China is gearing up for the Chinese New Year. Lvijiazui (Shanghai) is looking at her best too. 4 shot pano with A7rii & Loxia 21mm. The detail full size on a 27" iMac is mindblowing. Think I may have to print this one just for the detail !
You can get a bit depressive as a photographer these days over here in Germany.. Short days, extremely odd light and overcast sky... Nevertheless some impressions from the forest:
Nothing compared to last posts by Fred... only some more samples to help Ronny in the choice of the telephoto zoom
Zeiss 100-300 @ Tunnel View (Yosemite):
Wow, this page is off to a great start! Rol-and, Ronny, Werner, Kevin, Ole, Jannik, Mark, Rene, Peter, Manuel and Jim, your images make mine look shabby... although to a certain degree, it was done deliberately so .

Thanks for pointing this out! Soooooo many great photographs! I'm glad you saved me the trouble of writing the photographer's names all down.
And, of course, your work is fantastic (self-deprecating humor included at no additional charge)!
I finally decided to take this lens with me to try for more tight shots. Ultimately, as I packed, I couldn't stop thinking about playing around with it. So it comes.
I'm liking the color and contrast quite a lot. It's a bit tricky to focus (focus ring is sooo light turning), but when it gets it, it gets is done. I'm reevaluating its use wide open -- seems better the more I use it. LR helps a lot, but I can say that about almost every lens I have.
a7R2, Nikon 300mm f/4.5 @f/4.5, with Sigma MC-11 and N to EOS adapter, LRCC.
My final bag includes a7R, a7r2, EF 50/1.2L, EF 16-35/4L IS, EF 24-105/4L IS, Sony 28/2, Lensbaby 2.0, and Nikon 300/4.5 IF ED. Really, too many lenses, but something for any whim. Taking a tripod too, just in case.
I'll be checking in via smartphone to keep up on the forum.

Fantastic Kevin! You are so lucky to live there. I travel to Shanghai a couple of times per year, and its one of my favourite cities in the world.
Have a great Chinese New Year, or more precisely 恭禧发财
Thank you Ole ! I've been admiring your 'Pink Skies' series too, gorgeous pastels.
Shanghai is simply an amazing city that is still changing and growing as fast today as when I arrived 20 years ago. Only it's grown from 18M to 25m people in that time ! It's really got everything from the ancient to the ultra modern and is a really cool place to live. I've loved my time here.
Xin Nian Kuai La, Gong Xi Fa Cai to you too for this Year of the Rooster !
now it was much easier !!
