Re: Fun with the Sony A7 and A7r series

Just exploring tilt for DOF control with the Cambo Actus using an 80mm CF Planar on the A7R. This was with 5 degrees tilt at f/8.

Pegelli - I know what you mean about the sea disappearing. The sky was darkest on that side of the beach because of the approaching storm but I liked the contrast of the kite against the sky. I will post close ups later.

Mikal, what I really meant is that the horizon was not straight and leaning down to the right. I know it's a nit and on another site I'm being called a member of the horizon police.:grin:

Great close-ups, especially like the action and the expressions on their faces.

Nice. My favorite 28 on the A7R.

Carl, thanks for the comment. I only just received the lens and I agree it is sharp and colourful. However, pointed directly into light, or side light just outside the frame I get what seems to be a lot of what appears to be veiling flare. Do you experience this with your one?

I am getting hold of a lens hood to try and mitigate it.

Thanks Werner (Bacchus :chug: ), those grapes look good enough to drink! All that beautiful tempting fruit from you and Carl and it's enough to turn a carnivore into a vegetarian!

Michiel...Lovely shots from NYC. Was that intentional before you arrived to include a high rise water tank in most of your city skyline shots or did you just gravitate to that idea on arrival?...Either way it works. :thumbs:

Doug, Excellent :salute: A simple enough idea (those invariably turn out to be the best images)...I suspect that if you made a negative from that image it would end up looking like a tank track in the sand.

Joe...You ended up settling for a common garden green lizard...You couldn't manage to find a blue one then :ROTFL: you MUST try harder.

Many thanks Louis...More like "DEMANDING" No more concessions please Dave :lecture:

P, I see what you mean about the horizon.

Thanks for the compliments about the close ups. The close ups are actually cropped because I didn't have the reach with me lens / body combo, and if I did have the reach, I am not sure that I have the skill to be as precise as I was in the crops.

Maybe I will submit these to a magazine if I can get the appropriate releases. Any thoughts?

I barely use the other lenses I brought, the Contax N 24-85 is so versitale and it does deliver the goods. It is a bit big or more so it is fat. It ain't that long actually.
I use my batterygrip as well for balnce and I never run out of juice during the entire day.

Another way of looking at downtown Manhatten.
