So good to see the old cat again, was getting worried.
Would love a file of my cat smuggling days in Norfolk, if you still have it.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Few more holiday snaps with the A7R and 28-70. Am also using the Macro Elmar F4 90mm, which is utterly stellar and the best travel short tele imaginable. Will post some later.

Winter grapes. It was -18C and winds of 50 kph when I recorded this.
A7r, FE55, f4, 1/800

Lovely snow shots from Cunim and Paulo - I am so envious. I love shooting snow a lot more than beaches... but I'd rather be on a beach. Hmmm.

Amazing to believe that the first and second images are from the same lens! Regarding the first shot I used to have to stitch with pro lenses and bracket to get close to the resolution, tonality and DR I'm now getting from a single handheld shot with a 50 year old lens at iso 5000. Fraction of the PP time too. It's a pain in the neck camera much of the time but I've rarely enjoyed shooting more...

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

So, let's go to the beach . . . put the Leica 80-200R lens on the A7 and see if it's possible to get shots of the dogs haring around at 100mph . . . . .

Matty flying

Gotcha

Caspar's Revenge

Shall we stop fighting and get that Spaniel?

DriftRope
​

Upshot is that I got a really good focusing hit rate (all shot at f4) Camera turned to shutter priority to try and catch the action . . . . It works, and it works well.

Hi David
She's fine - nearly 14, but showing no signs of age - she's subdued the new puppy and still spends much of her time in boxes and bags. Can you remember when it was you came (and I'll see what I can find).

Wonderful shots Ben.

You would change your mind in 5 minutes - yesterday I was thankful for global warming

Sorry Jonathan, it's against my policy to 'Like' cat pictures

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Another quick one from that shoot. Same lens, f1.4

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Loads of lovely imagery in this thread.
This camera seems a cut above the rest.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

No longer snowed in, but now the below zero windchill kept me indoors. Just playing around with focusing the Rokinon 14mm at near MFD (11 inches) on the A7R.

Grenada. Been to Barbados so often that a change was in order and what a good move that was!

Tim, I used to work on charter boats based out of there. Loooong time ago

Whew, glad you labeled the last pic Jono ... at first glance I thought it might be the remains of that Spaniel

Sigh, such warm serenity. Well done :thumbup:.

Brings back fond memories of many weeks spent visiting various Caribbean islands. Anguilla being one of my favs.

(Meanwhile, back at the ranch ... record cold here and buried in white stuff.)

Leave for Miami tomorrow AM ... Thank God!

Thank you Marc... I had a massive Rum Punch this evening and it has left me feeling warm and serene... Enjoy Miami, hope it is warm there? Try the Soho Beach House for lunch. It is really a very cool place!
