I have the same adapters for my Nikon macro and a few m42 50ish lenses. I'll admit I don't use it as much as I thought I would, but for those 3 lenses I paid the same that a Fuji 60 macro would be. Can't complain at all.
nice strap, I have a joby one that I use with my x-t1 and it works well. I thought about getting the leather ones from Broadway but I think I'm good for now

A quick review... focus is fast on this 35mm. I had the Nikon 35G and Canon 35L before, and I never thought they had good focusing speed. The Sony ZA is definitely faster. (I had D700/800 and 5D/6D as body)
Love the 3D pop that it carries; a signature on Zeiss lenses. I guess Sony managed to copy that as well or Zeiss really shared a trick or two with Sony rather than simply licensing the name.
Also did a few shots at F4~F8 to see the maximum resolution. It seems to peak at around F4~F5.6. I didn't seen much improvement afterwards and diffraction starts to kick in at F11 onward.

the A7R II was announced today
Quote:
which features a new 42.4 megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor that can shoot at up to ISO 102,400.
Sony says the new camera has a new shutter that reduces vibration by up to 50 percent, and it has the Silent Shooting mode from the other A7 models. The autofocus system has 399 focal plane phase detection points, which work with 25 contrast detect points to focus 40 percent faster than the original A7R.
The A7R II also benefits from the same 5-axis image stabilization system that first debuted in the A7 II
The viewfinder on the A7R II has been updated to a XGA OLED unit with more magnification than before, and the camera has the same Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity of Sony's other A7 models. Sony says this camera was designed to provide photographers with both high-sensitivity and high-resolution shooting without having to make a compromise as they had to in the past.
Sony did not disappoint!
I was worried it'd only be an incremental upgrade like from a7 to a7ii..yeah FF mirrorless is still in infancy but when you factor in there's no other players and yet it's still making massive strides like these, impressive that it ticks so many boxes. T* coating on the eyepiece is overkill haha.
aside from battery life and lower burst than a $600 A6000, this camera will likely remain relevant for years
When moving to Fuji I said that it was a must-buy lens to replace my 85 1.8/135L that I had on FF. After buying the camera and my other must-buy lens (XF23 1.4), buying the 56 became a lower-priority up until I felt that I could get by with some legacy 50-55mm lenses from SMC-Tak/Canon.
That brought me to Canada when a buddy who just bought a 56 let me try it. I can report back that it's probably the best lens I've tried in the Fuji lineup (to be fair, the only ones I haven't tried personally are the new pro zooms which look like beasts). It is achingly sharp at 1.2 (yeah yeah I know it's really ~1.8 DOF-wise, but it's miles ahead of my old EF85 1.8 wide open).
I'm so close to selling everything but my 23 (kit zoom, macro, tele zoom) to fund a 56. It's so good that I'm running out of superlatives to describe it.
I always think of replacing my 23 with a 35 and adding a 14 and 56, but I use my 23 95% of the time (lots of family gatherings indoors) so I can't bring myself to replace it. 14 and 23 for some reason seems so close to me even though they aren't, so I haven't had an itch to pick it up just yet.
Just a thought about street photography in Vancouver...it's non-existent. Does anyone else feel like our city just doesn't...do that? I mean, the only time there are people out on the streets is when there's an event happening downtown and that doesn't feel very organic. What is it about New York or Hong Kong that makes every person feel like a character while everyone here just feels...ordinary?
Anyone going to the Abby Airshow next week? F-22 demo! I've always wanted to see one flying and never have, so i think i'll be there next week Friday. Excited!

I'll be there on Sunday in the Runway seating area with some Nikon NPS sponsored gear: a pair of D4s, a D810, 400mm f2.8VRII, 500mm f4 VRII & 600mm f4 VRII. ...and probably my own Canon gear with 1DX, 5D3, 100-400mm mkII & 600mm f4L if I can find more friends to carry shit.
