Thanks, Barry. The Tokina was given to me by a kind friend in my Pentax days, but it never sat well with the K bodies. I'm glad I kept it, because it does play well with the A7R.Paul, the 17mm Tokina works really well on the A7R.
That black and white has the look of good old film with either a red or orange filter added at the taking stage as opposed to PP.
I like the tonality of all three, but I particularly like #3.Barley Fields - Toned in Nik SE Pro2 and then blended with the original colour image..
Paul...Many thanks also Re: #3...The Barley white clouds with the blue sky didn't work out as I was hoping for in #1, it looks flat and muddy IMO.Thanks, Barry.

I came to photography too late to have worked at all seriously with film: SFX pro seems to have eliminated the need... [runs for cover! ]

Ah, we have a new theme here! Good one!
I understand Barry, you have to save up for all those cheap lenses you have been buying latelyMany thanks Michiel, I will let you start the ball rolling then
I can't afford the fuel to keep my engine running for a quick getaway if this is turning into a theme!
Cheers Barry
Hi Michiel - thanks! I seem to be in the minority when it comes to the FE 24-70. I really like it, and get consistently good results with it. It's well balanced on my a7r and it makes a particularly nice combination when walking about...also nice to have the stabilization for handheld shots. There are certainly better options for both ends of the lens, but I'm quite happy with performance between 28 and ~65. I think one thing that has left a sour taste for some on the 24-70 is there appears to be an unfortunate amount of sample variation. Pretty happy with mine, but I know a fair number of folks have had to go through multiple copies to get a good one, or have simply given up.Nice shot Douglas! How do you like 24-70 FE. Any major cons?
I am thinking to pick up this lens for traveling when I am in New York in september.
Michiel, you have sussed me out!:cussing::cussing::cussing: - I really can’t afford any of that heavyweight exotic apo-donut glass, that you and Godfrey are lugging around (or even the Sherpa's to carry it on my behalf :dh2.I understand Barry, you have to save up for all those cheap lenses you have been buying lately
Looks like something that Bones cured in the original Star Trek series...
I feel so sorry for you Barry, that you have to put up with those old winebottles :scry:
Me, I only drink those modern wines and I must say on the other hand, that they lack a certain kind of character
