Nice shots Phillip. Do you like the FE 16-35?
Yes I do. I Reviewed a loaned 4/16-35 some time ago and the performance is very good. There are a few issues like ghosting and a large size (for an FE lens) but all in all in is a very good lens.
I think the price is a bit too high, at least for a student like me. But Amazon.de had one on offer for 999€ on Prime day (normal price is 1249€) AND they also had a 10% rebate on Sony FE lenses running. So I got it for 870€ which is a very fair price.
Where I live there are no grand views so it sees not that much use. On a trip like the one to the Saxon Switzerland it's flexibility and wideness is worth a lot though and I was very happy to have it with me.

Thanks. You got it for a great price!
I currently don't have anything wider than 25mm. Now that I'm going on a trip to the US next month the FE 16-35 might be something to consider. I'm more used to Zeiss ZE/ZF primes (and their optical performance), but maybe it's versatility and lower weight will make up for the differences in IQ.

You used not only the "like" button, Michiel. You used to shutter button too, methinks!

Thanks for sharing! Is your FD 35/2 the original FD or a New FD? I recently switched from the FD 35/2 SSC I (concave thorium) to the New FD 35/2 and have been pretty happy with everything about it but size and the occasional veiling flare. The New FD 35/2 is pretty impressive - no glow, quite sharp, and contrasty right at f/2. Other than my Contax G 45mm f/2, it's the only f/2 or faster lens I have that is this nice wide open.
I'd love to find a smaller fast 35, but this will do in the mean time. The New FD is pretty light (245g), but I wouldn't mind a more compact lens for something like this. I can definitely see swapping my Contax G 45mm f/2 for a 35/2 if I can find something with similar wide open properties (no glow, good contrast, good sharpness) that manages to be around the same size.

Black and white has never really been my thing, but I've been using it more lately. I started shooting in the B&W creative mode, especially at concerts, as a compositional tool - it have been useful in helping me see the interplay between light and shadow.
I had intended to process my recent B&Ws as color photos, but I find myself prefering the B&W versions for most. I generally like the Sony B&Ws JPEG more than what I get from LR, at least on initial conversion. LR seems to take some tweaking of the color balance to get something more pleasing.

The cathedral tower from a distance
Tired of seeing images of structures?
A different and more modest tower
A little greenery in a courtyard
