The 50 1.2 has a look that works so well for Street Photography:

And I love that reaction. Some of the WTF faces really can make an image.

Lady in pic 4 is married, her husband and kid are right behind her. I think pic 6 is a couple having some sort of "dispute." I saw the uneasiness and was just compelled to document it The guy in the first B&W pic just reminds me of Bane from The Dark Night Rises. I do the voice in my head every time I see that picture

Went on a little overnight adventure in the back country. 50km (31mi) hiked in 2 days. Packed 24-70/70-200 but I think I need to seriously look into sourcing 24-200 for such occasions.

I took a chance with buying the 24-200 before a kayaking trip to avoid the weight and risk of loss / damage to my 24-70 and 70-200.......I'm really glad I did. Now I do those trips with a 20mm 1.8 and the 24-200. I'm not taking many portraits on these hiking / kayaking trips and this lens is very good at f8-11. Same image quality as the f4S at these apertures. A bit soft in the extreme corners but the trade-off is worth it for me.

These were taken about 30-40km away from you

In follow up to the post above, these were taken with the 20mm f1.8G with FTZ. I've been thinking of upgrading to the 1.8S and probably should have jumped on a used one recently. But, having the less expensive and light 1.8g is good for kayaking trips I suppose.

Would be curious for feedback on these two images and the one in my post above (same subject)......any thoughts on which one would be decent wall art (if any)? Constructive feedback would be great. I'm not loving the halo effect behind the piles in these two. Tried to improve in post but it looked worse. Cheers!

I prefer the first one. I like the rippled water, it adds some nice texture to the image and it's creating mini sun stars in the water.

Yesterday, I rented a Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 lens and used it for a few hours on my z7ii with the FTZ adapter.
At first, I found the combo to focus slow, but then I used the focus limiter and then it worked decently. I shot burst mode of several hummingbirds and the camera kept focus really well and I ended up with 100+ in-focus, sharp (enough for me at least) photos of hummers.

Good stuff - that looks like Sunshine Coast / Vancouver Island?

I figure for backpacking I could easily get away with 24-200 and maybe pack a 50 if I want an occasional portrait. I'll just patiently wait for a used one to pop up locally.

My 2c worth preference is also for the #1. It has more room around the Piers, and on a big screen, sun star is also less dominant.

Z7II + 50 f1.2 Focus stacked. Not perfect but it worked reasonably well.
