Awesome Joshua! I presume you are happy with the performance of the WATE on the A7r?
Thanks, Gary! Yes, I am happy and not only with its performance but its small form factor. The portability of that lens is a big plus and of course, the adapter is respectively thinner and lighter, too.

Thanks, Manu! I haven't seen you post on this thread for quite sometime. Did you get a D810?

Another excellent series Joshua! I really want to pack my bag and go there. Was it the WATE for the night shots? Personally, I would expose for more stars in another shot and blend it to balance out the beautiful rock structure. I love them all, regardless.
Thanks, Hiep! Yes, I used the WATE for the last night shot. I like your idea of blending the images. I will have to do that next time.

These are just fantastic! Did you use any filters? I will be visiting Cinque in three weeks as I will be staying in Santa Margherita Ligure.
Thanks! No filter was used in any of the images. Enjoy Cinque Terre! BTW, the sunrise shot in Vernazza is something you shouldn't miss.

Took my a7R along Sunday and did some testing with Metabones IV adapter and Canon 35mm F1.4 lens.
I got the a7R for use with the adapter and Canon TSE lenses for architecture and landscape. This was first chance to test the camera and Metabones adapter. I find that the auto focus is very slow, much faster to manual focus with the focus peaking aid.
Here is one

Although interesting to visit but Capri is photographically only so so during the harsh day light. The blue grotto was too dark and practically impossible to photograph from a rocking small boat. We didn't stay overnight on Capri. Pompeii is absolutely gorgeous but I took too many images there and I haven't completed the PP of the images. I will post some shots from Pompeii later on.
The last spot of my trip to Italy was Cinque Terre and Manarola, is probably the most scenic location for sunset and after sunset shots. Here are a few shots from Manarola, starting...Show more →
Manarola is a wonderful place. I spent several days there in 2011 and have many images from this wonderful location. Nice job capturing the town. I think you stood in the same spot I did! Well done!

If it makes any financial sense at all, I vote for buying it, Helena
We're very tempted. It's not too expensive and so far no other bids, so we can probably get the price down even more. We'll think it over for another week, if possible.
Here are a couple of shots showing the landscape around (not outside the house, but not far away). As you can see it's up on a high plateau, near the tree line. Btw. I enjoyed seeing cows, bulls and half-grown calves grazing together. Not common these days.

Really like all your urbex photos! Well composed and nice tones.
Wish I could go on such a tour some day.

Spent a little time yesterday at Mt Rainier. Kind of late for the wildflowers, but the weather was decent. Here is a shot from the Rokinon (EF mount) on the A7.

Thanks, Bob! This is my second time around there. I like incorporating some kind of framing; and I used the tree in this case. For that purpose, yes, that's the only spot. Luckily, the trail there goes around the tree trunk. So, if there are photographers there blocking one side, people can still walk through by walking around the tree.

Thanks, Chris! Yes, you should visit Italy at least once. Just don't do it in the summer, like I did this time around. But I had to go to a wedding in Italy. So, no control on timing on my part.

Wow, thanks Derek, that is super kind of you! Urban Exploration does give lots of motives for that kind of shooting, and this place in particular really required you to get in close and shoot as wide as possible, so I lucked out a bit. We will see if I can make a repeat this weekend, when I am meeting some other FMers who are coming to Berlin for another UrbEx day, and whatever follows.
Isn't it funny that when you slightly crop a 12mm, you are left with 13-14mm? If only I could get my money and time to work that way...

A7s with Asahi Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 (8 lens elements)
I just got to thinking that this is the only f/1.4 lens I own and it might work well with the low-light A7s. When I got to the office early this morning it had started to rain. Most people had not yet come in and the lights were still off and I noticed the strong light coming through the windows so I took some photos.

I live at and close by several premium german wine regions. Harvest time is almost up, unfortunately the weather is not good for harvesting. Here is a shot of the "Bergstrasse" region, just north of Heidelberg. It's the eastern foothills of the Rhein valley.

I have been following this thread, with so many amazing images just illustrates the success the A7x series are.
I have just arrived back from Spain, and my wife and myself almost exclusively used the A7s and a variety of lenses. We also had the A7r's, but for the most we loved the A7s for street shooting and in particular the "silent shutter" The lenses we took were the FE 35 and FE 55, WATE, 35 Lux FLE, 50 Lux Asph, 50 Nocti f/1.0, 50 Cron DR and 75 Lux.
My wife, Marisa does not like using MF, so she used the FE 55 and the FE 35, but preferred the FE 35 just on the size and weight.
It was great just to have one system, with batteries and chargers to suit. We could easily use different lenses to suit.
