SATX architecture. Love these old buildings with character.
"At 280 feet (90 m), the 21-story Milam Building in downtown San Antonio, Texas was the tallest brick and reinforced concrete structure in the United States when it opened in 1928, as well as the first high-rise air-conditioned office building. The building was designed by George Willis." - wikipedia

My Laowa 12/2.8 Zero-D arrived today. Here's a first of quick handheld images at either f/8 or 11. Some distortion/blurring at the corners but nice sharpness in the center. Decent colors/contrast as well. Decent sunstars but not as big as the voigtlander 15mm. More testing clearly needed. Next set will be wide open.
For those with this lens, is there a LR lens profile available or do you apply one from another lens/manufacturer?
Up next are a few shots wide open at f/2.8. MFD is literally a couple of inches from the subject and at f/2.8 blurring of the background is easily achieved. Some of these shots may not show critical sharpness as they were done handheld and I was in a bit of a hurry but it gives an indication of what's possible. In the last image, the lens was no more than 2 inches from the "Loxia" on the lens hood.
Edit: Oops, that third image was shot at f/11. How did that slip in there?
Sunstars look pretty good but you're chilling me with those ice-scapes! 65 degrees here in NJ today with people on the beaches on the Jersey Shore. Climate change has been very good for us so far this winter.
Special image, Joshua. The bones of the composition are great (the rocks, water, and angle toward the sun). but then what you did with the sunlight/flare and the movement of the surface of the water, and the location of the people on the rocks at the moment you took the picture make it unusual and special!
