Love the light highlighting her hair.Sorry for the delay in responding, Stephen, I left shortly after posting that image. Well, we told her not to eat the apple as we all know what happened to Eve back then . Thank you for your kind words.

Here is another image from the same Half Dome but the following morning and captured with the same lightest and smallest lens in the FE lineup....Show more →
The rendering from the 35 2.8 in this photograph is beautiful, a tribute to both the lens and the photographer. When I first saw it, I thought the rendering was from the 24-70 GM. It may be that the depth and layers helps the lens to look good here. What do you think, Joshua?
Contax (CY) 35-70/3.4. #1 this is the end of the scarifying and notorious 'no mistake' zone, about 40kms long. At least if you go over the edge here it is a quick finish to things, rather than a lengthy tumble. No one wears seat belts because you may do better to bail out if you are quick enough. The BRO (Border Roads Organisation) has done a great job of this section, bitumen and safety barriers. They employ 200,000 people to work on the roads, no half measures. #2 same river 80kms upvalley.
Wow! Lots of great stuff, here! Bob, Stephen, Joshua, Peter among others. And earlier on, Werner, Ronny, René... But, this morning, the one that blew me away is Danny's pine picture. Wow!
Welcome to the forum! What a wonderful 1st set of images to present to us. I visited your Flickr account and see that you have a fantastic collection started there.
The Sony GM 70-200 f2.8 at 200mm with the a9. You'll see quite a lot of this camera-lens combo from me Even cut to a MB the image is huge, but I wanted to show the detail that I was afraid to lose when switching from the a7rii. It also handles light well given that the Tanzanian sun can be unforgiving. I want to note that the softening on the mother's face and baby's flank is only present in the downscaled file, and the softness in the foreground is intentional.
Overall I am as happy with this lens as with most of my primes.
Today I've tried a Pentacon AV 100mm f2.8 projection lens which I've bought for less then EUR 20 a few days ago. It is a quite soft 'character lens' with bubble bokeh (the reason why I bought it). But what really surprised me is the very nice colour rendering with almost complete absence of lateral and longitudinal CAs.
All with A7 wide open (all without any CA correction, #3 is a crop).
