Haven't post much lately due to work and travel but definitely enjoying all the great images.
Harry I'm enjoying your Cuba picks makes me want to go back there. I also need to post some more of my images my trip to Cuba in June.
Here are some with the A7RII and the 85 GM from a recent shoot.
I haven't use this lens much lately, except on film. Still, I'm finding old images from it that I hadn't shared. It's a superb lens, if you find yourselves with a good multi-coated copy.

Excellent work, Joshua. One (albeit expensive) solution to this problem would be Sony finally bringing a fast 135 prime for e-mount to the market .
Thank you, Chris! Yes, that's likely to happen but I got a hunch that it would be an f/2.0, if not slower, leaving the existing 135mm with its f/1.8 aperture still as the "king" with respect to the rendition of the bokeh.
On the other hand, the 70-200mm is no slouch either like shown below.

Mike, which lens are you talking? Thanks.

Oops! Sorry, Manuel!
This is an Olympus OM 24mm f/2.8 It's a great lens that had consistency issues in quality control. Some people have super sharp contrasty copies. Other people have less than steller copies.
We've had a lot of cold mornings lately (~ -5-10 F, -20-24 C), which means we get a lot of sea smoke. Makes for dramatic sunrises! Snapped this one after dropping my son off at school.
Wow -- just bought a nice used copy of a7R2 from FMer, Daniel Levy, and I've got to say that the holidays came early for me, and I'm in love.
Besides its many improvements, especially using the MC-11 (compared to its sluggishness on the a7R), this body has rejuvenated my whole EF lens collection, especially the older versions. Today I took out the 17-35/2.8L and the 24-70/2.8L to check them out, and I've got to say this example of the 17-35 is better than anything I ever got close to with the 5D, which was the top Canon body I ever used this one for assignments. The a7R2 really breathed more life into it than the a7R, and not just MP. (LRCC is another major contributor to the IQ and distortion corrections.)
I know most on this forum already know this, and I never doubted it, but it's nice to have the opportunity to see the results first hand with lenses I've not often seen on the newer Sony.
