Sony A7x lounge

View of Yorba Linda and mountains captured this morning. First with the Sigma 35/1.4.
Then, because the snow-capped mountain is an unusual look for us these days, with the FD 300/4.
Had to cut through a lot of haze with the latter. But LR's dehaze did a fairly decent job of it.
Notice that the mountain is barely visible in the first pic, but quite imposing to the naked eye, hence my switching to 300mm.

love the colours and excellent sharpness on his face

I was shooting with an EOS 135/2 this afternoon. I have to say I like rendering of the Sony 135 better.
Great image.

I managed to talk my daughter into posing for me. A7RII and Samyang/Rokinon 135 @f/2.

Really impressive long distance work.

Love my FE 90 macro...

It was getting to be late afternoon and my daisies were closing up for the day.

Hey guys, anyone keeps using their GND filters on the Sony a7x cameras?

I do. What's the issue? In 99% of the situations, all my settings are manual (MF, Manual mode) when using GND so no surprises.

I forget if I already posted there from last week.

ooh boy. awesome sky and capture.

Yeah, I'm using them quite a lot as well but not sure if it is not just a force of habit more than anything. I was thinking about switching from my little and big stoppers to the breakthrough photography round 6stop and 10stop filters and in this scenario the rest of my lee filters would have to go..

Gave my new Samyang 85mm f/1.4 a try today. I've never really done portraiture before as I've always been a landscape/wide angle guy, but I'm starting to also enjoy photography people and it offers a new challenge for me.

This was taken wide open:

So my journey to find lenses for the A7R II continues. Today, the Fotodiox Pro adapter arrived to convert my last remaining Canon lens, the 24-70 f/4 IS. I tried the Metabones IV T, and quite frankly I wasn't that impressed given the $400 price.

I was surprised to find out that the Fotodiox one works really well (perhaps better than the MB) with the 24-70 f/4 IS lens on my A7R II. It seems like it needed a bit of time to "learn" the lens and from that point on, seems to nail focus everytime even near the perimeter of the AF frame. I had my Canon glass for sale, and this was the last lens remaining, so now I think I'm going to keep it. I also plan to use the adapter on my Sigma 35 f/1.4 Art until the new Sigma MC-11 ships.

I tried the Sony/Zeiss 35mm f/1.4, but too much purple fringing and the Sigma was way less expensive with a recent promo for the lens and adapter. While the Sigma lenses are fairly large, there is no disputing their optical quality and fairly reasonable price.
