After have tried the Rokkor 58/1.2 in nature I wanted to see how it performed in town. I was not disappointed. What a lens! I think at f/5.6 it may be the sharpest lens I have ever owned and bokeh at f/2 seems lovely.

That first image with your Heliar 15 is a beauty, Bob - the only thing that stops me heading straight to the shop to buy one is the inability to remove the lens-hood - I'd prefer something wide that I can mount an ND filter on... John
There are filter threads, though I don't know about vignetting.
Here are some images taken last evening at the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M WATE set to 21mm. All images processed in LR6. The first image shows what I believe to be a little sensor reflection rather than lens flare. Several set-ups last evening demonstrated this but I only noticed it in the viewfinder while setting up for this image. I will have to watch for this a bit more carefully in the future.
Joshua, Charles, Werner, Ronny, Helena, Philber, Rich, and everyone from the last several pages....very nice!!
While walking in the woods yesterday, going to see the steam engines again( my youngest LOVES trains!), we ran upon a Civil War Re-enactment. Roaring Camp throws one every year. Here are a few shots with the Loxia 35 and A7rM

Every time I want to post here, I get stuck looking at all the amazing images and never get around to posting! Today, it's post first, browse later, then hopefully don't regret posting
From a few weeks back in High Park, Toronto. Shot with the A7 and MinO 85/1.4, first three at f/2.2, the last one at f/1.4.
The Olympus Zuiko Macro 90/2.0 is,I'm sure now,my second favourite macro lens after the Makro Planar 100/2.0.This time used for handheld closeups with the A7.Either at f2.0 or f2.8.
The first one is stunning Philipe. That is, for a flower pic; which is not my thing anymore.
BTW I see you are not using your Otus at the moment, you can send it to me , since you got that nice present from Bob.
