Thank you Eeraj!Michiel - Lovely, these pictures are just popping out of the screen like high def scenes.

Michiel...your pictures are very great & tempting, the only problem is usd 700 price tag (this one is the cheapest) for the distagon 18/4. My god....the price of legacy manual lens is getting higher and higher. Blame the a7rThank you Eeraj!
There are wide angle alternatives if you like manual focussing
We need a heart imocon …A lot of snow on the South Jersey Coast this year. A7R 35mm FE, polarizer filter, conversion in Silver Efex Pro, Tri-X 120 film emulation. At big enlargements on screen, the grain looks like the real thing.
Thanks

Great picture ! a Bernd and Hilla Becher in color !"Water Tower 2"
This one is converted to a private home
TSE 24/3.5 II L , 10mm upshift, small tripod - I love the TSE on the A7R

The posterization in the sky is due to JPEG compression!
That's just delightful, Tim. Really like it.One from a very long dog walk today...
The whole zoom vs prime thing seems to be a quite personal predilection. I've never gotten comfortable with zoom, particularly mid-range zooms, I guess because when I work with a lens for a while, I begin to see the world in terms of its FoV limitations, and that translates directly into what I make exposures of. With zooms this become significantly more complex unless I simplify and just use one or another focal length setting all the time ... and then why would I carry the additional weight and deal with the slower speed?I find when I take an interchangeable lens setup on walking holidays I tend to stick with one lens - it never seems a good moment to swap them, and as soon as I do, I shoot three frames and then went to change again. I just get more good pictures with a good zoom, even if each individual picture is not as technically good as it would have been with a prime. ...
Thanks for all these infos, I appreciate. Mm.. I've got to make some research on this water tower transformation. I'm sure it has been published in some architecture review. I have already seen churches and railways station transformed in homes, but not yet a water tower.Thanks,
no i did not own the first TSE, from reviews i have read the II is supposed to be much better than the first version.
With the Metabones Smart II adapter the lens works perfect for me on the A7r.
Unfortunately i had never used it that much on my 5DMKII : The combination was just to big and bulky for me. Now, though not really small with the A7, i can take the TSE with me in a smallish bag with 2 other lenses with no problems. BTW used as a regular 24 (with no tilt or shift) it is just perfect.
The home in the tower is great!
The tower was converted by two architects that live and work there, i have seen the inside published in a local newspaper when they opened their office.
There where no regular windows allowed in the body of the tower (they found a lot of surprising solutions for that problem). The top story with 360 degree windows is just spectacular.
They could be happy, to be allowed to build the elevator to the outside of the tower...
