Werner, I have been following your shots since Assisi trip. Absolutely breathtaking shots; and I am not sure how you managed to get all the tourist out of your way (I had few dozens of heads in the front of my lens for a few hours of being there)? Splendid sets, love it!
There are some pretty nice shots on this thread. I thought I'd add one of mine from this morning. I just picked up a a7r and a Metabones IV adapter for my Canon lenses. Pretty much what I expected. Auto focus is pretty much useless on moving objects, but works ok on stationary ones. Manual focus is just fine with me. Bought the battery grip, 4 batteries, a Watson duel battery charger, RRS plate for the bottom of the battery charger, and a Hejnar L bracket with a spacer that Fred had mentioned to put on the lens adapter. All fit nicely together on a tripod.
Hummingbird from this morning in the backyard. 1/250s, f/4, ISO auto (160) with a Canon 600mm f/4 lens. Canon 580 ex ii mounted on a flash bracket with a Better Beamer attached. No noise reduction, highlights recaptured in Lightroom, and a little clean-up and sharpening in PS. Cropped at >100%. Just for fun.

A7 + Sonnar 135/3.5 Zeiss from Jena - not bad,really.
Peire, I always wanted to ask why you have such a big copyright on your images. Have you had problems with iamge theft? I generally like your images, but the rather small size and the quite distracting copyright usually stops me from thinking: Hey, I enjoyed that! which is my criterion for giving a like.
Of course it is totally up to you to do with your images as you please, but I wanted to give my perspective on it.
At my evening stroll I had some really nice light today(a little haze softened the warm sunlight) and I rediscovered my Minolta MC 2/28 which I have never actually used because there was some fungus inside it, when I got it ages ago. Well it does not seem to affect the image quality too much.
