Biggest mistake of the day...was on crop mode.
A lot of clouds but still no rain.

Have not been in this thread for a long while.
Going through some older files...

This is Le Treport.


They were wrongly filed by me, these can not be 24mm. Don't remember which tele I used actually.
Probably the C/Y Zeiss Vario- Sonnar 80-200mm

Uncertain bokeh, 1.





Uncertain bokeh, 2.


Apologies for the slightly missed focus on the second shot, but I wanted to demonstrate the unusual bokeh produced by this lens.

I decided that if I was ever in funds again I would get the FE 4/70-200.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks but the weather today was the best so far. And I was given unique access to a rooftop over London's Bloomsbury area to test it out.

Spire, St George's Church, Bloomsbury.


Statue of George I on top of the spire.


This is a bit of a Mary Poppins moment - if you get the cinematic reference


I then moved on to Waterloo Bridge to get some Thames/Skyline shots

Rule Brittania - Somerset House


Performance, imho, is variable. It can be soft and hard to get sharp focus. I switched in the end to shooting at f11, instead of f8 and shots sharpened up a lot. I also kept the speed above 1/250 where possible. Not entirely sure what benefit OSS actually has as below this speed I see a lot of softness which I believe is shake. However, like my other Sony lenses it can turn in excellent results, if not consistently and the build quality makes me wonder why Sony even have a relationship with Zeiss, it is that good.

Tom, that lens boke does render rather unusually...but in a good way I think mixed with the swirling water...Cheers Barry

Louis, I have to confess a few of those shots do look a bit on the soft side at least to my eyes I’m sorry to say :(
Not sure if it’s a bit of camera shake or whether the lens just misfocused (That's if AF was being applied).
The 200mm end is the weakness of the lens IMHO and I personally prefer F8 over F11 on my particular copy of that lens as the peak performing aperture...Cheers Barry
PS. Sadly I am old enough to get the “Mary Poppins moment” reference :)
