Well, after a lot of deliberation, I decided to keep the Loxia 85. My 85/4 ZM sold quickly (Your welcome Guy). So, now instead of testing, it's time to simply learn the lens and enjoy shooting it.

Ronny, how do you like the 100-300 so far? I did some aperture series yesterday with it and the lens is just stunning. Even at 300mm wide open, the lens has sharp corners. Only caveat are some LaCA at that focal length, but it's pretty easy to correct them.

Bob, didn't you get a Batis 18mm recently? Where are the pictures?
Yup! That to replace my returned Laowa 12/2.8 which was mush in the corners wide open. The lens arrives today! I'll be skiing next week and trying to get some shots with it!
