Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)

A few weeks back I bought a 35 cron to use with the A7r. I am so pleased with the results that I decided to bite the bullet and complete the set of Leica lenses I used to own by purchasing a second hand Leica Elmar 50/2.8 (last version).

Except amongst the cognoscenti this is a much un-loved Leica lens so the prices are very good at present. Personally, I think it has excellent sharpness and bokeh (wide open) and should not be overlooked as a lens for any a Sony or Leica system.

Reed's Place, Kentish Town (f2.8)


At f8 I find it makes an excellent landscape lens

Malina, mid November there were already lighted Christmas trees in Helsinki.
Given how short the days there are I can understand they crave for some light though.

^^^^ Barry: be really interested to see the actual full size of this photograph to see how well the 16-35 copes with the edges ^^^^

Here you go Louis (and anybody else who may be interested), it's not a particularly good example of the 16-35mm FE lens as all the corner details are in deep shadows...I have added the original dng, the post processed tiff and the finished jpg (as on Flickr).

The downsized wall comparisons for this lens vs the WATE, that I did earlier.

I have just sold the WATE which was a great lens for sure...But this lens is much better suited to my kind of photography with the OSS...I will mostly use it between 16-28mm and keep a fast 35mm to hand...I will keep the drop box folder open for a couple of weeks before deleting..Cheers Barry

Chill :toocool:
I personally liked your image, I had already marked it as a favourite on flickr. I liked Werner's garage and calendar shot also...I saw no offence in that either. That's not to say that others might not though!...What is art to some people can be interpreted as pornographic to others it seems...The 'David' Michelangelo statue is a good example of a split decision between art and pornography, even if perhaps you and me don't think so. What was wrong of me was to stir it all up again with my jovial comment...Apologies.
