This is a link to the location which is about a mile from my house. It gives an idea of the extensiveness of the harbour which was originally proposed by William Bligh (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame). https://www.google.com/maps/@53.299226,-6.1436816,3a,75y,146.83h,60.06t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sAF1QipOOls83KqQhCnVV84NKbpq00ginIxvEXn51J8Nv!2e10!3e11!7i7680!8i3840?entry=ttu I have a number of Fotodiox adapters for the Sony, but they can be hit and miss - even using peaking at its max. I mainly use my newer Sony lenses. Two fishing boats on Trader's Wharf at inner Coal Harbour, Dun Laoghaire. Sony A7II with 55mm Sonnar. Can be seen larger. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Tied+Up.jpg.html Kayaks pretending they are breaching whales, Coal Harbour, Dun Laoghaire. Sony A7II with 55mm Sonnar. Can be seen larger. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Breaching.jpg.html Lit up by a sudden shaft of sunlight, the Irish Customs cutter Faire with its rib sits moored at the marina outside of the Coal Harbour in Dun Laoghaire. In the background, you can see Howth peninsula which is about 5 miles away across Dublin Bay. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Faire+-+Irish+Customs+boat+with+baby.jpg.html Sony A7II with an old Pentax fit Miranda 70-210mm f4 Macro zoom lens. I think I used f5.6 for the shot. Can be seen larger. Douglas
