Hi guys, Am new to the club - got my A7 last week (some upgrade from the old Eos 300d!). Took her for a maiden voyage on Thursday, here's a couple of snaps (both from the Zeiss 50mm prime). In retrospect I should have dropped the ISO a couple of steps in the first shot but we live and learn...

Another muso, but bass here: Also computer programming and electronics. The dream one day is to design a valve amp from the ground up (excuse the pun!).

Bmw 318 ci... Very impractical car that has more leaks than a grocery shop, but handles dreamily and love the power at high and low revs from the VANOS.
