From the image quality it seems all lenses used are special but maybe, as noted by Charles, is more a matter of who uses them
Now, to lower the stellar level, some random shots around Long Beach with Zony mini-Otus all WO

Anyway after initially processing maybe a dozen at most on my return from this 4-5 day trip into the mountains of Zhejiang, China, to visit ancient villages, I've now got stuck in again 6 months later.
To start off with some of the village of Xi Keng itself, way up there away from civilisation !
All A7rii and Zeiss Loxia 21mm.

Bamboo and tea are the main crops of the village but they grow all of their own vegetables too of course. Every bit of the bamboo is used, leaves after they are stripped and the stems of course (for use in construction and for food).

One of the typical homes in the village - tiny, cramped and squeezed in amongst all the others. Notice how the concrete slab to enter the home is built onto the mountain side.

They must love their neighbours ! Two homes - one shared entrance. Probably close family as it would be typical to extend a home this way for maybe a son and his new wife.

Thanks Mathieu ! Yes, sometimes I think that is true. There's the excitement of planning the trip, the travel and hiking/walking/hotel whatever, then getting up early (or staying up late or both) and the act of making on the fly decisions and taking the shots. Once you think you've nailed it and are on the way home the high starts to come down

All A7rii and Zeiss Loxia 21mm.Love this set! Am waiting for CZ to realize a Loxia 28, but the 21 is sure tempting.
Thanks Rico !
I don't know anyone who has bought and doesn't love the Loxia 21mm. It seems to even better the Zeiss 21mm Distagon I had before.

I respectfully beg to differ, Kevin. As for me, the high is reached when I am in front of my computer. Was it "worth it"? Have I "nailed it"? Did i "get it" and have something lasting to show and keep? Or not. And, more often than not, the computer unveils a truth of its own. Some shots that I thought would turn out great, don't. And others, or parts of others, offer more than I'd seen or hoped for... And when I get up at 4 a.m. to "get the shots", it can feel really good, or much less so...

Haha different strokes for different folks. But you know the planning, the trip (if not closer to home), and being on site when the weather is perfect (or sometimes not) for your shot, is a big part of it. The processing is just the finale. It's all a bit like a romantic encounter
