So my mother-in-law wanted an environmental family portrait for a project I volunteered myself for.
I drove to a spot I had scouted earlier that day and set up my tripod and remote software. Unfortunately, I forgot to set image quality to RAW, so it was JPEG only. Of course I didn't realize this until after the shoot.
I was disappointed, since I'm typically a RAW guy, but we got back home and I opened it up on the PC and was pleased to say that at ISO 100 at least, the image worked fine and was surprisingly detailed at 1:1. A few tweaks and it was ready
(Disclaimer - I'm not a portrait guy and I forget to smile all the time)

Lucy and her best friend.
This is one of the sweetest birds I have met. She is 23 years old and just wanted attention and to be petted. FE 24-70. I used existing light and auto ISO to avoid startling the bird. Post in LR 5.5
Thanks for looking,
Mark

Awesome shots of fireworks, Bob!
Ronny...your macros never cease to amaze me!!!
Switching over to the C/Y Zeiss Distagon 28mm F/2.8 This is a 28mm lens that works very well on the A7r
couldn't agree more, Ebookman...love mine, too! In fact, here are my very first attempts at shooting fireworks with the A7 and C/Y 28 2.8, myself!

^ I typically don't dig B&W fireworks (I mean, what's the point?) but I like that last one - the reflections on the faces (or silhouette rim lighting, whatever) make it

Distagon 21/1.8 ZE confirmed it's strong position on the A7 being still the best wa lens that I have.Very sharp and very contrasty.Some negligible corner smearnig visible at f2.8.

Distagon 28/2 ZE is a very good lens,but not up to the 21/2.8.It could have been better if the field curvature wasn't that pronounced.But stop it down to f5.6 and it turns up excellent.Corner smearing at f5.6 is acceptable,but 21/2.8 has the same amount of it only at f2.8.
28/2 at f5.6.BTW:this old carriage served the famous Orient Express before the WWII.

Planar 50/1.4 ZE at f1.4 - well,just a great lens.Here it captured the old steam engine from 1890.

Makro Planar 100/2 - superb lens as we all know.Pictured the german steam engine from the WWII.

I appreciate the lens analysis.

Thanks Manuel. I used the Zeiss 21/2.8 Distagon with a Metabones EF-NEX adapter (ver. III). I love that lens . . .

A7 w/35 2.8 FE - This is one awesome lens, if you can find one w/o the de-centering issue, third one is a charm
