Finally got out with A7 II and some lenses :D

Woke at 6AM, and was out the door in twenty minutes with the A7 II + 90mm, 55mm and Samyang 14mm.

So far, quite happy with them all.

This will be slightly pic heavy, and wanted to share serveral samples of each.

I know I mucked up on some of these a bit, underexposing, etc, but I'll get better...

On the Samyang, actually nice little lens, but think being full manual and unable to fit filters will grate on me soon.

I know there is a lot here, so obviously not asking anyone to critique them all, but if there is anything I need my hands slapped for, let me know!

First up Samyang 14mm

Oops, quoted instead of edit.

It's a shame about the washed out sky on most of them.

00328 - you should clone out the distracting bit on the bottom right and tot the left of the stalk.

00255 - best of the bunch imo. nice abstract.

Yeah, wasn't much I could do about the sky unfortunately. Didn't have filters to fit any of these lenses (a moot point on the 14mm).

Hopefully if I wake up early tomorrow it won't be as grey.

Still, it was mostly just about getting out and testing the lenses to make sure all were ok.

Didn't notice anything to be worried about with any of them.

Have subsequently gone for a walk through to Richmond with the 24-240mm and was really just using it as a snap anything lens. Just about to go through all those photos now.

Some snaps with 24-240mm, including obligatory duck shot

Couple more Sony 90mm as I wanted to test the Hoya CPL I had to see if it affected quality. Seems ok.
