David,
amazing IQ with the TSE, how do you focus, simple peaking?

Thank you! Yes, I used focus peaking. Makes things so much easier with using the TS-E handheld.

wow super sharp. popping colors. did you used tripod on those?

Thanks! Tripods are frequently forbidden in public interior spaces, so I just shot all handheld. I used the widest aperture on the second one, rested the camera on a railing for the third, and underexposed on the fourth as varying strategies for getting sharp shots.

I like that I can intentionally underexpose interior shots with the a7R and successfully recover in post without additional shadow noise.

Kansas State Capitol Building (first one with Otus 55mm, remainder with TS-E 24mm):

Really love the use of tilt on this one. I'm usually occupied with getting the verticals true by using the shift and tilt is only a secondary manipulation in order to keep most of the building/wall plane in focus. This really is an eye-opening shot.

Thanks! I wanted to do a couple of things with that shot: 1. shoot wide-open at f/3.5 to minimize shutter speed (and lower ISO), 2. draw a continuous plane of focus that extends from the lower stair up to the upper balcony railing.

This was the first time I actually had the tilt at an angle (to align with the stair). Unfortunately it threw my verticals out of wack. On a tripod I can usually make the necessary shift compensations, but that proved too complex for this handheld shot. So, the verticals were corrected in Capture One.

another with the TS-E 24 II:

Yes, gorgeous.

And about that interior architecture, i bought TS-E 24 and TS-E 17 for architecture as first main reason then for outdoor and landscapes as another reasons, and i couldn't find words to describe the beauty shots of that architecture.

Only when I switched to Sony did I understood and appreciate the power of high dynamic range sensors. Look at the highlights recovery here.

Shooting raw with dslrs really opened my eyes a few years ago. The Sony sensors have taken it a notch further IMO.

This Sony is like a Mini or baby medium format.
