Joshua - Bravo on this whole sesries.
Me, I've been in the Netherlands this week for work. I've had some opportunity to get out take some pics but processing has been mostly limited to my iPad via LR Mobile. I finally got things synced with my desktop and using remote software, am able to run my resizing droplets and post here. It works quite well but not quite as well as sitting in front of my 27" monitor.
Scenes from Amsterdam:
1) Loxia 21/2.8
2) 24-70/2.8 GM
3) Laowa 12/2.8
Thank you, Bob! Awesome images from Amsterdam! I will be there and taking similar images in a month from today.

it was Philip's review and Helena's pics that drew me to it. I am over the moon, it is a cracking lens and I've yet to be able to find the field curvature in my shots. I'm sure it's there occasionally - it's effect is just irrelevant (or non-existent) in most of my shots (mostly over 10m and shot at between f4 and f11, though at f1.7, used close up with the VME adapter, it's also very nice)
Reason I ask is I currently own the FE 35 2.8 and VM 35 1.4 and hoping to replace both with the 1.7.
Phillip said the field curvature is a real issue when it is focused to about 1.5-4m and when the aperture is at f/1.7 or close, and that worries me because that's closeup -> environmental/indoor lowlight portrait distance, and I can see myself using it quite a bit there.....so if that's the affected zone then it's probably no use for me.....
We had a fiery sky this morning. Captured with the Batis 18. This park is 5 minutes from my house. I rushed over as soon as I saw color in the sky. A minute after I captured my images, the color was gone.

At Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Got safely to the Great Damp PNW! Went out yesterday for first shots of the wet winter woods close by, shooting the Lensbaby 2.0 (f/8 aperture) and then reshot with 50L wide open many of the same subjects. Might end up an interesting comparison, when I eventually get them processed.
Until then, I'll be watching all the great shots posted here on FM!

Full-stop-boring.
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. ...Show more →
Another image of a male resplendent quetzal from Costa Rica - I posted a similar before but not the same image. This colorful bird is quite hard to see/photograph and I was fortunate to do so on the last day before going to the airport. It was perching only for seconds on that branch. Although it moved around in search of berries but that was the only opportunity for me to capture that bird showing its red breast plumage and I fired off several shots as it looked around showing both sides of his profile .
Some more skiing photos with A7II and CV Ultron 35/1.7 VM.
Helena, thank you very much! Yours are jaw dropping gorgeous . I will be in Lapland in 5 weeks. I hope I could take winterscape images close to yours in quality while there.
