But, then again, when you show awesome pictures with this lens, as Joshua has also just done in the post preceding yours, I'd be willing to put up with a little weight to get nice shots like those! The lens doesn't really seem any bigger than the Canon 24-105L I frequently use, so that's not a big factor for me. Price is though.
That's why they make so many kinds of lenses -- everybody's got favorites for a number of valid reasons!

yeah, everybody has their own priorities, but i shoot sony for the small size and universal adaptability. i don't care about the weight, but size matters a lot. here's the 35/1.4 i usually shoot with:
people who use the ZA 50/1.4 and ZA 85/1.4 will not be bothered by the size of the ZA 35/1.4 i'm sure.

A couple of weeks ago I spent quite a bit of time in this place, went through 2.5 batteries. Here's one with the CV 1.7 at f9-ish. The field curvature works out OK sometimes.
The approach to Gokyo (high Himalayas in the Everest region of Nepal), this is the 1st lake (these highest lakes in the world at an altitude of around ca. 4,800m / 15,000 ft) which had thankfully thawed in the sun (3 of the 5 lakes were still completely frozen).
What do you think of the contrast in this ? Overdone ? Maybe Black Point too low ? I can't decide and I'd like to know how it looks to others.
Good Morning from the lake again. A pastel kind of morning with help from a crescent moon. My faithful companion, Nora, simply sits like this while I photograph, watching the world wake up. I can't think of a better way to start my days.
