Thank you Tim!

I'll bet that view of Plaine du Rhône would be spectactular in the Spring as well.

It's been awhile but I had the chance to revisit the March Field Museum in Riverside County today. The last time I was there, I was with a buddy that was a bombardier on one of these over Japan during WWII.

So far, my Canon 17-40L is becoming my favorite lens to use with the Sony a7r.

By the way, I use the x-rite color checker passport to make a Lightroom color profile for my a7 today and I am very pleased with the color rendition of the a7 now. I had had some concerns about certain colors (some of my skies were looking very cyan), but the color profile fixes that to my satisfaction.

Just order X-Rite and more to learn!
Can't wait to see more from the OTUS.

Just found out the stories about this No. 49 during its time in Pacific Theater! Thanks for the photos!!

You're welcome. My buddy did his bombardier training on B-17's although it may have been a "D" model rather than an "G".

Had another shoot at the John Varvatos headquarters to shoot Fall Fashion 2014 line.

These are a few behind the scenes shots taken with my Sony A7 + Canon 50mm FL 50mm f/1/4 (@1.4 and f/2)....

1. My "Money Maker"; Canon 5D MKIII

Wow, some terrific shots lately!

Tim: Love your architectural work lately; it's a great subject for winter shooting.

Jean-Marc: Amazing landscapes; must be fantastic to have such incredible scenery nearby!

Gene: Supercool airplane captures; they all look wonderful. The light is just better where you are!

David: Beautiful shots from that fashion setting! I really like that first shot if the shoes.


The weather was unseasonably nice in KC today (low 60s F), so I had a good outing with both a7 and 5D III today (hope to post some tomorrow). I love both cameras, but there's no question about it: when it comes to manual focusing, nothing is better than the a7 and a7R. On the 5D III I rely on the focus confirmation light and beep, and it is reasonably accurate at medium distances, but I get focusing errors on closer subjects. I'm not getting many errors with the a7 though.

Thanks David...really not in my wheelhouse, but I struggle this time of year. Hoping for an early spring.

Thank you David. Yes, I feel lucky to be so close to the heart of the Alps, quite some stunning areas around. I miss the US for the cityscaping though

Some awsome images on this page.

David T, I really like the dark tones used on the leather goods.

X-tan, beautiful marina and super capture of it.

Jean-Marc, I'll repeat myself...great landscape photography.

David A, I love your architectural photography. I wish I had buildings like that in my area.

Thanks, Jean-Marc, David & Gene!

Love the shoots from the OTUS, David!!

Checking some of my old shoots from a7R & 5D3, a7R can get lots more 'detail' from those overcast clouds so easy, but 5D3 just struggle as this shot:

http://www.flickr.com/​photos/x_tan/119770470​86/

So I'll use my 5D3 for anything move; but a7R for most the landscape shoots.

BTW I sold my 5D2 over the weekend, now the zoom is on the market; next will be most the L prime.

Hi. As I am still waiting for my A7r, can someone recommend some cheap adapter from eBay? I,ve sent many messages to sellers, but all they reply is: it fits e mount, without confirming FF compatibility.
