3 wide open shots with Otus 55
Philippe, please don't post mid distance shallow boke shots of nice Paris statues as that will most likely cost me 3.5kEUR...

Samuli, I was one of those people that told you that I prefered your old Canon photos. I still do today. It might be subtle, but they just looked more "real" to me.
Latest photos have been LightRoom photos, of which colors I'm not very happy either. I think with the new post processing method I start to be pretty close to 5DmkII colors (e.g. these very early spring photo = not yet spring greens etc. 1, 2 and 3). Bad thing is that for any photo I have for example clouds and there is no direct light to subject are impossible for dcraw-based methodology = I have to use LightRoom to have possibility to use the "highlights"-slider.
Good thing is that when I finally figure out good method I still have my RAWs from first 1.5 years with Sony and can reprocess them. Bad thing is that I will never have interest to perform such exercise...

The standard profiles tend to be sort of blah with greens. I'm finding my custom camera profile created with my Color Checker does a really nice job with them. (Though that profile has a tendency to oversaturate reds...in that case I add a -15 to -20 on the red calibration saturation and the image looks dead-on accurate).
ColorChecker can fix middle bright greens, but it won't do anything to bright green hue issues (it can't, there isn't suitable colors in ColorChecker to help on that).
B&W doesn't have color issues - Carl Zeiss APO-Sonnar T* 2/135 ZE @ f/4 and f/5.6, A7 @ ISO 100, Carl Zeiss Polarizer, one of the photos crosspost from ZE//ZF/ZM-thread.
Charles...how would you compare the Cron to the Loxia? I'm really enjoying the bokeh of the Loxia...
Here are some Loxia 50 shots with the A7rM...
The last two shots are a la "Samuli"....and both @f2.8

Hi Greg
I really like the 50Cron IV on A7rM, but I now prefer the Loxia 50 on all the A7 cams. The Loxia's are easy, relatively small and light and gel well with the A7 sensors. It is not always obvious on web images, but the detail and rendering is superb with the 50 Loxia. All the M lenses are really nice too, but I use them for their character like the 50 Noct f/1.0, 50 Cron DR and now the 50 Cron IV.
I love your images with the 50 Lux Pre too
Got some staggeringly cheap Chinese monoblocks (I'm not so much into studio flash that I'd ever get the really good stuff) but these Godox DE300s seem remarkably decent. FE 70-200 100mm. Family portrait...
