Went for a walk with the Leica R 28/2.8 adapted to the Techart Pro Adapter. I love this AF adapter but I love the rendering of this lens even more. The combo is just a pleasure to use.
This is a cross-post from the Sony G Master Image thread.
Here are a few shots (All Handheld) that I've taken with the new FE 70-200 f/2.8 GM and 1.4 x Teleconverter. I've tested it and it is well centered. I'm still testing as I find the time and when the weather cooperates. I will compare it against my FE 70-300 G lens to see if there is a noticeable improvement in image quality. For the difference in cost there better be! I do like the bokeh at f/2.8 and the rendering is similar to the other GM's.

Having just returned from vacation again, I have several pages to catch up with! But for now, a quick grab from South Lake Tahoe.

I took out my seldom used Minolta M-Rokkor 40/2 CLE. For whatever reason, I never liked manual focusing this lens and it's MFD leaves much to be desired. However, the Techart Pro adapter has renewed my interest in this tiny wonderful lens. Just some snaps around the river.

Hi Bob,
I should pull out my tiny Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens snd try it on my A7rM V3 because it will provide much better corners and edges at around f8, Unfortanately I do not have an A7rII to take advantage of the new Tech Art AF adapter.

Took a short walk the other evening to try out my new A7II. Days are getting shorter so we finally have sunsets again. (In July it is relatively bright around the clock - not even a blue hour.) Looking forward to fall and winter light!
