thanks very much, Jorge!

Leica is a long story. I got my first Leica, the M9 in 2009 with a defect sensor, got another sensor change last year and will sell it soon.
I love the M Monochrom, it simply is a beauty! The puristic design of the camera is the best I know, the files are great to work with.
And I like the Leica lenses.

but I use the Sony A7R almost 100% since I got it. This is a universal camera for my needs and wishes. I use any lens on it like Nikon, Canon, Leica M, Leica R and enlarging lenses.
Focus for the OTUS or the Zeiss 100/2 for example is easy and perfect.

Let's see, what we will get soon this year :-)

more than 400 portraits are in my flickr album:

Jorge, I did not find the lens in the database - ups, sorry, just found it :-)
but not the new 16-35 FE too?

sorry, I missed that question long time ago :-(
these are stitched images from 9 images of NEX6 with the Rhinocam adapter from fotodioxpro.com with Hasselblad medium format lenses Zeiss Distagon 4/40mm and Zeis Makro-Planar 4/120mm
resulting in about 85 MPix.

you find many more images on my flickr here

in that case the eyes would be in the middle of the image and I like it better this way. The other images shows more of the head.

thanks, Jorge :-)
if you want to get a feeling about the full resolution look here at a 1:1 crop:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/dierktopp/15369399789/

The image is about 16.000x11.000 pixel= 170 MPixel.
these images get alive on a big screen or better on a big print. You can print it 3m wide with 140 DPI!

after many weeks using my infrared converted NEX-7 and the NEX-6 with Hasselblad Zeiss lenses with the Rhinocam adapter I had to "clean up" my MM from all the dust :-)

This is OT but if it of any interest, here is the post about and with the Rhinocam:

thanks, John.
As described for the panorama shots, these white roses I made with the NEX7-IR infrared camera and the Noctilix wide open. From the infrared the leaves in the background are white as well.

I got my NEX7 converted to infrared.
that means, the AA and IR blocking filter are removed and a infrared filter 715nm was installed directly in front of the sensor. And I can only shoot infrared with this camera now!
The sensitivity of the sensor is about the same as without the IR filter, resulting in normal hand held shooting infrared. And you can use all lenses without filter and with AF and/or focus peaking supported!
incredible - if you like this look :)

These images I shot with the panorama function of the NEX7, the image is OOC!! (only resized for the web)

John, I use Nik Silver Efex (since the first beta version) and I love it. If you don't use it, you should give it a try!

thanks for your comments, very much appreciated.
with the 12mm and pointing down that much you have to keep your feet out of the picture :)
