At the end I feel you are true to your style and no major changes to your lens collection [35mm in this case] can be expected. Time wil tell, but I still enjoy your signature soft style with legacy lenses.yeah, nehemiah has been letting me play with a number of his lenses. it's fun, but i'm definitely not moving towards bigger and better. i really liked both the zm 35/1.4 and the cv 35/1.7, neither is as good as the rx1 for me though. the ZA is automatically out for it's size. this is ridiculous: http://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2824/34205405845_1660f0ec77_o.jpg
i like the draw though: http://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4165/34205405725_d9df209c99_o.jpg http://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2937/34164758406_b64da4b8e6_o.jpgGreat shots!
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!
Thank you, Jim! In this respect, you and I are thinking alike but I fully understand Derek's position entirely.

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.

Few photos from summer 2016 with Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/21 ZE @ f/11. I might have used 120cm/50inch silver/white reflector to enhance light, can't remember anymore and someone was lazy making notes...
I have just swapped the Batis 2.8/18 for the Loxia 2.8/21. The latter feels just much better to me, the focal length is ideal and the lens has the special sauce.
I went through images from a trip to Spain/Portugal in 2015 and I couldn't believe how many images that I haven't touched or labeled as processed later. Here are two of them from Toledo using a lens that I just recently sold. It made me sad and made me regret that I sold that lens and the A7 II wasn't bad either and that only a 24MP sensor, the same as the newly introduced A9.
