Not sure which one I like better, the full frame (image one) or the crop (image two). Sigma 24-70/2.8
They’re both excellent, but there’s something about the contrasts in color and light between the earth and sky in the first (full-frame) version that draw me in more.
Sorry for the spam - It's not my fault I've fallen in love with this 135GM, it's Sony's!
I've decided to try some street photography for the first time, unfortunately it seemed every time I aimed this behemoth at people they became immediately aware of my intentions. I apologise in advance if the subject and editing of my street photography is a bit macabre - I work in emergency services so I guess my outlook of city life Isn't great; though I've included some flower pictures as a palate cleanser. (some cross posting in an attempt to convince another forum member to purchase the 135GM)
Looking at the remnants of the Carpentry Shop at Lock Ridge Park as the last light of the day hits the edge of one of the walls.

At Lock Ridge Park (the site of an old Iron Furnace works), Alburtis, PA.
One of my favourites from that particular trip. It needed f5.6 for excellent shaping of the foreground subject and also to give me a decent outline of the two amazing inhabitants top right. Zanskaris are the coolest of the Himalayan peoples IMO. Along with later racial admixture, they are descendants of an ancient Indo European ethic group called the Mon, and were very important in early Buddhist history.
