Fantastic shots of the skyline and others from Minneapolis! You are listed as Milwaukee, have you transplanted yourself from the city of beer?

Alan,
Indeed I have recently moved from Milwaukee to Minneapolis. Like many of my address changes, this site is yet another I need to update! Thanks for reminding me.

JacobD - Love the Thomas Train image
LegalTrouble - You're making me hunger for that Metabones Smart Adapter! Did you say 35-shot stitch? Whoa!
apiel123 - Those shots with the 24 are great!
A few more from my outing yesterday:
Rji2goleez, I very much like the treatment on your 2d and 3d photos. Do you use Nik software for that?
the sigma: I use LAEA-1, just because 2 was not made when I bought sigma--thus aperture is in camera, but focus does not work. Yes it is the sony mount.
Now that I use zm18 alot, I want to bring the sigma when i can. It seems pretty good--but obviously not small.
Sometimes I muse to get 70400g and LAEA-2--then I think I could focus this lens auto. Seem really expensive, but not compared to my other lust: leica 135 APO.
A big thank you. You were in time as I have not trimmed the lens. I will park it in the cupboard for now and wait for the NEX 7n or Full frame.
Cheers
Andrew

Andrew,
I should have mentioned that even with the ears trimmed there is significant degradation on the edges and corners of the image on the Nex7. If your intent is to see if trimming the ears will make it work, I would say don't do it as I'm pretty sure it will not help and you'll end up with a lens worth less due to the trimming.
On the Nex5n though it worked very well for me and with the ears trimmed I had it mounted on the adapter and ready to use without the fiddling of mounting the adapter first then the lens. If the convenience is what you are after then go for it but don't do it in hopes that the image will improve on the Nex7 as it won't improve enough if at all to make it worthwhile.

It seems you're getting along very well with your new 5N, Bob. Splendid shots from the town..
In the mean time, a coupe from 5N and 35 summarit @ f/2.5-5.6
+1 love the old urban shots
and boy that summarit is CRISP on the first gorgeous sunset.
The shot inside the ski lift is quite interesting. Makes me wish Sony would get off their butts already and release that e-mount wide angle zoom sooner than later.
