Gregg -- Thanks. I've been using the A7 for about a month now. Before that, my trusty 5DII. The first two shots were captured using 28mm Elmarit on A7. Last shot with the 50 lux.

Gregg - Thanks for the info on the Concourse D'Elegance. I just checked their website and the event takes place sometime in August. I would love to attend the event this year.
AG -- Congrats on your 50 cron's. Yes. The E55 takes 55mm thread. The other version (Series VI) is a little bit more complicated. If you have the original hood (Part # 12564), then you will need the matching lens hood cover (Part # 14163). Then you will also need a series VI retaining ring (Part #14160) if you were to use drop in filters.

Whelp...here's my first shot of my first ever Leica lens, the 50mm Summicron f/2 (cam 3)...from within my office cubicle.
I'm probably going to hell for this, but this was the only item I found that caught my eye, considering there aren't any windows in my office and I'm on the swing/graveyard shift. What looks like a window in the background is actually a roll-up door that is permanently closed. The figurine was on top of another coworker's shelf collecting dust. I "creatively" put to use a lit computer monitor screen. Straight LR 5.3 export to JPG from RAW. No crop.
My apologies for the boring photo and no offense meant. I can always remove the photo if anyone objects.
Here are some images cross posted in the A7 (r) image thread and taken this evening with my A7r and my Leica R 28mm f2.8 Elmarit V2 lens. Images taken at the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA and nearby. All images processed in LR5.3.
Rich...Really like the 2nd and last sunset pic! Very nice.
John...incredible shots with the 180! The color of the sky on the first is great! And love the moon shot, too!

Took the 50 Lux out earlier this morning. And then, figured out how to shoot the Elmarit R 24, without it hitting the mirror on my 1D4...the closer to infinity, more of a chance to hit...SO, I shot close, and WOW!! I know wide portraits can be distortion heavy, but this lens ROCKS for close!!
Thanks for looking,
Gregg
50 Lux @2.8
wide open...my wife gave me a hat with a G on the front!!! Funny...
I just came back from my first ever anime convention with the a7 and the 50mm Cron-R (cam 3). I've never been to such a convention and as such, I didn't quite know what to expect other than people in costume (cosplay). It ended up being not only an enjoyable experience, but an educational one at that!
Subject isolation? nah, leave that at the front door.
Busy backgrounds? Almost guaranteed!
Changing and or challenging lighting? You bet!
I think an AF lens would best perform in the busy hustle and crowded bustle of such conventions. Use of plain focus peaking was pretty much all the time allowed since focus magnification took too long and the subjects became too restless. Anyway, enough of my rambling. On to the photos!
All captured on a Sony a7 w/ Leica 50mm Summicron-R (3 cam) with ~f/2 - f/5.6 & Auto ISO.
JaKo and Rich, thanks for uploading images taken with the A7r and 28
There was the brief excitement of frost and fog here early this morning, the excitement was short lived, as another Atlantic low of gales and rain arrived, sigh.
Here is one more cross posted in the A7 (r) thread from last evening taken near the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA.with my A7r and my R 28mm f2.8 Elmarit V2 lens. Image shot at ISO 100 30 minutes after sunset for 4 seconds and is the last of the series taken after sunset. Image processed in LR5.3.
