Awesome.Vesak Day ( Buddha's Birthday ) Celebration at Borobudur. A7R w/FE55 and Leica 19mm Elmarit-R
Every year on the birthday of Buddha or Vesak Day, thousands of people gather at Borobudur near the city of Yogjakarta, Indonesia to participate or witness the celebration. Borobudur is a large Buddhist temple complex built in the 9th century and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction. The highlight of the celebration is the releasing of up to 5,000 lanterns. Here are a few images from that night.
Looks excellent.Despite reading many posts on the Voig 15/4.5 v3 FE mount concerning smearing corner, finally I've decided to get one and see it by myself. Probably mine is not the best copy but it is sufficient for my need. What do you think?

Teera, that looks really good. My expectations for that lens were based on my use of the VM version. Your shot shows how sharp it is out to the edges of the frame. Thanks for sharing.What do you think?
Ian, a word of warning: I had the Pentax 28/3.5 Shift lens and although it did fine on the K5-IIs it was hopeless on the A7r ... just saying.I bought an Olympus 35mm shift lens for my used 𝛂7 and am mostly happy with it—great coverage, sharpness, and moderate easy-to-correct barrel distortion, but I did not do sufficient research before purchase—it’s single-coated and flares badly in strong backlight. Whilst I can fix much of the flare in post, that adds to processing time of course. Need to look for a multi-coated version. But before doing that, I will acquire a 24mm Olympus or a Pentax 28mm shift (I don’t particularly feel the need for tilt). These mounts are attractive because they will work on a Pentax K-1 which will be in my (destitute pensioner) future! Weight and size will be considerations, along with price.
Yes, I think it completely worthless on the A7r, although with a lot of PP you can sort of get a decent picture out of it. Probably no good to print.Ian, a word of warning: I had the Pentax 28/3.5 Shift lens and although it did fine on the K5-IIs it was hopeless on the A7r ... just saying.
Kind regards.
Hi Teera, It’s a little hard to tell with a part sky image but I do think you may well have got yourself one of the better ones out there :thumbs: congratulations!Despite reading many posts on the Voig 15/4.5 v3 FE mount concerning smearing corner, finally I've decided to get one and see it by myself.

Thanks, it's an eastern blue tongue lizard that lives in our garden. He was warming himself up in the sun.Is that a snake or a lizard ?
I can't tell from the photo.
Whatever it is beautiful shot.

It's not as good as your Choppy Karl but I have seen worse...mine for instance :scry:Hi teeraash, could you please show us 100% corner details. Thanks.
After I did that to my lens I sent it back.
Good luck with your lens.
