Thanks. To me, they look like they could be from Mars. Their color is intense and look is very alien.

JimJim, they're called Callistemon or simply "bottle brushes". They're an Australian plant. I planted tons of them around our house in Brisbane. Here in Germany I also tried to plant a few, but they only survived their first winter. This previous winter they all died. There must be some winter-hard varieties though as the temperatures around Canberra often drop way below freezing at night and they seem to grow well there.

The lux arrived and here are the first few snaps 
Got to say, the 75mm F1.4 is making me slowly forget the 85Mm F1.2. And now the lust for Leica is only growing. 35Lux, 24 Lux and 50 Cron - That means i need to take up Uber at nights

Wow, the 75 lux does look nice...and probably half the weight of my 85/1.2.

Some beautiful images again (i've been a slacker re keeping up with each new page). By the way I support the statement that bottlebrushes grow very well here in cold Canberra (cold for Australia).
Loving your signature images Philip R (especially the sheep - your images caused me to buy the FD 80-200/4 L some time ago) and Peter T, that first bluebell shot is amazing.
I went out today to capture a scene for a canvas for my wife's office. I wanted to evaluate my new Pentacon 135/2.8 M42 against the Zeiss (C/Y) and the EF135/2. It was blowing a gale and the light was all wrong for the shot I needed, however I discovered that my Pentacon won't infinity-focus
Hopefully there's an adjustment possible as I don't really want to send it all the way back to the UK.
My latest acquisition arrived today - the lens on the right - an 8-element Leica Summicron 35. I'm going out now to try it. The lenses will have filters on as there's a cold front blowing in and therefore lots of airborne debris.
In the last of the 3 pictures, the sundial looks out to the far ridge where the mount Stromlo Observatory is located. It had a number of fine optical telescopes destroyed by the terrible bushfires in Canberra in January 2004. The Observatory remains a teaching/research arm of the Australian National University and some work continues, but without the historic telescopes.

Very nice Michiel - is the first one a Dauphin? I am old enough to remember those. I love the rendering of the Summicron-M 50. I should never have sold my Type 4.

Charlie - you're messing with my mind - I thought I was back browsing the Leica thread!! Actually I like the M9 shots better, but purely from a relative sense. These are great too, especially 144 and 079.
poffelus - what an amazing autumn scene - but it's spring up in your hemisphere!

So what? I thoght this is a thread for Sony Alpha 7/7r/7s images regardless of their age. Or is this thread only for actual pictures? I took the first photo last autumn and rediscovered it randomly yesterday.
The second photo is one month old.

ZE/ZF series 2/25 delivers nice quality and enjoyable boke for close-ups. Field curvature makes infinity shooting less enjoyable. If Batis 2/25 has decent boke (can't be seen from MTF) it's no-brainer to replace ZE/ZF 2/25 in my camera bag as it has no corner issues at infinity due to field curvature (this can be seen from MTF).
