That's awesome Juha, thanks! I was waiting for these. I guess that clears up any/all hesitation for me. I even like the aesthetics of the flaring.
Since you're using it on the same body I would, I have a couple of specific questions for you. Do you find you always need to punch in to focus, or can you rely on peaking alone, using the EVF? Wide open, and at f8..?
What are your overall impressions of the ergos of the lens on the A7cII? Since it's very small, do you find you need to "reach" for it too much, to focus?
My last question is a bit off topic.. do you remember if the last photo was outside a denim shop or something..? The figure looks remarkably like the one the japanese brand Momotaro use on their jeans patch, and other branding. I'm very into japanese raw denim clothing, so I'd love to know more, if you have any info. ...Show more →
Thanks very much!
I found that the plane of focus peaking is quite narrow with this lens regardless of aperture and focus distance (kind of similar focus behavior to Macro APO-Lanthar 65/2, 50/2 and 35/2 lenses there). Since I could rely on hard infinity with my Rayqual adapter I just rammed the focus to hard infinity when shooting very long distance shots (typically at f8), but I noticed that if my focus target in long distance shots was somewhere within ~30m range, it was better to focus a hair closer and then I usually punched in to check the plane of focus more carefully. Wide open at close range with most lenses I just relay on peaking on full view and don't punch in most of the time but with this lens I was punching in a bit more than usual since I was noticing that the plane of focus seems quite narrow.
I found the ergos to be very nice for my use. The focus feel is very good with just the right amount of resistance and I could use the tab very easily and focusing action feels very natural / ease to use.
I didn't pay much attention to the shop where I saw the Momotaro figure at the shop entrance (I didn't know the name of the figure / shop until you mentioned it), and I just liked the look of it as a photo subject, but since you asked about it I was able to find the shop on Google Maps and some of the shopfront photos on the Google Maps entry confirmed that it was this shop:

It can be found as the last entry in their store list here (it's a very small store and probably their smallest physical shop):
