I have to say that this thread is amazing with support. This thread appears to be very different than most threads here. Why do you think that is? There is a real online community build here with people from all over the world. Well done everyone!

Edward, excellent captures, and I am really liking your PP'ing.
Allen, superb engaging images!!! I notice your recent series really connect
Carsten, beautiful capture. Love the rendering with the 90 Cron Asph
Michael, powerfully PP'd images! Love your style and personality you add to your shots, and the colors are great.
Tobin, great comment and I do agree!!! I think everyone treats each other with positive respect
Tobin, completely agree. Great community with a lot of support and a wealth of information in these pages.
Najib, beautiful BWs with first being favorite.
Michael, I must say, your journey from graceful, subtle colors in your portraits to these richly saturated images from China is simply amazing. Beautiful work on both sides. Love the 2nd one for its awesome contrasts.
Carsten, Love your work. Your flickr stream is simply outstanding.
Edward, love your street work . That sign is funny. The BW (2nd) is also a nice moment captured of someone's day.
A few from yesterday at a lounge bar called TGIF. All with the ZM 35C. The colors straight out of the camera are gorgeously rich. PP included few tweaks to curves and opening some shadows and leveling. The UC-Hexanon, although stunningly sharp and contrasty may soon be on the way out. Nothing against the hex but I like how this lens draws. Very soothing bokeh and highlight rendering is beautifully smooth.
From previous pages...
Charles, love the shots of the dried up roses with the 50cron rigid. the ones from previous page are even better.
Allen, outstanding work. The sign on intolerance made be laugh. One can learn how to observe from your photographs.
Charlie, another set of fun shots. Nice helmet too.
Ron, beautiful, surreal images of snow. Loved the first set, especially 3rd and 4th. Loved the shot of the snow covered car from previous pages. Snow covered M is also interesting.
Many more interesting contributions and apologize for not naming everyone. Gotta go back to work.
Thank you Manoj
Najibs, wonderful portrait series!!
Manoj, love this set of images. Very strong bold lines and colors

unoh7,what adapter you use on A7r with m lenses?i own a toy-A7r for low price to have fun with my Nikon and m lenses
Leonas, I would strongly suggest the Novoflex adapters, although they are more expensive, you will not have issues with focusing at infinity. The Metabones are thicker, and will not allow a lot of M lenses to focus at or marginally past infinity. Good luck
It might be a personal thing, but I'm actually prefering your results from the M over your other recent ones with the A7 Edward. The colors and overall rendering look different to me, in a nice way.

Thank you very much for the comments Jochen! Happy to hear that!
I think it has to do with the lenses and the raw files.
The ZM lenses are all spherical lenses while the EF ZA contain aspherical elements. They might be super sharp from wide open but they lack the "gentleness" of the ZM.
Also I am finding the M raw files to be quite softer than the A7 raw files, regardless of the lens used, despite the M having no AA filter and the A7 having a somewhat thick one. This most probably relates to Sony's sharpness enhancement algorithms that were thought not to affect files opened in 3rd party converters, but now I can see that the effect is very obvious.
