Oh Charles. You are making me jealous. Frozen here at 17F, or -8.3 C. In the meantime, at where you are, people are swimming on the beach with Chrismas decoration. 
I just realized, that this is the kind of shot I always stumble, especially with 35mm range focal length. It is not really wide, but not that narrow like 50s. DOF is never that deep like UW, but there are more front view taken in because, it still is sort of wide. It is hard for me to determine where to put the focus on. How much front blur, or not, but then I don't want to end up with F16. I am studying your shot. I like it.

The River Wey - 6 shot vertical pano (f/7.1 for some reason!)Could do with spending some time sorting out the distortion on this one at some point.

I think this one's next on my list. I'm having UWA withdrawals but sold my last Fuji lens, and this one's on the short list.

Thanks Luka
The weather is now warm and balmy! The focus was on the ocean but at the nearest point as this was the subject of interest. It was getting dark and I did not want to raise the ISO too much so f/5.6 was max.
Another couple shots

Charles,
Yes, focus area was clear with the lovely texture of waves, and I like it. I often find in my shots that first shot that went with instinct was the right choice, and the subsequent ones that I may overthink tend to be 'meh'.
Anyway, here is a cross post from other thread ( bigger size )
58/1.4g

I think the 105 is next on 'the list' now that I have my UWA fix from my Rok 14mm that I just got in. What a beautiful lens and great shots (58mm is very nice also, but I prefer my 45mm FOV for that range).
One very quick 'test shot' practicing MF at near MFD with a 14mm 2.8 lens (I barely missed at 100%). I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the ability to quickly zoom to 100% in an EVF

Sjms, love these series of shots!
Thank you Smitty Congrats on the Samyang 14mm! Very nice capture.
The 105E is one of the best lenses I have owned for portraits. In fact the 105mm for portraits was the FOV I needed to have the compromise of compression, look and still be able to use it inside. I always found 85mm too short IMO, but I still love this FL. Canon with their 85L II is ideal as f/1.2 achieves beautiful and unique rendering at 85mm wide open and yet sharp. The 105E is lighter than the beastly 85L II.
With Nikon film earlier on hooked me on the look of 105mm for portraits with the legend 105 f/2.5. This then was one of my all time favorite lenses. This is shot with Nikon F and 105 f/2.5, 1983 still a FX
