Good morning.
Because you have asked for feedback, I will offer some:
first of all, I appreciate how you set up the lighting with the umbrella and the flashes and the neutral density filter because the lighting is spot on in both of these images.
However, in the first image the mountain range in the background which is purposely out of focus has an exaggerated chromatic aberration above, which cuts right through the neck line of your beautiful subject and is a bit distracting.
In the second image, again, the lighting is wonderful and there are two beautiful subjects. However, because of the way you've taken the picture the perspective of the young man on the right side of the image already being a larger human than the beautiful girl on the left side of the image makes it look as if he is 10 times bigger, or that she is a doll sitting on his lap.
So, the lighting is wonderful and your subjects are handsome and beautiful. My critique is with the out of focus mountain range through the neck of the girl in the first image and the angle at which you took the second image.
Again, I only offer this critique because you asked.
Thank you for telling us about your lighting set up as it worked very well.
Thanks for the feedback Greg. This is why I love FM! I'll try and post a few more from the shoot in the Sony forum. I forgot this thread should now be reserved for A7 cameras with alternate lenses.

Cheers to you, Dan
i appreciate your reply
Have a wonderful day
It happens quite seldom that I come across a very special lens like the Minolta MD Rokkor 85/2.0 49mm,I acquired yesterday.This compact,solid glass is truly outstanding.Sharp across the A7's frame at f2.0,very contrasty stopped down 1 f stop.Archetypal,beautiful Minolta colours and buttery smooth oof blurr.Easily creates the 3D effect wide open.The best 85mm Minolta MD lens and one of the best 85mm lenses I've ever had.
I'm finding that my A7 is producing really bright vivid colours. Too vivid in terms of reds, magenta, and purples. This is in raw and is quite annoying to correct.
Mike,
Try Photoninja instead of Adobe raw or Lightroom. I find it's got a much more pleasant color profile for the A7. Also, there is a huelight profile for Adobe that works better.

Thanks, but Lightroom is bought and paid for. Can't see myself switching, though I will have a play.
I've noticed an issue at home in the UK, perhaps it's just something about the sun the middle east that helps to over saturate the reds in particular.
I'm using the Huelight profiles quite a bit. Not always, I usually just pick whichever between it and the Adobe Standard I like best. But it's nice to have that option.
OK, I got out for a bit today with my new FE 16-35 on the A7. I mostly got this for vacations, where I'm less likely to want to change lenses a lot and AF might be handy. It's very nice. Bulky compared to rangefinder lenses for sure, but not that heavy. It's much less bulky than the ZA 24/2 and LA-EA2 I used to have.
I did get some corner vignetting - a small amount of the frame, but quite dark and noticeable - when using a 72mm CPL. All of these are taken w/ the CPL on the lens.
I have a terrier, but she's too hyperactive when outside (thinks she's a Bloodhound or Basset hound or Siberian Husky...lots of sniffing and barking and pulling) to get a nice shot like your captures.
