I'm cheating a little... these were taken with a NEX6 converted to full spectrum. Lens was a Contax 35mm f/3.5 Tessar ripped from a T4. It is VERY sensitive to sensor stacks, but the naked stack, full spectrum sensor makes it a brilliant little slow 50mm.

Earlier this week I wondered why in earth somebody would shoot landscape @ f/1.4 while reading "Sony Planar T* FE 50/1.4 ZA Rolling Review"-thread. Today I processed few photos from November and noticed that I had accidentally shot one landscape @ f/1.4. It was middle of sensible aperture f/5.6-7.1 landscapes, so I must have focused and forgot to close down. Even it makes no sense at all, modern lenses seem pretty good if somebody would like to do something as crazy as shoot landscapes @ f/1.4...
This is more a typical image from Bosque when the flight action of this sandhill crane was pretty much frozen instead of showing flight movement of the snow goose I posted earlier. Variety is good and I am pleased that I could access my existing image collection for posting from all corners of the world and the IQ seems to be okay to me... but the exif disappeared and I had to add that.

Nice, Robert!
How did you manage to get so close?
You didn't need a crop sensor for that shot!
Kim that wasn't close. This one was close...in s.Africa, nice resort but with outside showers/circular brick walls up to your neck. I'm showering and glance 8 feet away and this lady was just staring at me!
(Sony, but not FF so I won't embed into the thread)
