16 shots with the smooth reflection app. For the second shot I used the newly acquired ZM 35. Thanks to FM members Bob and Nehemiah for helping out when deciding on this lens!

Danny, what aperture is this beautiful shot? I tried this lens on my A7RII and saw many aberrations. Do you have better results?
I always shoot it at 1.4 for flowers. The aberrations are part of the reason that I like it so much for flower abstracts! I do wish that the point of focus were a bit sharper, but the overall rendering is the most important factor for me.
By the way, Philippe, you might find it interesting that I've tried this lens (and several others) using a Canon 500D dual-element closeup lens instead of an extension tube. I now use the latter when need be. The closeup lens gave good results - too good, in fact, since it "cured" some of the aberrations and lost the qualities that I wanted, making it look as if I'd used it at a smaller aperture!
And now for something completely different....Catalpa tree along St Joseph River, Mishawaka, Indiana.
Infrared (850nm) on converted A7R; Canon 16-35/4 at 16mm. I make an exception to my usual "manual primes only" rule for infrared, since this lens works great with only a mild and diffuse hotspot.

Very nice Philippe ,Werner Joshua,andersd and Daniel
Thank you, Ronny!
With the new FE 12-24mm G lens getting all the attention, the Loxia doesn't get enough love and feeling lonely... . Two images taken with the 21mm at the Getty Center then while waiting for my 12-24mm lens to arrive next week. Actually, this would be a great location to actually put that lens to action although not to test.

Originally, I was using a white reflector and Rachel saw the gold, flip side while the reflector was moved around. She suggested to use the gold side after that. It was actually quite fitting considering the sunset.
Joshua, stunning shot. I love the lighting and really this is what makes the GM 85 so special
