Catching up with this thread always is a challenge. High speed and high quality. Needless to say, I used a lot of likes.
Bob: Congrats on the Lox 35. Getting a lens from Fred at least ensures that it has to be one of the best copies available .
Joshua: Those geese "flock" shots are very impressive, up and personal, so to stay.
Samuli: A comment on some pictures you posted a few weeks ago, if I may: For somebody who clearly is not a big fan of the Sony 50 1.4, you took and posted some pretty nice shots with that lens.
Helena: Wonderful soft winter lightning in that series on the previous page.
Werner: You could make a nice exhibition with those impressive Lofoten panoramas.
Ronny: Wonderful shot on the last page. I really like the composition around that river flowing downhill in the center of the frame and those subtle reflections of the setting sun in the water.

@Chris_88@ Thanks. Sorry if I have been misleading, it's the "other" Sony 50mm f/1.4, the SSM = Alpha Mount version. I only have few issues why I'm not fan of FE-mount Sony 50mm f/1.4 (boke foliage rendering & high boke contrast), as those issues would dominate >90% of my images. If I would shoot something on urban environment (=easy boke scenes) I would love to use FE-mount 50mm f/1.4, so nothing against the lens, it's just not suitable for my use.
Enjoying also your photos, great colors, thanks for posting - nice to see them even in photos as suffering from darkness of winter here.

Sorry, my bad, Samuli. I thought you're talking about the e-mount lens. I see now. The old a-mount lens had never really appeared on my radar, because it was one of the last, if not the last lens that Sony newly designed for that mount (instead of merely updating existing designs).
I hear you about the winter. Having lived in a place with plenty of snow for several years, I know how it gets to you at some point. Then again, even in Northern Japan the days are still long, compared to say, Northern Finland. I have been to the Northern part of your beautiful country once and have to say I'm not sure whether I could stay sane with only a few hours of light per day.

Thank you very much, Chris! What a great image of silhouetted sandhill cranes at sunset!
Here is one of the few images taken during a cruise in Asia...
Many thanks for the praise, Joshua.
I really like how you framed the bridge and the setting sun. Great work.
No matter how many times I’ve seen this view, I always get excited to spot Mt Rainier when flying in and out of Seattle.
Last Friday’s sunset cast a perfect golden glow while Rainier was peaking through a bed of inverted clouds.
I couldn't resist capturing this image as we were getting ready to leave after a productive day of shooting around the mud tiles. The clouds caught the last of the warm light from a beautiful sunset.
