Gorgeous shot above Michael^^^^^!!
As far as the ZM 35/2... It's a fantastic lens! I rented it from lensrentals for our trip to Hawaii, even though I have a Nikon 35/1.4 Ais, too. The ZM is small, light, and fits really well on the 7, but, I was somewhat underwhelmed with the minimum focus distance. Other than that, it has great colors and is sharp sharp sharp!!
Thank you for the comments on my pics, btw!

get the helicoid adapter for it and the mfd will be very short.
Thank you Sebboh...
but it was a rental from Lensrentals, and has gone back!!! The Nikon 35/1.4 is dead sharp at 2.8 and has a very close mfd!! So I use that, plus it has 1.4...but it's much much larger than the ZM!! What to do??
Just out of curiosity, what is the helicoid adapter??

it's an m-mount to e-mount adapter with a built in helicoid so you can focus to macro distances while still being able to focus to infinity.
Recently purchased the NEX 7 with 18-55, 55-210, 16 and fisheye, pretty dang impressed with this compact kit, really nice not lugging around the 5D Mark II or 1D Mark III at times

i especially like #3 and #4. I think your pictures would deserve some careful resizing to bring out the details better. I don't know your workflow, but you might have a look at denoirs post (you have to scroll down a bit till you reach "2. Sharpening & Resizing").
Andreas Resch has a pretty handy script on his (german) site.
I myself let LR resize the image to 6mp and resize that image in two steps to 1280px in PS, i like the results no less than if i resize full resolution images and it works quite a bit faster.

#3 is awesome, maybe a bit overprocessed for my taste

impressive cityskapes, i havent seen such a three-dimensional city in my life, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback Phillip! I haven't been happy with my workflow output but haven't been able to put my finger on what exactly was not working. I'm a masochist who uses Linux for photo processing and currently am using AfterShot Pro. I'll try some other apps for downsizing and see if I can make some improvements.
