Nice pictures! The FE 28 looks good. Still debating if I will get one...
I do like the FDn 28/2 a lot though.
I'm with you on that - I think its a under-rated lens - the FD 35 F/2 the same...

Mike, gorgeous Columbine. Sebboh, the shot of the child on the beach is amazing. Great atmosphere.
A couple shots from Leica 50mm f/1.5 Summarit (1953) + a7ii. I love the look of the blur across the frame when focused on the rim. Sort of the opposite of a tilt-shift lens: you get more blur, rather than less from this center-optimized lens design.

Dale - I think you have a really good copy of 24-240 and good PP.
Here is a pano of stitched images and a single shot - both using A7r and the C-Y Z 100-300 VS. I really like this lens!

Dave, your images are always superlative, but these two are well beyond that. Thank you for sharing!

Cheap Macro -- Here are a couple of shots with the Asahi Super Takumar 50mm F/1.4 on a Sony A7r Mod. What is different about these shots is the camera adapter. I am using a focusing M42 adapter which allows very close focus. This old lens really works well as a macro because it already has such good 3D pop.

A7r, Canon 24 TS-E. More evening storms. Taken just after sunset.

I was planning of going back to the Horse Shoe Bend but after doing two Slot (Antelope) Canyon photography tours and skipping lunch, I was exhausted. Plus, the sky looks sterile without any interesting clouds right now . So, I decided to skip another sunset trip to the HSB but instead I had the chance to go through a few hundred of images although most of them are actually the same images but bracketed images. My experience in the last two days from photographing Navajo Sandstone under contrasty lighting conditions would be to bracket towards under exposure between 3 and 4 images for getting a final image. Here are two bracketed images processed using LR.

Superb Joshua!!
Guys, thank you so very much!
This place is approximately 9-hour drive from where I live; definitely within a striking distance. This is my first time to the Secret Canyon and second to the Lower Antelope Canyon. I skipped the upper Antelope Canyon not only because I was there 4 times but it is way too crowded. This is photographically a must visit spot and I can give you tips/hints if any of you is interested.

Haven't tried the FD 35/2 yet but I'm keeping an eye out for one. I suppose you are referring to the concave version?

I have the so-called new FD 35 F/2, and I find it a fantastic performer - sharp into the corners from about 5.6 and with very little purple fringing. It's very similar overall to the 28 F/2 though I find the far corners on the 28 not quite as good. There's an assessment of the 35 F/2 on an A7R at http://erphotoreview.com/wordpress/?p=4364.

Thanks for the info! Will read your link. The far corners are not that important to me, I usually shoot a little wide if possible which leaves me some room to crop extreme corners if sharpness there is critical (which is not that often anyway). I'm more interested in the rendering/color/bokeh.
I already have a QBM Distagon 35/2.8, a Minolta MC 35/1.8 and a Schneider Retina Curtagon 35/2.8 but the concave FD 35/2 especially seems to have a big following from what I read online.
The FD 24/2 is another one that's supposed to be very good an I am keeping an eye out for that too. I have an FDn 24/2.8 which I found a bit disappointing especially compared to the FDn 20/2.8 and 28/2 which are both excellent on the a7 (may be just my copy of the 24/2.8 though since most people seem to think the 20/2.8 and 24/2.8 are very close in quality).
