Think of it as savings. You can sell what you’re not using in the off-season, then you’ll appreciate having the money!

Ugh. You guys. This thread. I JUST bought a 105mm 1.4 and the 55 1.8...been following this thead for a while...just broke down and bought a VM 40 1.2 and a TAP. Took advantage of the 15% off anything on eBay today.

Hopefully I can lighten my bag and replace the 55 and 35 1.4 with this, probably not, need critical af for weddings, but we will see.

All this influx of cash during wedding season months and me being impulsive does not make a good combo! I'll be adding photos to the thread soon!

Zeiss says that the Sony's distance scale is not trustworthy... as if the distance scale in the lens would be much more precise...

To be fair, I found the digital distance scale pretty useless and intrusive to the EVF, so I taped over the contacts. Primitive solution, but hey.

The distance scale is ok to indicate the direction for turning the focus ring. But nothing to focus with. I would have prefered on the Voigtlander to go without it.

Love the processing on the shot of kiddo sitting on the dock. May I ask what you used there?

Thanks. It's a mix of "Adobe Color" color profile, own adjustments and the tone curve from VSCO pack (Agfa Optima 100 II+). I like that particular tone curve and use it a lot in my images. I think it's in the VSCO film 7 collection.

Aren't the Batis' distance scale based on Sony's data anyways?

Yes, the Zeiss comment I saw was an explanation for the relative inaccuracy of their OLED scale

No, I was the only one there. I added the crowd in Photoshop to add some drama!

It's TechArt adapter that lets you use Leica M mount lenses on Sony E mount, with some AF capability.
