been too busy to shoot much or process much lately, but i did finally get a contax g 90 yesterday, so here's a couple shots around the yard with it wide open:
Ha. Nice shots. I know exactly where those were taken from .. the cruise ship jetty in TST. Just processed a couple of my own (not A7).
Working my way from both the front and back of this humongous thread to ready myself for the A7 I'll buy next week. Looking for lenses I like the rendering of. Some beautiful work in here. Excited to be buying a new camera again !

Peire, and Shuko...love the pics with the SSC lenses! Peire..really like the 2.5/135 shots...wow! And that 55 1.2 looks incredible, too!

Thank you.The 135/2.5 was my biggest surprize.I didn't expect that good performance from an SC lens.The 55/1.2 - I fell in love soon after I got it.

Samuli, your images are always very nice! I love your landscapes, but I also like your forest shots very much!
Thanks! Your G28 corners look much better than mine - not suitable for landscapes, but rendering is really nice on close-ups and/or in square format.
Bought the Summilux-M 50mm (latest optical version, 2nd latest mechanics = no inbuild hood) in hope of better boke, but otherwise same lovely rendering and colors as Summilux-R 50mm. Haven't yet shoot enough to decide is it better, or just the same. Most of the forest photos seem to indicate that closing down to f/4 or even f/5.6 is needed to gain boke quality I wish for (available in Zeiss Planars @ f/2.5-2.8).
Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 @ f/4, 1/60s, Sony A7 @ ISO 100, Olympus Polarizer (Linear) 49mm (freely inside the hood should get Heliopan 39mm next week)
Also the school for photographs who try handheld manual focus shots with 36 Mpx FF, interior dim light, 200mm telephoto lens, with an hyper fast sport as main subject .
The fact is that I forgot my 24mm, and even I didn't realized that my best lens for this specific place was the FE 35 AF native Zeiss... Sport telephoto, ok, but if you are not a Jedi, imho I guess that Image stabilization and 2.8 aperture are welcome, obviously inside and without strong lights or flashes)

Actually, the image I posted a couple of pages back is from a G21, but the corners are just mush. The center, maybe 3/4 of the image is very nice. I haven't used my G28 much. I'll have to try!
Lots of great images in this thread. Getting tired of waiting for Canon to come out with a competitor to the Nikon D800...looks like there might be an A7r in my near future.
2 shots just before sunset on a goat farm My fav 3D combo A7r + Canon FD 85/1.2 L... PP with Velvia 50 profile which perfectly suits for this kind of images.
These are some photos that I took last evening of some wildflowers taken along Jordan Creek, near the ford, Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA. Images taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens and processed in LR5.4.
