Nice pop from the 16-35mm f4 OSS. Was the lighting poor or supplemented? The shadows look pretty non-descript (so I think diffuse light thru the windows), but the golds and other colors make me think additional lighting or really good post or really good lens.
Great use of the OM24 F2. I especially like the waterfall image.
I bought an OM135mm f2.8MC after seeing some of your previous mountain images. Very happy with that lens - sharp with no CA that I've found. I also have an OM24mm f2.8 that I like.
I used to go to Bend Oregon every summer and miss the mountains (haven't been for 6-7 years).
Have you tried a 7mm OM Ext tube on the 24mm? It makes for an excellent macro for still subjects (at least with the OM24mm f2.8) - only downside is the extremely short working distance. The extension tube only weighs maybe 3 oz (so I stick it on the lens for trips in the woods).
Minolta MD 135/3.5 (it's last incarnation,5/5 lenser) is a very good glass.Small,solid and lightweight.Sharp wo,with minimal CA.Very cheap (got mine for less than 25 Euro).No major differences in IQ compared to Rokkor MD135/2.8 4/4 and MC 6/5.Here on the A7 and at f3.5
Another very good,cheap and overlooked lens is the Rokkor 45/2 pancake.Usable from f2.Sharp across the frame with no smearing from f4.

The lighting in this shot is only available light. It is very dark in the Dom. Camera on tripod and 2 sec at F4. The light comes from the windows, the candles and a spot light to the madonna. A little work in post, shadows/lights,whites, blacks, clarity and sharpening.
First post although I have been a member for 2.5 years!
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your work Werner :-)
The 16-35mm lens looks great in your capable hands, I wasn't expecting the boke to look quite as good as it does..."The Book" shot shows it off really well...Many thanks.
Likewise Michiel always enjoy seeing your Amsterdam Harbour shots, also beautifully processed :-)
