Thank you, Ronny! Yes, I agree with you, the 135mm lens is a gem alright.

Thanks Joshua, that's what I thought it was. Absolutely no objection to your comment on wife & daughter - quite the opposite, a fine compliment so Thank You
Here is another image from the last photoshoot. As good as the 135mm f/1.8 is, the 70-200mm GM is no slouch either.
I think someone else answered a ways down, but it's the lowly Sony FE 50/1.8. I don't really need quick AF (prefer MF most of the time) and find I do really like it's rendering.
Killer car shots btw. The C/Y 35/1.4 has been a dream lens of mine for a while. You're not helping the situation!

What lens would that be? Sry if I missed something. I like the images and processing too.
Some of the shots with the C/Y 35-70 reminded me of these. Taken back in March, A7II, C/Y 35-70 on a Kipon adapter with B&W 10 Stop ND Filter at Yates Mill Pond in North Carolina.
On the last two, you can still see remnants of flare that took me way too much work to clean up. Turns out it was a light leak from the lens release on the Kipon adapter with this lens. It now gets gaffers tape for long exposures.
I haven't had much time to do photography recently, and only occasionally get to view this thread -- the images continue to be as stunning as they always have been.
This was taken from the airport train going into Denver. I like beauty of the vastness and starkness of the area.
A7RII Minolta MD 35-70/3.5
Old Canon zooms are really not bad.Here are some pictures of puppets and decorations made of pumpkins,taken during annual pumpkin festiwal.All with the A72 handheld,(thank you Holy Mzimu for the image stabilization,especially at 300mm f5.6!),and through the PITAfull somehow,but still usefull and cheap FOTGA EF to Sony E AF adapter (the 9xmore expensive Metabones MK3 is only more snug,but AF is slower and some third party lenses refuse to autofocus with it).

Some night shots from the last weekend in London.
First with A7 and Contax Vario-Sonnar 35-70mm f3.4 @ f8 and 50mm.
Second with A7 and Contax Sonnar 100mm f3.5 @ f5.6.
It was a PITA to compensate for the sensor reflections in the first shot and I wonder how the pictures would look like if I had taken them with the A7II (A7rII is out of my price range).
Two test shots with the new ZF Planar 50mm F1.4.
Shot with the TAP, HH, with ambient light.
I was cautioned that it's not very sharp wide open and close up, and it's not. But some of that can be addressed in post if desired, and it has a very interesting bokeh.
