty of fun to shoot with. Here is few:
