A fascinating teardown! :bugeyes:

LensRentals.com - Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens Teardown

I think I'll wait for the next generation of this particular lens.
However, if I had already a perfectly centered copy I would definitely keep it!
No doubt Sony has an excellent opportunity here to improve their copy variation.

Many thanks to Roger Cicala and the other folks at LensRentals!

K-H, There was a mini discussion about SLOG2 profile earlier.

Set the shutter to the silent mode and then check if it is available at a lower ISO. :)

Yesterday (and today) we had glorious weather like this.




Perfect for some Sandhill Cranes to start their yearly migration north.
First an image resembling as it looked to the naked eye.
The cranes are noisy and easy to hear but sometimes very difficult to spot when flying fast at great heights.



And after some processing in COP9 to make the birds stand out.



A7r2 + FE 90/2.6 MACRO G

Here we can see several groups of cranes, just a few minutes apart, using the same thermal to gain height, right over our house. :grin:
After having reached tremendous height, flying in formation north, until they need to gain height again in another thermal.
The cranes like days with lots of thermals, i.e. sunny weather, and are flying particularly fast in fierce tailwinds.
The over 10,000 cranes spread out the start of their migration by about a month. Their flight path varies at our location by about 10 miles.
From the Rio Grande to the Jemez Mountains, and when we get lucky, straight above our house. :thumbs:

The Crane Sculpture in front of the Library is cast from an Origami. Following is the explanation.



On Display in the Entrance Way of the Library is the Unfolded Design.



The Crane Sculpture cast from the above Folded Origami.



The Cave inside the yellow Protrusion in the above Image.



Looking from the Cave along the Windows to the Right.



Now Looking across the Library Collections. On the Opposing Side are 3 Rooms that offer Privacy for Discussions.



Now Looking along the left Wall towards the Entrance.



In the above Image the Door to this Side Room is open.

Turkey Vultures (TuVus) approaching their Roost. Several TuVus already settled down for the Night (Bottom Middle).

Near the Bandelier National Monument entrance. The fence prohibits access to Department of Energy land utilized by the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The deer can easily jump the fence and hide in that area during the day and come out in the evening to feed at night along the road.
