This page is off to an amazing start. Today's shots with my A7ii and Minolta Rokkor 58mm f/1.2. I gotta say...MF + f/1.2 + 1.5 year old child = challenging with few keepers. It was a lot of fun, nonetheless.

I'm seriously looking at adding this lens as well, I have the Zeiss Distagon 15 ZE but I'm looking for a smaller alternative . Do you see any corner colour cast from this lens on the A7R?
Not that I've seen, but I've had it less than a week and there isn't much to shoot yet, spring is still trying to get going.
That shot is SOOC, so I'm very happy with what I see.
Another shot, nothing special, just playing with the CV15III

Samuli, what kind of HDR software are you using? Last shot - from my humble opinion - would from a normal single shot be able to produce a lot more presence (and sharpness FWIW) given the dynamics of the Sony FF sensor.
PhotoMatix Pro - the combination of A7(r) not being able to bracket 1 1/3 stop or 1 2/3 stop and gigantic dynamic range of the scene I think it what caused my post processing issues. If you make it from one frame, then it needs to be the darkest frame because sky is completely blown in middle exposure (for me the sky is very important element in this photo, anything blown there and it's worth nothing). However without any adjustment foreground is almost black, and I doubt it can be made from single exposure, but you are welcome to try - added the photo to The how-would-you-process-my-image thread.

Did it ever sleep Samuli? :-)
In Jan-Mar it was progressing 2-3 pages/week, now I was busy with other stuff for a week and there are 16 pages. So I would say thread was sleeping
Now time for big mug of coffee (or two) and start reading those 16 pages...
Thanks for everyone for images in last 16 pages, took two mugs of coffee to get through...
Few images from El Teide national park from Tenerife - these are from area where lava has flown some hundred years ago. It was quite educating to see this kind of lava field kilometers wide, containing house size "particles" - makes me hope that i won't see one "live".
Let's start with Zeiss Loxia 2/50 image: f/8.0, 1/160s, ISO 100, A7r, Hoya HD Circ-Pol
Carl Zeiss APO-Sonnar T* 2/135 ZE @ f/2, 1/400s, ISO 100, A7, CZ Circ-Pol
Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2/25 ZE @ f/2.8, 1/500s, ISO 100, A7, CZ Circ-Pol
First shots with the camera: I like the quality of the grain up to ISO 51200, hyperfocal with the 15/4,5 M39 day and nigth is now possible. RAW file ligth and malleable, silent shutter is completely silent.
