I have a lot more... but they were shot on my 5D + various L lenses... so can't share them here If anyone is interested, some are posted here, and more will follow on that thread.

Here are a few contributions from a much less magical place, but one that I found very interesting. A little URBEX with the 5N + Nokton 40...
Al, you and others here with the Nokton 40 motivated me to take it out on this trip, I'm happy to return the favor! Your third above is nice. I'd like to see some Nokton bokeh now
Here's one more from the Nokton... sometimes the stuff found in these places is as interesting as the location itself!
Thanks alwang, those jupiter lenses render OOF in very beautiful ways, it seems the optical forumulas the russians knocked off really perform well on crop sensor mirrorless. Unfortunately, I think this thread and others with the M9 are beginning to push these russian "knockoffs" into pricey territory (relatively speaking).
I like the rocks in the foreground on the first stitch. I feel like you should be set up on top of the rocks in the foreground on the second stitch (unless of course this is risky or illegal).
Oh, it's heavy alright. I doubt I would hang the camera on my neck without supporting it with a hand. Handholding is fine. The Zeiss 21 Distagon, 35/2 and 50mm Makro-planar work best. The 35/1.4 distagon and 100 makro-planar are heavier.
I'm even exploring the 24-105 which will take practice to control both zoom and manual focus but it's a light enough lens that I think this will work fine. Of course, I had to throw on the 70-200/2.8 ver II. Basically, you're now holding a lens with a camera attached. Workable but not ideal wihtout a tripod.
