Great capture, Rich I took a moment to realize the pose
A7r + Zony 35 f2.8
In this case, the Z side of this small lens worked pretty well... 10 vertical shots pano and no flare or ghost reflection at all.
I'm thinking to upgrade this focal length changing this one in favor of the Loxia: can anyone recommend or not recommend this change and tell me why? I'm not so worried about the loss of the AF capabilities but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Manuel. Great image and IQ.
I own multiple different lenses for a number of focal lengths.
It can be quite interesting using one or the other for the same focal length.
Have you considered keeping your 35 mm and simply adding another 35 mm lens?
You can always sell one later, no?
Deliberately slightly overexposed against the sky and for a change, I was lucky enough to capture this flying male peregrine falcon without cropping at all. Zone-AF really shines here, I would say...
