Those Loxia 85 shots are very impressive René. Unfortunately I couldn't possibly justify buying the lens myself having just bought the Loxia 21...........unless......possibly.....
Two more shots from the top of the Quantock Hills, this time with the Loxia 50 (on A7RII)

... This is Yu Yuan (Yu Gardens) one of Shanghai's star attractions that foreigners love so much (China's best dumplings - Nanxiang dumplings - can be found here). I pop down there from time to time just for the fun of it and to gorge on the pork & crab roe dumplings
Snail from couple weeks ago in Panama. While shooting this snail (like a dummy) I laid down on the forest floor where I was consequently bitten by an unknown undetermined assailant--most likely a spider. Two days later and for almost four weeks I had a huge eschar oozing and cracking to remind me of my trip
Ha ha - exacty. And yes that is the famous Nan XIang restaurant. US Presidents have visited here before - that zigzag pathway across the pond to the tea house is iconic. Very nice shots ! Avoid weekends and times when the tourist buses are likely to drop off their contents !

A7II, CV 50/1.5 VM (first three) and CV 35/1.7 VM.
Btw. what is causing the flare in the CV 35 photos (the vertical one below the sun)? I don't remember seeing that in my CV 50 photos from last winter when I took many similar photos with that lens.
I meant to post this back then shortly after the trip in July but ended up not doing it for whatever reasons. Now, it is a cross post at another thread now... sorry .
