Yeah they're kind of hip and cool. So I get why people fall for them. I once did too.

They do look great, but that's not why I miss it. There's something special about the images they produce.

Holding out a bit on the A7R II, will likely purchase it in a month or so depending on the need. I typically don't shoot much in the winter months, it's just too cold for my liking up here in Canada during that period. I' located in Toronto so I'm selling the Makro Planar locally, it's a very nice lens very very sharp, however I now have way more 50ish lenses than I need so I decided to sell it. Glad to hear the IBIS works well stabilizing the view in the finder, it's getting harder and harder to hold the camera steady enough to effectively use magnification.

I had the Apo Sonnar 2/135mm ZE on my a7R II the other day and forgot that I had switched of IBIS on a previous tripod shoot. Painful! Got it switched it back on and what a phenomenal difference: a perfectly smooth EVF experience. You really need the a7R II to get the most enjoyment and comfort out of shooting a lens like that.

400mm just isnt enough for a super closeup of the moon.

as to sensor dust, yeah, always have a blower on you, and keep your bags really clean. I blow the sensor a few times a day.

Nice shot.

My wife actually took this one. From a halloween party we threw last night. Fellow photog friend of mine. That Fuji is a really nice cam!

Nice shots Lucas. Colors look great at high ISO on the a7s. That camera really is special.

As much as I love the FE 28 its when I put the FE 55 back on that I realise the 28 doesnt have that contrasty look I like that you get from zeiss lenses.

I really wish I hadnt cut his feet off in this shot but I like it all the same

The Zeiss lenses are definitely nice, but I honestly don't see much of a difference between them and the FE 28mm. Maybe I'd feel differently if I owned the 55/1.8, but just from browsing samples they honestly don't seem far from each other, although the 28mm has significant distortion and vignetting (neither of which bother me).

Its hard to put my finger on it exactly, its as if I get more of a 3D effect with the 55 than I do with the 28. Like I say though I really like the FE 28 and the distortion and vignette dont bother me either

I feel like that's mostly due to the difference in focal length though. Naturally having more narrow DOF and a more compressed background will make an image "pop" more. Again though, I don't own one for comparison directly, just from observing others shots (yours are great btw )

My first photo session with A7R and Otus 55. I'am impressed about quality of RAW files, DR its amazing.

Gorgeous. Otus 55 and a7R are a fantastic match.
