Zeissy, in the picture there is something strange that I thought it was the wave vaporized, but the line is too sharp. It is a stitched image?

Donat, it is not perfect. It vignettes quite a bit wide open, it has some CA wide open, and, on the A7R, corners are not perfect wide open. But it has such qualities that Lloyd Chambers calls it the best lens ever for Leica M. Even compared to my new Otus 55, its art of colouring is peerless. I call my Otus Bertha, after Big Bertha, the greatest cannon that ever was, because that is how it feels, the biggest and baddest. And I call my ZM Audrey, for Audrey Hepburn: wonderful grace and elegance.So good to have both...

Thanks Torralba! Every time I start thinking of selling the A99 and most of my A-mount glass to switch over to the FE mount system I remember that the A99 is a wonderful system. With the right lenses(Zeiss) you can produce world class images. I'm sure the day will come when I jump full boar into the small mirrorless world but for now I'll keep the A99 awhile longer.

I find it a great, really great lens. It set new standards for me, until I tried out the Otus 55, which I should be getting any day now. Having both in my bag will be fantastic

I was a bit skeptical of the RX1 at first but after using it in challenging conditions like Everest I am convinced of its capabilities. Choosing between my D800e or Leica M (both with Zeiss glass) I would pack the Sony RX1 first next time in the Himalayas !

Dalth500, yes, I do live in Oregon. I live in eastern Oregon and was on a photo weekend with a group from Oregon City. We found our way into Wasco along some of the backroads. This was shot in the afternoon and was in the shade, exactly as you described. In the unprocessed image, the colors are quite subtle. I put it through a single image HDR processing (not too heavy handed) and then worked on individual colors to bring them out. Thanks for your compliments on this shot - I really appreciate it, especially from someone who is familiar with the exact location! You must know a lot of great places to shoot around the area. There are some really cool old buildings for sure.
and share it.
