Lightpainting with the 85mm C/Y Sonnar
Very nice. Would you agree that the 85mm C/Y Sonnar is really a top lens even by today's standards?
Kierzkow
Thanks. Both the 85mm and 100/3.5 are excellent and offer a lot once combined with the helicoid for closer focusing (although I didn't use it in those shots). Of course they don't have AF or a wider aperture of the GM/Batis.

Hi Mike,
I am now tempted to get C/Y 100/3.5 as well. What is your recommendation for a good helicoid.
Thank you.

I got one of these, cheaper than the Kipon. I 1st tried a different brand which vignetted very slightly, then got a Kipon, then DavidBM tried this one. I keep them dedicated to the lens No problem with vignetting.

Looking across Heart Lake (Lake owned by the Adirondack Mountain Club) with moon visible near top of the image
Tripod mounted A7r and Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens with Singh-Ray Lighter Brighter Color Combo Polarizing filter (Warm Polarizing filter with Color Intensifier)
ISO 100, f8, 1/25 second
Exposure corrected by -0.12 Stops; processed in LR6

At Heart Lake/Adirondack Mountain Club Lodge, Lake Placid, NY
All shot with the C/Y35-70/3.4. Tried writing lens info to EXIF with Lens Tagger but I couldn't get it to work this time. Every once in a while this happens and I don't know why. I apply Lens Tagger several times but it doesn't change EXIF. Then I move along to another image and it works fine. Any ideas?
