Well thank you then. Sorry I am a little slow at times.

........But, like the young pretty women that go by, I can't pay for the overhead!

I was asking myself if I was looking at both pictures and I couldn't see the slight difference. But was this difference - if glimpsed - a result of the lens or of my own eyes ?

About the quotation of Wilde. When I was today walking to have a coffee at the cafeteria, I was thinking that the context of the quote was missing as - I assume - Wilde wouldn't be - perhaps - so selfish as not to want the good for other citizens. I hope to make myself understand.
....
Rest assured my friend, that companions and/or husbands of young pretty women are mostly of the criminal variety.
Fahim, when I posted these images I was not sure about their differences. Really, honestly.
In fact, I can hardly see any difference between them.
I do have other photographs with this lens but I would not like to publicly show them. They are all of my great son ...
Teach me how to distinguish one photograph from the other will you please ?
I am two days away from buying an Oly. I mean... I was !
The choice of the lens is very important now that I will be slowly moving to 4/3 .
Thank you Fahim, Robert and Asher for the written lines.
At this point I am still hesitating about which lens but I think I will go for the zoom. If I moved to mFT is because the system is smaller and lighter.
I will keep my Canon equipment for the time being for more "serious" photographs.
Perhaps one day I will be able to able the A7 with the Leica lens... Refurbished perhaps.
Regards and thank you again !
Thank you Asher. I will take your point in consideration.
As you perhaps will remember I have L lenses from Canon and a 7 - whichever it may be - is a way to keep them instead of spending lots of money in new ones.
Antonio Correia;159315 Today I have been looking at a Leica. Then said:
Antonio,
It's the lens here that's distinguished and will hold its value for the next 20 years. The body, however is pretty disposable. In 3 years time it will be dated. Put this lens on an A7II and you now have the beast vibration stabilized and the image arriving at, likely as not, one of the most well made high dynamic range sensors one can buy.
Or, take advantage of the high MTF of the lens and use it on the higher resolution A7R and enjoy wonderful pictures that can be printed very large, a fashion that folk will pay for.
The next point is that one can use the superb but less well know lenses with amazingly fabulous Bokeh, any of those in Klaus' thread on "Spring" shooting. Some are just a $150 on Ebay and others much more but for a fraction of the price of the Leica one can have lenses of amazing quality, as long as one can buy a mount for that lens. Well it so happens that I have obtained a number of the lenses Klaus has showcased and mounted them with readily obtainable adapters as a lot of them have standard Pentax other common mounts.
There are of course, fabulous lenses that need a machinist to adapt, but then that could cost $400 to $2,000 but your lens will hold its value for ever.
As it is, I commonly use the following on my A7R
- Contax Distagon f4.0 18mm
- Canon FD 21mm A Stellar performer
- *Canon 24mm T/S
- **Canon 24-105mm 4.0 L
- Sony 35mm 1.8 lost!
- 55mm Zeiss made for Sony 1.8 magic lens
- Many German, 50mm or so, Aus Jena lens for beautiful macro work
- Pentax 135mm superb lens
- **Canon 50mm 1.2L hardly ever as the Zeiss 55 mm is so perfect!
- **Canon 100mm Macro
- **Canon 70-200 2.8L IS II with 1.4X or 2X Canon tel-extender
* electronic data transmission to the Sony Camera
**AF and Image Stabilization too
Here's the deal, the lens writes, the sensor reads and the software interprets. While I'd love the Leica, if I took that step, I'd be getting the S3 MF camera instead.

Thank you again Asher and Fahim !
The infos provided by Asher regarding the use of Canon lenses on A7R are useful and important !
