A7II + Contax G 90mm/2.8 (with the Techart GA3 adapter). With the latest firmware updates and in good light, the AF is fast enough for street photography.
^ I recently acquired a contax g90 and the techart contax af adatper. As compared to the TechartPro adapter, the contax g adapter is quite noisy but it works pretty well.

The TAP works much better than the GA3 for sure. Faster, quieter, more accurate in less than favorable conditions. But the G lenses are simply wonderful. For instance, I don't know that the Elmarit 90mm would be noticeably better than the G 90, which can be had for around $200-$240.

Great image, Dave! I took the exact same lens, among others, and went to the exact same location last week. It looks like you did an overnighter, huh?
Here is another image from Mesquite Dunes in Death Valley before sunrise
Joshua,
We stayed one night out there - wish it was three! What a wild and crazy place!!
Here's another take of White Pocket with CV 12mm and A7r.
EDIT: Oops. I wrongly identified the wrong lens - this was taken with Leica WATE - most likely at 16mm.

Another great image after the sun was down, Dave!
I wanted to stay overnight but couldn't pull if off. So, we just stayed 4 hours there and of course, during the day.... . Luckily, the sky was cooperating that day.
Realized that I hadn't used the CV 35/1.7 VM in a while so I went for a walk yesterday to give it some time on the camera. (The last is a stitch from CV 21/1.8 VM.)
Even though I got down to the river about 14:00 (2PM) I missed the last rays of sun. I forgot that we set the clocks back last weekend losing an hour of daylight in the afternoon.

Awesome shots Musicman. Here is my shot with this amazing lens,.. after great research the only better f/1.2 glass in my opinion is Noct-Nikkor 58/1.2. FD 55/1.2 S.S.C. ASPH has onion rings in bokeh in great contrast areas, Noct has overall better corrected optics so is superb for astrophotography too, the only downside is the 2-3x higher price than FD 55/1.2 ASPH.. After some shots with Canon FD 55 I´am going to sell my Mitakon 50/0.95 v1 (58mm filter thread) Due to higher contrast of FD it´s easier to focus wide open.

EDIT: uploaded second version with better white balance on face.
