WOW! That's quite an impressive initial image! Welcome, looking forward to more of your images! :thumbs:This is my first time posting in this thread. Went to Scripps Pier in La Jolla on sunday (never been before) and got lucky. Shot with A7R2 and 16-35 FE.

Incidentally, the foreground in this shot is BC, Canada, but the large peak in the background - Mt. Baker- is located in the U.S.
Annna, let me confuse you by saying I like both. The B&W is quite graphic and a good punchy B&W conversion helps that, but it's more about shapes and lines then the actual subject. The colour version is more about "Mannequins and shop windows" and has a shopping street mood that the B&W version misses. So I think it's more about where and for what purpose you use the picture that dictates which one to use.The previous picture was converted to B&W, to fit with the "Mannequins and shop windows" series, but I think that I prefer the color version for this one. What do you think ?
I finally decided to get the Sony FE 90mm F2.8 macro : an online dealer was offering a 10% rebate on all Sony gear and helped with the decision that it was the right time to get one. It arrived this morning and I had a little play with a just received maze of tulips. Hopefully this will bring you some sunny colors in this cold winter day.

Thank you ! Yes, that is a nice lens, somewhat big in relation to the body and for a mirrorless system. This is what has retained me from getting one earlier. But I don't regret the purchase. I hope you'll be happy with your purchase too.Very pretty!
You just made up my mind for me - I am ordering this lens right now - I miss shooting macro with my D800E (Sold).
