Many thanks Marc. Stunning shots. I have both of those lenses as well.:ROTFL:
OkayDokey ... I'll brave it.
The day after the adapter was delivered I went to a big dog show supporting a local rescue organization. It was very crowded, and most of the subjects were at ground level:banghead:
Perfect "event" test of the AF abilities in conjunction with the A7R-II's tilting LCD (my old knees can't hack it anymore). I took my trusty M-35/1.4 ASPH (non-FLE), and M-75/2AA.
Because it was so crowded with humans most shots were with the 35mm, but I also shot a few with the 75mm to pick out subjects I couldn't get close to ... or in the case of the pet skunk image, didn't want to get close to:ROTFL:
Many of the shots would have been more difficult to pull off with my M rangefinder. The combination of the M lenses with micro-contrast and this sensor is pretty impressive. Now that I can focus faster and more accurately under duress, makes it a dream team ... at least so far.

This is even better than the pet snaps! Bravo! :clap:Well, sarcasm aside, your comments are those of a hobbyist.
Like most folks here who make photos for pay, including Guy, ... I NEVER test new gear on a corporate or event client's dime.
So, I try it out at similar venues and lighting ... be it a good cause like the Pet Rescue event, or some car show, or some street shots.
If it passes muster, then it gets pressed into service on the real thing.
Much as I'd like to, I can't afford the gear and collection of lenses you've touted in past just to shoot as a hobby.
I wondered about this because I change fairly often between two lenses of the same focal length (50mm Noctilux and Mitakon).About setting TA manually for the lens that's installed: Do you have to repeat this when camera is turned off/on, or when lens has been removed/re-installed? Or is the setting sticky until you reset it for another lens?
