A place called "Colorado provencal" in the south of France. I have never been to Colorado but it do reminds me of southern Utah.

I have been in Indonesia for 2 weeks now and I made it back from a trip to Bromo. It was a tough trip but it was worth the effort. Tomorrow, I will fly to Bali for 5 days and it would be a more relaxing trip.
We had to get up at 1:30AM and started the steep climb. I crawled on all four to get to this viewpoint. It was really a tough climb and to make it even more embarrassing, I fell on the way down with my face first! Luckily, there were bushes along that steep trail that soften the landing. Luckily, our guide and his team were extremely helpful. To make a long story short, I made it back safely, nothing was broken and my camera gear is intact 😀, thankfully.
Mt Bromo, is the open crater, spewing smoke in the upper center, Mt Batok to its right and Mt Semeru in the conical shape in the background. There was really thick fog covering the entire basin all the way to the ridge to the left and right that morning. It looks almost like water, rendering the look of a lake.

First image with Camera A7rIII and MC -11- Canon 24-105Firmware, I have no idea. I bought the adapter on Jan 9th, and I believe I updated the firmware shortly after that. Whatever number that is.
I also have the Metabones gen 5 that I use on my a6300. With that one I can use my crop lenses.
So firmware for the a6300, a7III, the MC-11, and the MB V5, plus the upgrade I had to do for the Sigma dock, too many number to keep straight.
Af was fine with this lens, the Sigma 150-600C, also when using the Canon 24-105, I tried the 70-200f4 non is, that worked,
the Canon 100-400 version 1 with and without a 1.4 tc, Canon 50 f1.8, Canon 50 f2.8 macro, canon 40mm pancake, all worked ok.
The only lens that had trouble was the Canon 28-300. That one did a lot of hunting, but that was indoors and fairly low light.
Now, did I go through some kind of rigorous testing, no. I put the lens on, moved the camera around to different parts of the room, and
half pressed the shutter to see if it would work. All the lenses did pretty well.
The 24-105 was one of the best ones I tried, so I'm surprised that you're having issues with it.
How poor of light are you trying to use it in?
When I was trying things out, turned off the lights, and just used the light from my monitor, yeah, I had issues hitting focus.
But I took a photo of the dog, 1/60, f4 iso12800, at 105mm on a very cloudy day, indoors, it snapped to focus.
Pretty much the same for me, just put lens on and shoot ..No rigorous testing. I haven't checked my firmware, but I was told it had the latest update. I haven't updated my 150-600 in some time with the dock, as all is good, happy with performance. I just haven't had time to test my other lenses as of yet. As for manual focusing with the 24-105 it was near dusk, but like you in good light snapped to focus..
Thanks for responding
After have looked at them again I decided to delete the shots I posted earlier today. Maybe I'll re-post a couple of them later some time.
Here are some from my (50mm) Russian Monocle/Monolens instead, which I have started using again now when the days are getting brighter. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like the soft focus look. Can't wait for nature to wake up, since that is what I think is the best subjects for this lens.
I agree with mitesh, and will add I've really been liking Toshiro's work.
A few from this morning. Helena inspired me to try a Lensbaby Edge. I'm still on the fence, but I do like it's ability to make a dull scene a bit more interesting by forcing a better point of focus. It's a change of pace, both in use and output at any rate.

Thank you, Mathieu! Excellent captures you got there using the Lensbaby Edge. Yup, Helena’s work is inspiring.

Joshua, such an amazing shot. So glad no injuries. Sounds like a very difficult climb and in the dark!
Birdie
Birdie, thank you very much! Yup, I got away with only some minor scratches, fortunately. You know, everything is relative. I wish I would be 40 or so years younger. Then it would be like a walk in the park; well, almost .
