What software do you use for focus stacking? You're on a Mac, if memory serves.
And how are you able to shoot multiple shots of this flower without it moving (from ambient wind or what have you).
I've yet to try my hand at focus stacking.

Photoshop. You're right it's moving but Photoshop did a very excellent job aligning all.

my iMac is only 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, 16GBRam and AMD Radeon HD 512MB Display Card but it works.

Found a small annoyance with the a7rii. If you are in AF-C and attach a manual lens you can't switch to AF-S and therefore can't focus magnify.

Last night I went out with the TSE 24 II attached and no other lenses and since I couldn't switch to AF-S I couldn't focus magnify to focus the lens. Seems odd that you can do it in AF-S and not AF-C even though its in manual focus in both situations and the AF option is greyed out

if you are in AF-C from a native lens, then when you attach manual focus lens, you cannot switch it AF-S?

Blossoms.

My Canon FD20mm F2.8 S.S.C. is just fine for my landscape stuff.

Wow vinz, first one is fantastic! That FD20 seems to be great! Canon made some fantastic lenses back in the days, im very happy with my 35mm TiltShift S.S.C.

i tried it and it focus magnify.

I first attached my FE90 and switched it to AF-C. removed it and attached my Canon FD20mm S.S.C.... i didn't have to change my AF type because it automatically detect an all manual lens. tried the focus magnify and it works.

Did you meant when you use your TSE 24 II with a metabone? it won't switch to AF-S?

Thanks. Yah it really works for me especially that landscape is not really my top favorite genre.

I'm very close to making it my next purchase. I love my CV 35/1.7, but I would like a 35 with AF.
I've read a lot about the sigma's sharpness, but have also heard its bokeh isn't all that great. Any Thoughts on that?

Why dont you try out the new techart adapter with AF support for M mount lenses? Its surely not a perfect solution but AF seems to be reasonably fast, and as this lens anyways appeals to you why not try it out? These days we should take advantage of te cool new techs out there

Correct. If you are in AF-C with a native lens or an adapted AF lens you cannot switch it to AF-S after you attach a manual lens (and therefore can't focus magnify)

Yes. When I had my tse attached with metabones it was still in AF-S but it was greyed out and I couldn't change it. I then tried to focus magnify and it said you can't in that mode

Ill check again tonight when I'm home with some of my other manual lenses

I wonder if its because the TSE lens still has electronic contacts for aperture control? It might think its not a manual lens and not auto switch to AF-C

Since you asked about the Sigma Art 35. Please excuse me for two reasons...

1. Sexy pics
2. Canon 5D3 shots

All wide open...

Excuse the non Sony photos from me too but here are a few wide open shots for reference. The bokeh never bothered me on this lens but can look busy in certain situations. I will be re-purchasing this lens this year

Eddie, maybe try unmounting the lens from the metabones adapter with the adapter attached to the camera. Then reattach. Do this with the camera off. I've had similar issues with my canon 16-35.
