Does warm air come out of those steel grates
Seems like I remember something like that when I was a kid

Not from those. There is an old steam pipe system in the city, and during cold season, steam come out from the release valves ( I think ). They are usually marked with road cones.
Was able to get out early this morning to catch the sunrise. Taken with my Nikon Df/85f1.4 AIS combo. I haven't used this lens for awhile, so I thought I'd give it some loving
Well done !. With the introduction of many modern Ultra Wide lenses from multiple manufacturer's, the legend of Distagon 21mm seems to have been a bit forgotten. It used to be that if anyone asked what wide angle to use for landscape in whatever forum, there would be someone mentioning Distagon 21mm. Depending on the forum, that was supported, or debated. These days I do not see the name mentioned as much. Don, your shots are the great reminder of, whether it is the 'trend' or not, how superb the image quality of this lens is. Great shots, showcasing the Zeiss signature color and rendering. And great capture of light !

Totally agree! I use to have the ZE 21/2.8 Distagon and it was a superb lens. Only downside is the mustache distortion but I never really noticed it. I have almost thought of picking a used copy as there are few around now
I know one can pick up the Millvus version, but, then the never ending question of 'if you pay that much today, one can also get for the money......' It would be best to pick a used one today

Luka,
Thank you so much for the very kind words!
I do believe that the Zeiss Distagon 21 is a true classic. I don't shoot with it nearly enough, although, when i do have an opportunity to use it, It has never left me with a feeling of disappointment yet. I feel that when paired with my Df sensor that the colors are rich and vibrant, and that there is plenty of detail and sharpness. The manual focus ring is so smooth, and the build quality is of the typical Zeiss fashion.in that it should last several lifetimes making it a true bargain.

I grabbed this shot on Thursday at the 34th Street–Hudson Yards subway station in NYC. I didn't think too much of it at the time, but once it was processed it really came to life.
