Thank you
Actually I think after f/10 this lens starts to suffer from diffraction quite a bit so I'm trying to reach a compromise between sharpness and depth of field :/ What would you have liked to have more in focus?

I see... well looks fine small but if you see it full size the cliff at the end gets a bit soft.

Anyways it's nitpicking, I guess it was more of a suggestion for the future, but if that particular lens suffers from diffraction then I guess it's fine to shoot like this.

Plus not using a FF sensor gives you more dof to start with

Yep it's true, I'd kind of love to get a full-frame sensor for street and portraiture work though... But if the Nex 9 does come out and I do get rich, it might be my next camera (yeah I know, it's the photographer not the camera that matters, but it's been a very very long time since I got myself a new toy so I would be excited about that one )

As far as this particular lens is concerned, I think the ideal aperture is somewhere around f/8 but it's true that for this kind of images it might be more important to get it all in focus rather than pixel-peeping the sharpness, so I'll definitely experiment with it next time!

Btw, I'm browsing your gallery at this very moment, and it's absolutely terrific! You earned yourself a new fan

Well sometimes a nice tool can inspire you to be more creative or dare more... so I understand you

And I'd be interested too in a FF Nex-9 if they'll ever make one

As for portraits you know a FF can make a difference coupled with a nice lens.

Are you browsing my gallery, really? ;D

You're really being too kind, thanks so much!
