It's been hard of late to find time to shoot. I'm in Cleveland and only had time to take this shot out my hotel window. I used an ice bucket as a makeshift tripod.
A7ii, Leitz Elmar M 50/2.8 v1 (circa 1960), ITOOY hood:
All shot wide open, elevated ISO, uncropped, AWB, aperture priority, IBIS enabled, no flash. Light sources were various, mixed, and entirely obnoxious: skylight, halogen, CFL, indirect, twilight. Sony AWB did a pretty good job, but every shot has been rebalanced in post. The Elmar is a classic, but painful in use due to aperture ring rotating with focus. I used magnified view for critical focus: a serious challenge for candids of a 10-year old girl in shopping mode. Optically, the Elmar has great linearity and decent sharpness w/o. I used to think the bokeh was pretty, but nothing touches STF.
The Elmar is collapsible, but I didn't have the guts to see if that feature would wreck my shutter. The lens is entirely free of color shift on the A7ii (unlike the Summicron M 35).
