A7RII with Minolta AF Reflex 500mm/F8 and 1.4X tele converter on Manfrotto tripod. Converted and cropped in LR6.

Shot last night shortly after the lunar eclipse when the clouds finally have disappeared....

That's what I see! Very real-looking image!

Is that leftover eclipse blush upper left?

Thank you.
Indeed, quite several MF users incl. myself went for the A7R II after the substantional price drop earlier this year.
IMHO by far the best you can get in this price range.

The atmosphere seems not very clear at your shot, I have seen better shots made with APS-C camera!

Atmospherics can definitely play a role. As for APS-C, I've managed some very sharp images of the moon with my NEX 7, but the key is to have a great lens in order to maximize the detail. I've also found that detail is better if I capture the moon one day before or one day after a full moon. This is because during a full moon there are not many shadows -- it's just sort of flat. But just before or just after, shadows are more evident. The shadows provide greater contrast, and improve the image, I've always felt.

You are absolutely right.
However, on this particular day I tried to shoot the eclipse which unfortunately wasn't possible due to clouds in between. Therefore I was happy to see the moon at all finally.
Anyway, the used camera/lens combination is obviously quite capable for moon shots and I'll certainly try it again under better conditions.
