Beautiful photos from Prague Daniel!
Ronny, sorry about the lens mistake! Hope it'll be easy to sell (if that's what you decide to do) and that you find the right one soon.
Two more from my blue hour shoot with the C/Y 18mm/4. Really enjoyed it and will try again soon. The harbor should be interesting this time of day and there are some other areas I'd like to explore too.

Beautiful Helena! I really like the first one. You've made me check into prices on eBay for the 18/4!! I've already stated that wide is not my thing, but you make me want to try!!
I don't think I will...but you never know. And Michiel's shots with the 18/4 in his train station series are pretty awesome too!

Thank you Gregg (or is it Greg?)! It's not a perfect lens, but I feel it's a good compromise and now when I'm starting to learn how to best negate the field curvature with careful placement of focus the results are generally more than good enough for me.

Ronny,
Your 135/2.8 is the late MC with 4/4 optical construction,one big apo lens included.Same as early MD Tele 135/2.8,55mm,but a bit more solid.Those are the best Minolta MD 135/2.8 lenses.
Your 35-70/3.5 is every bit and piece the same very good performer as the one with macro.
Thanks

My MC Tele 135/2.8 4/4 today has been changing topics from angels
to rural meats,
while the early MD Rokkor 24/2.8 55mm,preferred lollipops
and mulled wine.

thanks for posting such wonderful images on this thread, I really enjoy looking at them.
Gregg, if you think about it could you make a couple observations on the CV 50 1.5 and/vs the ZM 50 1.5
thank you joanlvh

A few portraits of my daughter, for her second birthday. Shot with the A7 and 90mm cron. Getting a 2 year old to sit for portraits is quite a challenge!

Very nice portrait of your daughter, itai195!! Is that the M90 or R90 Cron?
Gregg, if you think about it could you make a couple observations on the CV 50 1.5 and/vs the ZM 50 1.5
I plan to, just haven't yet...so far, I'm really liking the Sonnar. It has tons of character, with great bokeh. But, as many people before me have noted, it's a bit of a Jekyll/Hide lens. Wide open takes more care than the Nokton does to hit focus, and stopped down, it's not critically sharp in the corners, even at f11, whereas my Nokton is. The Nokton looks more clinical, where the Sonnar isn't. They both have tons of pop(3D), but the Sonnar has the typical Zeiss pop, where the Nokton has it, just not in your face. Nokton is sharper WO. I ove my Nokton images, but the Sonnar has a look that really draws you in...and is very appealing!
It's supposed to rain the next several days here(Thank God), so I might be hard pressed to actually compare the two side by side. I'm really thinking about a ZM Planar 50 too...or a Hex 50/2 to compliment the Nokton(or Sonnar!)
Just my thoughts, so far....
Here are a few images with the ZM Sonnar 50 1.5

I was away for a full month on "self-assignment" 
to Asia (mostly to Myanmar and Bali) and just made it back today. Wow, I missed so many great images while I was away. The internet connection was spotty in Myanmar. Although somewhat better in Bali but I didn't have the opportunity to log on let alone to post anything. I also noticed that Sony has its own board now but I wonder why Fred didn't migrate this thread to that board....
Anyway, here are the first few images from Bagan, Myanmar. The first image of the sunrise was taken from the top of Shwesandaw pagoda and the last three sunset related images were taken on the top of Pyathada pagoda. The dust cover was created by thousands goats and cattle that were herded back from grazing areas to north (right of the picture) on dirt field. In addition, there were quite a bit of ox carts, motor bikes, a few cars and buses carrying local or foreign tourist to see the sunset from the pagoda, stirring up dust that lingered for quite sometime. And then, they turned on the lighting of the two sizable pagodas there, making that place really "magical".

Sunrise in Bagan
Bagan shortly before sunset before the colors became really intense
Intense colors of the low setting sun as filtered through dust clouds caused by traffic (cattle herds, ox carts, motor bikes and tourist buses)
After sunset - trails of lights from a few tourist buses going back to town

Absolutely amazing Joshua! I love the color and the variety of layering in each shot. Myanmar is on my bucket list and I plan to go in the next two or three years. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Gary and Manu.
Gary, Myanmar is rapidly changing for the worse from photographers point of view that is. It started to become touristy, I understood that there were many known landmarks that started to have hotels close to them. Although it would be more convenient for tourist to visit those spots and the more lodging places should drive the price down but still the new development ruins the view. BTW, lodging is indeed relatively expensive there. The sooner you go the better, I would say.

Yes, I agree. I was in the area two years ago but just couldn't extend my trip to make a visit. Perhaps it is time to accelerate my plan.
