Superb and similar harvested strong light in the latest posts, much inspiring.

One of many ancient brits. Makes one sad they're all gone. Contax 35/1.4 + A7 again, here's one of them three wheelers in action.
To the left you see a couple of Mustangs and behind the Morris you see a rare Corvette from -63 with the unique rear split window. All for the occasional car-connoisseur that happens to walk by :-)

Today I gave the collapsible Leica Elmar 50mm F/2.8 a workout on the A7r. It works great on the NEX 6. Very discouraging on A7r. I threw out all but a few shots. Two problems. The PP is all together different for this lens. None of my Lightroom presets worked in a normal fashion. But the big problem was color smearing in the corners. No fix for this, so I decided to convert a few images to Black and White and see what happened. -- Pleasant surprise.

What a fantastic storm of images coming to this thread!
Here are a few samples from my home turf.
Evening benches...Oak Bay.
(Why do you suppose they named it Oak Bay?)
I was curious to see whether the Sony 24-70 would be any better shooting into the light than the 24-105 Canon with the Flocked Metabones III adapter. My conclusion is that it might be slightly better in suppressing flare but not enough to warrant the addition of this lens to my quiver. I took it back.

At the risk of totally overdoing it.
Here is another Sony Bench shot shooting right into the sun.

Some shots taken with the a7 and Canon 55mm f/1.2 S.C.C. This is THE BEST 50(ish) for the a7, in my humble opinion. It rocks.

Warning - Extreme photochoppery ahead
So I had this great idea to take a tiny model sail boat and stage a "life-sized" photo.
Unfortunately my drive is only about 1/8th my ambition, so it didn't turn out completely as expected, but I was getting there.
How it was done:
First, I took a metal cookie tray with a dark green piece of construction paper in the bottom, to make the water reflect green.
Yongnou flash on camera, another flash on a stand. F/22 on the lens to drown most ambient light. Was shooting the boat using one hand to hold the A7 combo (not light) while another hand was holding a hair dryer to make "waves".
I grew dissatisfied with the background, then noted outside was great.
I then stacked a pet carrier and ice chest on an ironing board, then the cookie tray with water on that (to get the sky as a background).
Again, multiple shots with the A7 flash setup.
Afterward, I combined the "waves" water with the outdoor shot (which was a pure reflection) and blended them.

The one the pirates took

Shot at dinner with my wife at Oskar's, Burleigh Heads. A7r 50 Lux Asph, f/1.4 6400 ISO.
There are so many excellent variety of images! Wilhem, just love the rendering with the Contax 35. Also Jack, you have me seriously revisiting the 50 Lux on the A7r

Thank you Greg Very nicely rendered images!

I rarely take a tripod with me, so all the images are hand held. Normally I try for at least 1/125sec with the 50mm, and 1/60s with the WATE
