Welcome back Charles. I now also added an A7S. Great camera! My favorite of the three models. The silent shutter option and the better AF (the difference in low light is huge) alone make it stand out for me. The files also feel different. Smoother with more natural colors. It even holds this quality throughout the ISO range, very nice.

Thank you Jochen 
The A7s is great, and files are very different. They are as you mentioned a lot smoother, natural and are easily PP'd. The AF is awesome, aside from using a DSLR of course. You can AF is almost total darkness, and I have not had the need to revert to MF, even when using 51200 ISO.
The A7r combined with the WATE is my favourite landscape setup. The only issue is the noisy shutter and delay, and the slower AF, but this is not an issue with the WATE
Some more shots A7s

I am not sure why my photos come out so big on the screen, I am sorry. Sometimes they come out big, sometimes small, seemingly independently from resolution??
Here are a few more from Xinjiang, same setup--A7R + Summilux R 35, 80
These are from the carpet and silk atlas workshops in Khotan. (They do have some industrialized processes--these segments are for tourists, but they are real and stuff is actually made there.)

Went out today with a bag full of Minolta lenses only to find I had forgotten the adapter 
So I had to make do with the Helios 44-2 58mm f/2.

Agnostic-- I kind of like the busy swirly bokeh in the tombstone shot. Seems almost surreal. I have the same lens, but haven't used it much.

Thanks! It has character and some nice pop but don't try shooting it near infinity or expect corner sharpness on the a7.

This is an image from a visit to Holland last month. I posted a few windmill shots previously and I waited until I got back home to process this one from the same location but from the inside and looking through a fairly filthy glass window. I figured since the shot through the glass was not contrasty to begin with and yielded a slight watercolor effect to the image, I processed the image for a more artistic watercolor impression. The lens used was a Nikkor 28mm f/1.8 AF-S G.

I have a noob question, and maybe this isn't the right thread to ask. But, how much time do you guys/gals usually spend post-processing images? I'm sure some photos take much longer than others, but in general? 5 minutes? 10? an hour or two? And how do you know when it's done? I'm still learning the basics of editing and have the adobe CC subscription along with the Nik software package. Seems like I spend a lot of time editing and playing with the tools only to make my pictures look much worse than my initial LR edits.
Sidenote: I think there are mainly 15-20 contributors accounting for the vast majority of the excellent work on display here, so, I'm not sure how broad the audience. Are most of the contributors professional photographers? As a novice photographer, I'm really struggling with composition, figuring out what makes a good picture and "finding the right light". I'm not even sure which type of photography I really enjoy most, I just know a good picture on here when I see it. I can tell I'm getting a lot better than where I was just a few months ago, but I want to get better. Any recommendations? Feel free to PM me, always open to criticism. (I live in a very small town without local photography resources, so, I've mainly been learning from youtube & FM).
