It looks like there is a little front focusing on the cat. Is it only this picture, or have you had other pictures like this one?

Thanks for the pictures by the way ;-)

It was deliberately focused this way.

Landscaping? I’m not sure I’d feel great cutting grass with a $2000 lens 😉

Sony should have limited the aperture range to just F1.2 to F2 to keep people from abusing the lens with inappropriate photography genres.

Seriously, that is a beautiful super-sharp landscape with superb color.

My experience has taught me to regard 50mm as a true general purpose focal length that excels at so many different things; landscapes included.

Late in the preorder game but just ordered one. Hopefully wont have to wait too long. I am so fond the 35mm GM but sometimes just like a tad longer. Now my prime kit will be 20mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm ad 135mm.

And now Ladies and Gentlemen,a little discovery,pictured by Sony GM 50/1.2......

Last Saturday I visited a village 20km South-West of my home.There is a palace there - the former residence of one of the most famous Prussian marshals and a prince from the times of napoleonic wars.I mean Gebhard Leberecht Fürst Blücher von Wahlstatt,or simply Marshal von Blücher.

The palace was built as a castle in the 14th Century,but it's contemporary elevation shows the result of the XiXth Century renovation.Surrounded by the large park full of old oaks and picturesque fish ponds,where at this time of the year tenths of bird's species are singing.

Alas,I coud not get in for an espresso and a little glass of Hennesy XO drunk in a medieval courtyard,which i always do,as it is closed because of pandemic.

......there are two small cannons standing in front of the palace.At the first glance they look like XVII-XVIII Century's european cannons and not the ones from the XIX'th Century.............

........initially I thought they are Prussian made cannons,yet closer inspection revealed to my emotion the coat of arms of the last King of Poland and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski.........

.......The cannon's production date says in latin 1779.Prussians must have stolen it from armory or win it during one of the numerous last battles fought by the dying Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.There are traces or re-calibration in the picture above,so they probably adjusted it to their standards in order to use further on.....

https://www.zeissimages.com/gallery/951/U951.1620575795.4.jpg

In 1779 American Brigade General Tadeusz Kościuszko - American and Polish historically important person was successfully fortifying West Point to prevent the bloodthirsty :=) assault of the British.Few years later he was back to leader the last,dramatic war against Russians to keep up independence,using similar cannons.May be the same.....

.....and in the cartridge chamber of one of the cannons live laborous ants, which can be seen when they come out in a row from the hole where the fuse was once applied to trigger an explosion of a powder charge and a cannon shot.
