So many excellent images, and this thread just seem to be accelerating!!!
Great shots everyone!
Shots this afternoon at Burleigh beach as the storms were rolling in. The lighting was very interesting as it was continually changing and had an eerie glow.
Sorry, been busy with work recently, even though the weather would have allowed for great sunset pictures. Oh well. Just glancing through the last few pages of this thread makes me hesitate to post my rather ordinary pictures here.
Joshua: You wonderful pictures from Bagan just blew me away. Outstanding work.
Peire: These color and detail in these autumn leaves shots with the Rokkor 85 is insanely impressive.
TriTran: That's a great picture with the APO Elmarit. Excellent composition, too.
Charles: I like the rough mood of these shots.
Gregg: The warm colors in that autumn leave shot with the Nokton are beautiful. Great use of natural light. Your C Sonnar also seems to be in very capable hands.
Sony A7 with Minolta MD 35-70mm f3.5 Macro.
#1 is a stitch of 3 frames vertically (2 would have been enough...).
IMO the lens performs very well at night.
I had a wander around London today, took some shots handheld with A7R + 17mm TSE.
I relied on the peaking indicator too much and have a bunch of oof shots.
So now turned off peaking and will use the manual focus magnification check instead.
Thinking of getting a metabones to get auto magnification view when focusing.
Here's one from Leadenhall market, 3 stitched shots in portrait orientation with the lens shifted left, center and right.
John,
Nice shot. I found, even with 5DIII and my TSE lenses I needed to use the magnified view to get critical focus.
With the Metabones adapter I use the magnified focus at its max all the time, even handheld shots.
My Commlite adapter today was driving me nuts. Why to all the cheap non metabones adapters all have a crappy thumbscrew to attach the tripod foot to the adapter. I tightened up as much as i could and when I tripod mount the rig it wobbles from side to side by a fair margin enough to mess up a composition.
Oh well, refund requested from Amazon and I'm now in the market for a Metabones.
Here's a few more from today, first 2 are Zeiss 100/2 last one is Canon 35/2IS

Cheers for that, yeah the magnified view looks the way forward.
Great shot. I worked for five years in the City and loved to go to the Borough Market to grab a snack for lunch.
My wife and I sometimes wonder why we left London. We really had a great time there.
A job searching friend wanted new images for his linkedin profile, so earlier this day I shot a few. The FE55 needs a bit softening down even at ISO400.

Got to play with the Sony A7 II a bit today at the Boston Waterworks Museum. All with adapted Pentax FA Limited lenses, all SOOC, mostly HC B&W:
