Multiple shots (at different depths/the bierd's nest was 2 inches deep) Pixel Shifted (and yes Sony pixel shift works with flash) then stacked in Zerene Stacker. Each of the TIFFS were 241 mb's in size.
Also, Sony pixel shift does work with the flash firing with each of the 4 individual shots.
Here's the larger version where you can click zoom in-

Some early morning scenes from Cleveland. Both handheld. Love the A7rIII and it's low light ability.

Samuli, so good to see more of your remarkable pictures. My favorites are the thrid and the last two. Though I must say I am quite surprised to see you interested in the CV 40 and not the 65. I would have thought exactly the opposite, as you dislike lenses with weaknesses, and the 40 is not without them....
Thanks Philippe!
Most of the "high iq lenses by measurable factors" tend to either very boring or then they suffer from suboptimization. To me the CV 65 is good example how to fail in most important categories contributing to image quality for me:
1) boke contrast is very high compared to focus plane contrast (curse of almost all high performance modern lenses)
2) DOF-boke transitions do not generally please my eye
3) boke has higher tendency to show rough & ugly characteristics
Based on what I have seen this far CV 40 also suffers from 2) and 3), and I could not see myself shooting CV 40 wide open, but boke tends to look pretty OKish when closed down to ~f/2-2.5. I now shoot with ZM 2/35, and it becomes super good f/3.2-3.5, so this would be 1 stop "better" on subject isolation; is 1 stop worth 1000EUR is then completely another topic? I also have the Zony 1.4/35, but as far as I see it's not even close to either one of ZM 2/35 or CV 40 on rendering style, even it's very good already ~f/1.7, there just is not same kind of "pop" or whatever you want to call it. Luckily we are out of stock so I have time to see lots of more samples before I need to make purchase decision for CV 40.
Generally all lenses I end up liking the best are crappy wide open (but extreme high likelyhood that Derek likes their rendering style wide open
). When those lenses are closed down to apertures, which smooth out "wide open boke edginess", they deliver the results I prefer. Lenses on this "category" are for example 2/35ZM, Contax G45(and it's "variants" 2/50ZM and Loxia 50), Contax G 28&21 and Planar 1.4/50ZE/ZF/CY.

2 shot pano with A7rii and Batis 85mm. Absolutely pin-sharp but you wouldn't guess it after going through both the SmugMug and FM algorithms !

Had booked a couple of days in London last week primarily to get some night shots, however, my time there coincided with the icy blast from Siberia so plans were changed for me somewhat.
