Thanks worldinlens. Amazing how much the manufacturers have hidden inside the bodies.

I'm about to sell a 2x extender because it not that usable when w/o - I need to reduce for 1-1.5 stop down to get rid off the flare around objects - what's the term of it?
Then I found it has made the closes focus distance shorter - only about 30cm. This photo is taken with a 50 summicron + 2x extender + GF1 which make it a 200/F4. Not sharp at all, but it can be fun.
Jon, nice images, love the sense of realness.
Lz, that old gentleman's expression made the photo, Nice.
Roni, the golden bridge is incredible shot. I also feel it is one of your best.
Another one with 80lux WO. accidentally 2 stop under, D700 gave me random exposure error... uncorrected exposure with some edit seems worked!
My 21-35 arrives today. Tested with R6. I wish it had smoother zoom ring. And the original front cap is not reachable with the hood on. Already book a hood with cap.

Thanks Michael! I think this image gives credence to my personal photography motto (which I've heard echoed on national geographic's phoblog): if you want to take better pictures, put yourself in front of more interesting stuff.
In my opinion, the golden gate bridge picture actually looks horrible on a computer. Unfortunately, I think portrait orientation looks horrible on computer monitors in general. There is so much detail in that shot, that I think the only way to do it justice is to print it very large (I'm going to print it at 16x24 or 20x30).

Your bridge shot is a well composed well executed shot that captures the opportunity that presented itself. I had not heard that motto, but it is right indeed. But I think interesting stuff can be just around us too - and sometimes you just have to go find it
Zhangyue: This color photograph of your son/family is very much to my liking. Such characterful shots just seem to capture a moment in time. Very nice indeed.
80lux's rendering is very gentle and seems similar to 75lux. I might have to keep an eye out for one

Taylor, A great one. Nice catch of light beam.
LZ, A very nice catch for the moment. great trap focus skill, as always.
Xenon99, That is a crazy macro.
Great work here, Xenon, not trying to steal your thunder, but I posted an 80 lux today in buy and sell as well, I am in US if it helps someone looking for one on this side of the pond. I had intention of converting the lens. but I have never done it yet, and want to fund something else, so I listed it.
I have to go back through a lot more pages here, nice stuff.
