^ Amazing!
Well, it 'warmed' up to -7F and I decided to go out an capture the winter low sun. By the way, with the new A7rIII, I don't even think about the battery in this cold weather. What a difference.

^ Beautiful Joshua . . . If I did more portrait work, I'd have to pick up either this or the Batis for sure!

Thank you, Bob! I would have picked up the Batis had the price been the way it is now, around $1,500. But now, with adapted lenses being able to get Eye-AF on the A9 and/or A7r III, it makes me less motivated to get that lens. It may have lens CA since it is an APO lens but I prefer the larger aperture for smoother bokeh rendition of the Sigma. In addition, with the Metabones V, I can add either the 1.4X or 2X TC if I need a little bit more reach with that lens. Not for portraits but for something else if push comes to shove in needing more reach.

Coming down from the mountains this morning it became bitter cold. It was about 7 degrees. Up in the mountains when we left it was 40 degrees. Everything was covered in ice.

Beautiful imagery and a house for sale in Mn...I should jump on that. Seriously Bob, Sony has now given a 'cold immunity' to the newest bodies with the larger battery. That wasn't a principle complaint of the a7 series but cold deprivation was certainly in the top 10 of complaints.

Carl Zeiss Sonnar 100/3.5. This is the last in a series posted here this last week from this lens; these were B images from the last 2-3 years trips to Tibet. I've found the Loxia 85mm is not for me, it's a 'perfect' modern realization of the lovely old Sonnar formula, spruced up with APD glass. I've long wondered why the ancient lens delivers such fine portraits while still managing great landscapes. The MTF tells the story as it often does - for the critical low and medium spatial frequencies (10 and 20 lpmm) the two are identical wide open, at f2.4 (Lox) and f3.5 (CZ Sonnar). The CZ lens retains the familiar draw style I value in the 35-70/3.4 - 28/2.8 - 21/2.8, making it a seamless swap in open field images in the harshest light imaginable, which really challenged the Loxia. The older lens is far easier to focus fast on people, maybe because in the days of its manufacture, all MF lenses had to be optimised for snappy focus in OVFs. The S100 also has tremendous separation for a slow lens, it is far easier to PP, and has perfect color tone rendition. It's also made it possible to carry an extra lens, being just 280 grams -vs- 595 grams for the Loxia lens. In no way is this a neg on the Loxia 85mm, which in many ways is a masterpiece of industrial design and will suit many users with different tastes from mine.
Tibetans start out with near-orange skin, which fades with age. They never suffer sunburn.

Thanks and whole heartedly agree. Realized early on (fortunately) that the gear is far less important. A shot of nothing with great microcontrast is still nothing, and a precious moment with an iPhone is still far more valuable. But using something you enjoy using and seeing results from is worth a lot on its own.
Also, love the tonality in that shot! Is that just a deep red filter? Or all in post? Almost looks like an IR sky.

nice pictures, nice lens. but. 95% of the praise belongs to the photographer. i had to learn the best glass in my hands, does not give any masterpieces. I can only speak of me as an amateur. but I still have too many lenses. and it's a lot of fun

Loxia 50 and 35
Both are the sharpest at infinity when reaching the hard stop.
I'm wondering if the true infinity is not past the stop, specially for the 35 which is not very sharp... Is there a way to check that other than removing the mount and play with the shims ?
