Love those Distagon sea-scapes, Ronny. Here's some from the close of the southern hemisphere summer - harvesting the maize across the road from us this afternoon - first with TS-E 24, second with FD 85 and third with CV apo-lanthar 180.
This thread moves at an amazing pace. Great images everyone!!!
Jack and Sebboh, thank you
Jack, excellent series!
Sebboh, love the gentle rendering with your shots.
Jack, with weddings I usually provide another perspective, particularly with the 50 Noct f/1.0 and A7s. I leave the work to the paid photographers, and I usually captures shots with a different look
Another interesting note is that the video works great with the A7s and 50 Noct f/1.0, and I never thought I would use it, but it was there

GreggThe A7II has less sensor reflections than your A7, Another option that might improve the A7 is the thin cover glass conversion, though I'm not sure if it's been proven beyond a doubt.
Even my A7r is not as immune as my NEX-7.
sphinxx wroteThe V-ME close focus will give you 4mm closer. If you use lens upper 50mm focal range, I think it wastes of money.I don't, have you ever tried taking a picture of someone across the table and can't because they are too close? I have, a close focus adapter can be very handy.Yes I know. That's why I told him If he use >50mm focal length lens, for example: a Leica 90mm, 4mm closer compares to 1m minimum focus length is not really sufficient, isn't it ? But If he use <50mm focal length, I highly recommend it.
P/s: Lovely photo Where is that place ?Where are you getting this 4mm from? The MFD of a 90mm lens typically changes from 1m to 0.75m or so with one of those helicoids. That is a significant change.The V-ME close focus will give you 4mm closer. If you use lens upper 50mm focal range, I think it wastes of money

From BHphoto, in spec section.
Length Helicoid Extension: 0.16" (4 mm)
While the physical change is only 4mm it has a profound effect on the MFD. If it didn't these adapters would be pretty useless.
from the week end, using summicron R 50/2
really love the clarity and OOF result of this lens on A7
also try to use capture one for sony...which rumors says provide better tone when processing sony RAW
