Rene - Welcome! Your english is fine!
Michiel - Good luck on the exhibition!
My thoughts too!
René, I really like your fist shot of the Würzbrunnen church, and Helena, great as ever! Plus Bob, you seem to have a serious GAS attack. Should I be concerned? And you haven't said what you've sold...
More great stuuf from all of you. René, Derek, Ronny, Peire, Bob, Taylor. The two that inspire me the most are Oldraven's econd, and René's church interior right after it. I would have loved to post more, but spent hours at the demonstration in Paris today. I may post a couple of shots tomorrow, but availing myself of the many fine portrait opportunities would have been inappropriate (and against French law too).
Here are some shots from Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. Access to get behind the falls is tricky. Fortunately, I had metal cleats on my boots but even still, you needed to use ropes to hang on in order to get behind. Unfortunately, I left home without a quick release plate on my camera so all are handheld.
A7II + CV Nokton 50/1.5 @ f/5.6 except #2 which is WO with extended VM-E adapter.
Some fine shots there Bob specially the ones from Minehaha falls. Very different from the ones I've seen. Just noticed you still had your recent pics dated 2014 at the bottom(not sure if intentional). Doesn't take anything away from the pics but thought I'd bring to your attention.

Bob, nice use of the nokton 50/1.5 that shows off its character. I put this lens up for sale, but I have a hard time parting with it.

John, i am using a Metabones Smart IV adaptor with all my Canon E lenses. I had the version III before and there is no big difference with the 24 TSE. The A 7 in combination Metabones/ E lens works great. IS is working as is AF but really slow, i always focus manual with magnification. Aperture is controlled in cam, Exifs in the files.
You can use the TSE handheld with the EVF level activated quite easy. My last shots shown here are with tripod.
What you have to consider is size and weight with the Canons + adaptor (no problem for me).
That's helpful information. I'm mostly into different subject matter to you - more landscapes as in the examples below, both of which would work very well with a little tilt. The first was with a Canon FD 28 F/2.0 and the second with an FD 35 F2.0. I also have an FD 20, but have found that while the centre is beautifully sharp, it doesn't pay to look to closely at the corners. Hopefully the TS-E 24 would provide some improvement in that regard. The weight is a downside, given the places I like to go, but other UWA options (Distagon 21, etc.) look to be just about as heavy. I'm open to any other UWA suggestions.
Regards, John
ps. - apologies for posting such summery images when so many of you appear to be in the depths of winter.
