I like this one two.
Quick question to you: I already have FE 16-35mm F4.0 and appreciate it a lot. Will I get much more bang for the
buck with Loxia 21mm F2.8 which seems to be such a lovely lens? Cheers.

Have not used the 16-35 for a while. It's, at least my copy, a great lens....

Is the Loxia better, yes a bit (see Ronny's words). Do you NEED it: No !
I would go for the VC 10 instead of the Loxia as a companion of the 16-35.

Cheers

Peire, do you have any wideopen shots with the CY MMJ 25/2.8. Really interested in the bokeh mid distance.

Unfortunately I don't have any 25/2.8 CY MMJ picture of that kind.Only stopped down.

Rene ,Werner, Fred or Bob ... think Charles has both also ? Have not tested 16-35 f4 FE
advantage of Sony's is Zoom, AF ... Loxia 21 benefits is a little smaller size... f2.8 if you need it ... mirco contrast, color, awesome Sunstar effect .. etc

+1

I love the Loxia 21 for travel. otherwise full support for the words of Ronny and Werner.

René

my loxia 21 is the time in repair. falling damage

Thank you gentlemen for your insightful comments and suggestions.

By the way, this is such a great thread: apart from exceptionally good photos, people
are helpful, constructive and never ever use abusive words.

Trying out astrophotography

This picture features the Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 but I just ordered the Samyang 24mm f/1.4, hoping to get a good copy of that lens. Let' see!

I have both and while I just never hesitate to use the zoom, I just love the loxia 21. It renders differently from the zoom. Where the zoom certainly produces wonderful images, the Loxia has that Zeiss character, is richer in color rendition, color separation and micro contrast. But I'm mostly a prime shooter. I have the zoom for those times when I want to minimize my kit and need AF (social gatherings). But if I'm shooting a landscape, I prefer the Loxia. Hope this helps.

Morning on the lake once again. It's a cool crisp morning that says fall is not far off.

These are images of crested quetzal, the most colorful bird in Central America. We had to wake up very early to be up in their habitat in the highland to catch this bird during their "breakfast". They feed on the small fruit (with red stem) that can be seen on the first, full size image. The fruit belongs to the avocado family, I was told. It snatches the fruit in flight and it lands on the branch, and eats the fruit. They did it a few times that morning and I was fortunate to get a frontal and rear, basically unobstructed view of the male crested quetzal while perching.

The front of the bird is red while the rear is green with some blueish tint on the shoulders and wings. What a wonderful bird! This was the pinnacle of our Costa Rican trip. I considered myself lucky to be able to capture both the female and especially the male and more colorful quetzal.

Some 20 photographers/spectators gathered that morning and we had to make do behind the fence at that distance as their habitat is strictly protected. I used the AF feature of the camera/lens/adapter combo for the shots. Fill-in flash is not allowed.
