I don't think you'll ever get smooth light trails with the SR app. The cars are moving too fast and the camera doesn't expose continuously between shots (it doesn't fire fast enough). Then, the long exposure doesn't cover the gaps because the cars are not trailing in exactly the same place. You should just long exposure for this one.

Actually, the cars were barely moving--rush hour in Atlanta. The light trails are from a 25 or 30 second exposure....However, you are likely right that unless one combines many long exposure images, the SR app is probably not going to work.

Another from my recent Zion National Park trip. I love just wondering along the Virgin River between the canyon walls in the morning. The reflected light off the canyon walls and cottonwood trees create a magical atmosphere.

Even using the Laowa 12mm in this tight space was barely enough to capture it all. This is a cool library inside the Hotel Emma at the Pearl in SATX. The larger version is nicer to look at so you can see the detail in the image.

I am not sure about the 16-35mm lens for you. Since you have the Loxia 21mm, I would consider getting a 12-15mm lens, if I were you. The transition from the Loxia to the 12mm is more meaningful. Currently, there are two 12mm lens available; the Voigtlander 12mm and Laowa 12mm.
Here in the US, the price of a used Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 is less than the Voigtlander and Laowa12mm new and both lenses are basically not available used. IMHO, the Voigtlander 12mm is really an awesome landscape lens and since you use tripod for that, the slow aperture should...Show more →
Agreed. While the 16-35 is solid, especially at 16-24mm, to me it always leaves a little to be desired. I think you'll find the RX1 Sonnar and Loxia 21 to be technically stronger Ronny, but with much more pleasing rendering regarding contrast, colors, and highlight and shadows. The 16-35 files needs more work, and to my eye, never quite match the subtle hues and wonderful nuance of those two lenses. I would go wider and keep your Loxia 21. I think Fred compared the 16-35 and 21 Loxia with a good copy of the 16-35, so maybe he can advise. I have owned all those lenses, but never done a shoot out. But the 16-35 is always the least desirable to me in terms of final image IQ and rendering (which makes sense at the price points and products' purposes).

If you do a fair amount of cityscape or urban photography, the Laowa seems to be better distortion wise and it is faster, too, which may be great for astrophotography if you do that.Thanks guys

Thank you very much, Bob!
I had that lens several years ago before and I really enjoyed it. Your images prove that it is really a superb performer. I am basically in the same boat as you with regards using lens or lenses you consider selling and ended up putting it back away. In my case it is the Sony 135mm f/1.8 Zeiss. I don't use it often enough but I don't have the motivation to sell it after looking at the images.

Do you need 16mm or maybe something in the 28-35 range ? If you want both then I'd consider it. If not and you are short of a 35 I'd buy the CV 35/1.7 instead, I just love this lens (thanks again to Helena and Philip for the inspiration).
If you want an UWA then I'd consider the CV 15/4.
Both of the CVs are so light you simply won't notice the addition to your bag.

At least you have taken more spectacular images on that day than I did for weeks. The short days are really annoying. It's dark when I go to work and it's dark when I come back..
