Werner, congrats on your new lens! I am waiting for one to come in so that I may try it, both as a macro and as a longer lens. You really didn't time to make it sing!
So many fine shots from all of you, Bob, René, Greg, Ronny, Xavier, Dale....

That ZE 35 1.4 looks really good to me. I really like the way you work with it. Sometimes I think you and I are working in different parts of the same forest. Maybe some day I will get a fast 35. There are a lot of choices now.
Thanks! Our forest are quite similar (assuming WA refers to Washington state in your profile). I have enjoyed seeing your work with Leica WATE. Nice photos with Super Takumar, I haven't tested it yet with A7(r), maybe it's time to do that as well.

A7rM with Asahi Super Takumar 50mm F/1.4 (M42)
The interesting thing to me is the difference in rendering between the first and second shot. The first shot is minimum focus distance, wide open and the second shot is f/2.8. Huge difference1
And I picked up my first macro lens. It's a Tamron 180mm f/3.5. I am waiting on my flash bracket and took these shots with available light handheld. Macro is no joke...
I am enjoying the diversity on these pages, a great thread.
A7rM with Asahi Super Takumar 50mm F/1.4 (M42) I think I am going to give this lens a rest for a while. I have been really interested in its wide-open style which almost looks like painting. It is not the same as you close it down.

A7rM - Sony FE 24-240mm. Evenings are beautiful here this time of year. This is looking west at San Juan Islands with Vancouver Island, BC, Canada on the horizon.
