More of the same Otus 28, since you seem to like it.
Credit, where credit is due! The peacock and the last waterside (was that a river) in B&W are superb, Philippe!

Thank you, Gregg! While I would be proud of "my house" but the truck images are great. Is that not too far away from you? Under less harsh lighting conditions that would make a great object.
Here are two similar images of Lilly but no, not using the Sigma 135mm but using the 85mm GM lens. When I took the first one, I deliberately put the sun just outside the frame but for the next frame/image, I included the low setting Southern California sun in my composition. The GM lens can handle the flare very well, resulting in minimal loss of contrast. I actually like the sun flare but I am still debating, which would be better between the two. Without or with sun in the frame?

Outstanding portrait Joshua! I really enjoy the version with the sun in the frame.
a7R and a7R2, with various lenses, hand held, LRCC.
The last two are variations of the same scene from approximately the same spot, with approx. the same PP, with different body/lens combo. I kept it light -- only took two bodies with battery grips, three lenses: Loxia 21, Loxia 35 and Leica R 60 (one in belt pouch), and two extra batteries in my pocket (didn't need them). I like that system better than a bag slung over my shoulder or around my waist.Minimal lenses changes were possible -- except for borrowing Jerry's 24-70GM and Batis 25!
Superb shot, Bastian! Joshua, Ronny, Werner, Helena, superb, as ever!
Joshua, thanks for the kind words!
Nicola, beautiful shots. Is this Orta, and lago d'Orta?
You have a distinct style yourself that I like a lot.
