I swapped an e-m1 and a few little-used lenses for an a7b, should be fun with my K' 28/50/85/135, 17-28 fisheye and their 28-70 kit. Thanks for showing off your photon grabs here!

Hm, I have an old box of nikon-f lenses around here somewhere..

A7b? Do you mean a7r?

Sorry folks, I often use my own personal abbreviations for cameras. It's an A7 mark 2, A7ii - or for me an alpha/seven/beta

No worries. What would the a7rii be? A7rb?

Hello, got the same A7iib !) I use it with everything, sigma superwide 24 f2.8, Pentax da 35 f2.4, M42 lenses (Helios 44m7, zenitar 16, Jupiter 9, takumar 50 macro preset), pentax-m 28mm F3.5, and even a Minolta Rokkor 45mmF2 (which is really very good). Everything is possible, and it's just FUN !
I now look for a Nikkor 105 f2.5 AIS, looks fantastic!
Cheers

I’ve always liked that lens.

Hit the local wiildlife area with the A7 & Loxia 21.

After a couple of days of heavy rain, most of the Fall leaves have dropped.

Happened to look out the window after dinner tonight, and couldn't pass up shooting the sunset. It took me a few minutes scrambling to grab my (new to me) Sony A7R ll and Loxia 85. Opened the balcony door, and took the shot wide open, hand held. The sunset was disappearing by the minute. I was five minutes past its peak.

Tried my (new to me) A7R ll out on the trails with the Loxia 85. I was experimenting looking for problematic situations, and this shot fits the bill perfectly. Highlights and deep shadows both requiring detail. This was minimally processed from raw. Very pleased!

I think missing the peak may have elevated the image. The moon is the star here and it gets a boost from the colors but they don’t rule the image.

Taking advantage of the gorgeous weather this week, with the Sony A7R ll and Loxia 21.

Really nice still water in that first shot.

It was approaching golden hour at 3:15. The sun is quite low in the sky this time of year, and the air was very calm. The smoothness of the water is emphasized by the wake left by the Trumpeter Swan in this shot. Unfortunately, I only took the one lens that day. I could have used something longer for this kind of shot.

You can always crop a bit. I like the wide perspective but I think about double the focal length would have been perfect for the wake and swan. Great capture either way.

Took these a few days ago while testing out a pair of Flashpoint/Godox MF12's. I've been using a Sony flash off-camera, but this is smaller, lighter and just so much easier to deal with.
