Hi Ng, agree wholeheartedly...I was much happier in the past manual focusing my Leica 35mm and 50mm M Summilux's set at f1.4 for close up street photography than ever using the faster Rokkor 58mm set at F1.2, the Rokkor becomes much sharper by F2 but some of that lovely bokeh has now disappeared and at that point I would now much prefer to use my Sony 55mm F1.8 FE instead for this type of work.Hi Barry,
Trying to nail the focus at f1.2 is not easy. I used to have the F1.0 Noctilux and I had a hard time trying to shoot wide open. Anyway, I decided the f1.0 image was not my cup of tea and decided to sell the lens with a good profit.
In some ways, I envy you and others that have nearby access to great landscape locations. I have to travel to faraway places to capture these images. This May and June I will be in the UK and I will travel to the Isle of Skye to shoot some landscapes.
Wonderful shots Barry. BTW the ZM35/2 shoots pretty well on A7r.mod and A7.modThe ZM 25mm Biogon was a big disappointment on the FF A7R.
More from my Lisbon catalogue. A7R + FE55

Thanks Michiel, It will take some time for me to join the "fun with A7" thread, so am trying to spruce a bit of life into this general Sony thread. Barry and a few others are playing along nicely. Not as active as the other thread though.You have a nice pictural conversation over here gentlemen!
I'm waiting for the a7S II :toocool:Waiting for the big pixel A9, I suppose
