Gary, those shots do have a nice and clean 3D-esq look to them.. Especially the second shot!
Good job, and congrats on the lens!

Hey guys, great stuff as always!
Need to go back through the thread and get caught up, though have been lurking between a7 binges. Interesting to see a few guys here have theirs now...
Gary, nice work with the ZM25, I really like the bedposts image. Will be interesting to see how you find it compares with the 21 SEM.
I shot a few weddings over the summer as a second photographer for a guy I've known for years who now has a pretty successful wedding business... since he and I would shoot a ton of images per wedding and he would do all the processing, I never really took a close look at my shoots, other than to make sure there were images (!) I went through one of the weddings yesterday and processed some I liked. At least with this I can cut the take down to a couple hundred, which is way more manageable in post. Since i was a second shooter, concentrating more on candids than poses, I was generally shooting from other angles, looking for other things. And because he's primarily a 35/50/85 shooter, I tried to offer something a bit different, using the 28 Cron, but very often 21 for a more environmental view. Though still shooting a DSLR with a tele.
Anyway, here's one the other photographer set up and I shot from a different angle. Really like how graphic the architecture is here, and works nicely in B&W. 100 points of clarity in the arch area also helps...
M9 & 21 SEM

Ron, stunning image!!! Wonderful PP'ing and composition.
I have been pre occupied with having received the A7r. I still prefer the ergonomics and feel of the M240. The A7r makes for a great companion

Ron, very impressive use of the 21!
Charles, agree with you about feel. I dropped by the local store today and checked out the A7 and A7R. Nice, but not enough to sway me away from my M240.

Great one Ron!!!!
As for the A7, to me the most important aspects are 1. ease of focus 2. IQ
The former is not yet determined, the latter is definitely a step back in the image periphery with most lenses, and the low iso performance seems to me way too grainy.
If it wasn't for that I could easily replace my M9 with the A7 but for the moment it will be a nice addition but not a replacement.

Adrian and Edward, yes the A7/A7r's are great FF cameras and IMO they are not a replacement yet for the M9/M240 with M mount glass. I am finding the large files with the A7r are really pushing the limitations of my PC's now, and slower to process. For my needs, my M240's are here for quite some time The A7r is a wonderful addition as Edward has suggested
Ron, again thank you for all your work in investigating the A7 with different M mount glass and providing the comparisons.

Ron, glad you are back! And what a fantastic image! Interesting you pushed clarity up to its limits. I've been rather reluctant to do so but will try it where possible.

Thanks guys that commented directly. Fursan, most recently... The 75 cron has become a favorite of mine, quickly.
M9/75 Cron, 2 frame vertical pano I assembled last night... I do not know how I missed the very tree top edge. I guess just poor top framing, oops! It was the sunlight on the base of tree late in the day that caught my eye.
