I was on a trip for the last two weeks and I missed tons of great images here.
Early on the second day of the trip, I made a boo boo and my A7r dropped from about 2 feet on a hard floor. The EVF went out right away but the rest of the camera was still working. So, kept on using the camera and at the end of the day, it displayed an error and it stopped working. When I got back to the room I fiddled with it, I removed the lens and I noticed the that shutter got stuck in the closed position. So, I took the battery out and reinserted it, I turned the camera back on and the shutter went back up and the camera worked again. I used the camera on the following day and it worked fine until the end of the day when it displayed the same error. Now, no matter what I did, the shutter remained in the closed position. Since I wanted to travel light, the A7r was the only camera I had with me. This is the first time that I went on a trip without any backup and the last . Oh, well. So, I had to use my wife's P&S camera for the remaining 9 days. Ouch... .
I just shipped it to the repair center in Laredo. We will see how this pans out.
Here are images I took of the interior of the Church of Our Savior of Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg, Russia before my A7r succumbed.
Paul,
I know you have bought and sold several copies of the C/Y 100.IMO you should always have a copy of this lens.Its obvious that you like this focal length and the rendering of this particular lens.You make it sing.Really like the motorcycle shot.

I like it too, but the CA kills it. I used to love the Zeiss 100 MP and after hours of fixing the ugly cyan/magenta
halos, I started to seriously dislike it...
These shots were all taken with an A7r and a CV 50 F/1.1 Nocton mounted on a Hawks adapter. The first three shots are wide open. The two macro shots are stopped down.

Arh .. Phillip you're killing me. I wasn't even thinking about a 300mm L but now I want one. You've already bumped the Tokina 90 to almost the top
thats one of those images were I am scrolling from bottom to top and know how took it before reading the username
I have some new toys for reviewing: an adapter which works somewhat similar to the Hawks adapter and is great for using enlarger lenses which are pretty neat in some cases and super small.

Thank you for your kind words.
You're right....I love this lens as well as the focal length.
I'll try my best to keep the lens this time...
