Ryan, excellent shots. That first one is fantastic!
Really nice shots Akul. I see that you are enjoying your 100 MP. I especially like #2 - a very nice in-and-out of focus transition with the curved geomtery.
Philippe, interesting documentary shots of the ferris wheel. I didn't know that they assembled it section by section in place.

rsolti13 - lovely portraits and like others, I like the first. Handheld or tripod?
akul - I love what you're doing with that 100MP. A wonderful lens, isn't it?
Phillippe - Nice sharp colorful images of the wheel construction. That's a lot of work for the holidays!
Thanks for the comments on the cemetery shots. Charles, I used Topaz Adjust for some of the processing of these images. The one that are green are a Lightroom preset that I modified from a download.

Brightscreen,EG-S,Katz...anyone really compared between them? I've ben shooting with a 5DMKII and Zeiss ZE 21,35 and 100mm (heavily influenced by this forum) and also find that many times focus is not so precise as I would wish. I shoot with the EG-S screen and a 1.3 diopter, so would the other ones really make a difference?

Denoir, Bob, thank you so much !!
Yes, I am having great fun with 100MP. Quite an amazing lens, challenging, yes, but it so worth the effort. As you can probably tell, macro part is just a bonus at the moment.

When I had a 5D, I tried the Brightscreen, having heard good things about it, but although it was bright, I found that it didn't help me to manually focus. I then bought the 4x as cheap Ee-S, and this was much easier for me. I was focusing Leica R lenses: 35 Cron, 50 Cron, 80 Lux, 90 Cron, 90 Elmarit, 135 Elmarit, as well as a Zeiss Jena 20mm f/2.8 MC.

Did you try a Brightscreen with split-image and microprism? Did you have problems with spot metering?

No, I don't like the split-image/micro-prism focusing mechanism, because you can only focus in the center with them, and there aren't always edges where you need them. I bought the plain matte screen. Metering was fine, although I seem to recall a very slight tendency to underexpose,
