that is what I call a well edited monochrome with full black and whites and not a mushy grey affair with no contrast. Very nice image

Thanks, it's one bit of advice that has stuck with me - that black and white photos better have some actual black and white in them! ;-)that is what I call a well edited monochrome with full black and whites and not a mushy grey affair with no contrast. Very nice image

Before February fades away, here's a quick snap from yesterday's hike. Nothing spectacular, just another example of why I still like the cheap Tokina 17mm f/3.5 fitted to the E-M1 with the Speed Booster, resulting in a 12mm f/2.4 lens (24mm equiv.) that's far from being excellent, but contrasty and actually quite sharp in the centre and at least ok-ish in the corners when significantly stopped down.
Cheers,
Robert

This has been a quite mild winter in South West of France.
Biarritz is one of my favourite places to drive to in fair weather conditions.
Again another one with Tamron Adaptall 2 model 04B (200mm F/3.5) shot at F/5.6

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

I've been experimenting recently with adapting the Zeiss Biogons to the A7R2 using "corrective" front filters to address the smearing issue that is present with the Biogons on the A7 series.

OK, I'll bite. Which "corrective filters have you tried, and how have they fared?
I ask as I have a Zeiss Contax Rangefinder Biogon 35mm that I really like and wouldn't mind improving its performance.

It depends on the lens in question, for the Zeiss Biogon 25 ZM you can use either the Proxar 1m closeup lens filter or a Hoya +1, either one will improve the corners of that lens significantly. For the Distagon 35 1.4 ZM we use the OptoSigma 5000PM plano-convex. There is a great summary at : https://phillipreeve.net/blog/rangefinder-wide-angle-lenses-on-a7-cameras-problems-and-solutions/ or you can also check out the thread on the Fred Miranda site in the Sony forum.
Pretty interesting stuff.

I looked at basket image 'original size' and I could be entirely wrong but i looks to me like depth of field is also a lot greater than it should be for f1.7. I'm not familiar at all with your lens but i know on my 50mm f1.7 i've gone to focus and inadvertantly turned the aperture ring (more with gloves on for cold - and doesn't look cold in your shot, so...)
just a thought
those are really nice sunstars btw
