This aperture series at relatively close range complements Pines in Heavy Snowstorm, which was taken at medium-far distance.

There is no equivalent performer from Canon or Nikon or Sony or Zeiss at ~180mm. The ease of shooting the 180/2.8 APO on the A7R II is unrivalled by any adaptation to a DSLR and the EVF is a huge help. Shooting in heavy snow is so much easier on the A7R II with its EVF—what a terrific 'carry and shoot' combination.
