If you have 25minutes, here's the history, science and mathematics of lenses.

Damn you people. Now everyone wants the Batis. Me included.

The 11-24 is super cool, but the 16-35mm is mostly wide for me, and I am thinking I need to retreat back to having a max-image-quality wide lens for landscapes. The TS-E 24 II used to be that lens, but I didn't love its performance on the a7 series. The Loxia 21mm is another compelling idea, but the Batis has some key advantages: AF, f/2, lighter, less distortion. So the Batis could be my go to lens for landscapes where IQ is paramount.

I have been pining for a fast 35mm for a while, but I think I could make do with the Batis 25mm. Might be a stretch, but I'm willing to experiment.

The color and sharpness coming from Carlo and Gene's shots is quite amazing to me. Their images are selling the lens.

You guys miss me? It's been a while, hehe.

Sure! Always happy to see your posts. :)

Sadly I won't be able to run with the Batis big dogs but I did purchase the 21mm adapter for the puppy 28/F2.
I know the reviews are sad about the adapter but I have both adapters for the NEX 16mm and when Nat.Geo
calls me I'll move on a Batis.
In the meantime I'll enjoy the masters work here, so get cracking :)

Which composition do you guys prefer?

This version

or this

#2 for me, the dark section lower right and the clutter upper right take away from the clear subject in the image, the second focuses the attention.

I have noticed that the 11-24 has a ton of distortion on the edges when fully zoomed out...my 17-40L that costs a fraction of that lens is sharper on the corners...

And can you expand on that sentiment about the TSE24II...it is next on my list to aquire...just curious about why it doesn't pair well with the A7x?

I dunno...he said he didn't love its performance on the A7 series...so I wanted to know why...the TSE24II is one of the best lenses I have ever used, its a great piece of kit...maybe I just need to rent it again and see how it works for myself...

I could be wrong but I thought David's issues were with the adapter and light leaks when using the tilt/shift of that lens.

Rain is forecast in the next few days but for now, it's still Indian Summer where I live. This is a single exposure facing into the sun.
