Having been away since Friday I've missed a few pages ! I'll catch up tonight
A long weekend trip with the guys, primarily for birding but they indulged me for a few A7 shots here and there
First 500kms to Huangshan Mtn (absolutely drenched by an extended thunderstorm which rained off our visit whilst on the mountain, and stopped the cable cars for 2 hours, saw my D800E and one friend's 1D Mk IV survive in the mini-waterfall we were under but my other friend's 6D died an unnatural death
Visibility was down to 20-50m due to clouds and the storm so we departed and drove further South to the county (and town) of Wu Yuan in Jiangxi Province - this area is a dream for landscapers and lovers of ancient villages and towns, as well as birders. Weather was much better here !
Here are a few from the other day both with A7 / Takumar 200 I was surprised that the fence shot was over 31 MEG Fence in a Field by jmschemel, on Flickr
Sheesh, lots of great stuff. Gonna have to step up my game! Alas, I just started my 2nd college class so very little time on my hands. You guys still take random photos of crap sitting on one's desk?
Edit - here we go! I have no idea which lens, I think the Pentax 50mm.

Great Shots everyone....mostly a lurker here....trying to soak up as much info as possible on different lenses with the A7/R. Just got mine (A7) recently... still learning the "in's and out's".
Greggf......question for you. I have really enjoyed your shots with the CY 35-70/f3.4, enough so that I am on the lookout for one myself. I do, however, already have the Minolta MD 35-70/f3.4 Macro, and have used it a lot with my NEX6. I notice that you recently procured the Minolta lens....so..... having the CY already, why did you decide to pick up the MD? And now that you have both, which one do you prefer and why? Sorry, I guess that's a couple of questions
A few shots from a dinner party for my wife bday party tonight from one of our fav Italian Restaurants in Santa Cruz, called "Cafe Mare"...
All taken with CV 35 1.7 Ultron LTM ..mostly wide open, and pretty much SOOC...This lens has a ton of character, and I love it for these kinds of shots...
