Werner...another very nice high key!
Michiel...I like your C/Y 35-70 shots from recent pages. Didn't realize you had one. A fantastic lens on the A7's!!
Taking mine to Hawaii in a week!!
Ronny...pseudo macro with the 21!! Whoa...pretty cool, and SHARP!

Frezeiss...that second shot is incredible! Nice peek a boo like shot Gregg. Did you have the E55 or hte E60 summilux?
E55...I wish I had the E60...I know someone who does though!!

Using a monopod, along with the wifi app on my iPhone, I was able to easily shoot a lot of pictures from a unique angle during the festival I'm employed as the photographer of.
Typically the stages are about 6 feet high, and then there are monitor wedges in the front, meaning your shooting up peoples noses and cutting off the lower body due to the monitors.
I simply put my OM 21/3.5 on the A7, zone focused it, and then would hold the monopod up fully extended to get the camera to a height more around 10-12 feet. Gave a nice perspective on some of the different music stages and also worked great to capture all the musics. A7 was small and light enough that it was very easy to hold it steady, even at the end of an extended monopod.
The ability to view, and adjust the image on the iPhone screen was of course key for accurate composition and exposures. I've tried in past years just hitting a timer and quickly raising a camera, but the results where typically poor.
Previously a bucket truck, and/or man lift also have been used for some higher perspective images, and while that does give a higher angle, its far more cost prohibitive and much less mobile.
Camera also worked great for more conventional photography, and it was a nice alternative/supplement from my DSLR's during the 3 day festival, but here are just a few "camera on pole" shots as people tended to call them.
Tested A7 with Lee filter today
Seems like I have light leaks at some pictures (Not much but may suspect it at some pictures )
Questions
How do you do ? Do you covering EVF? or do you turn it off (if it is possible?) I had it on all the time ..Can an EVF let in light to ?
Might also be between the lens and adapter?
