All my activity in photography has its roots in the simple interest of a technician in gadgets. Out of such interest , Tamron 35 /1.4 was bought instead of Sigma 35 art . to my surprise, the tamron turned out to be a very charismatic lens with a very good technical picture, but at the same time with a wonderful rendering, a lively and not sterile picture. He was very accurate on the d850 and when I switched to the I system, I decided that for the first time I would leave these 35 mm, until the appearance of the same charismatic Nikon z 35 mm, whether it is /1.4 or / 1.2 or maybe / 2, but necessarily with a recognizable pattern. 35/1,8s frankly disappointed me with its simple, sterile pattern, without a single hint of individuality. But as soon as I thought that I had found the perfect lens to pair with my 105 /1.4, Nikon announced its withdrawal from Russia, supporting stupid sanctions, which led to a global sale at which I bought 28 /1.4E for a ridiculous $500. Of course, I had previously looked at this glass, tried to justify its price, but it was too high for me (I practically do not earn by photography). And then such luck! and now, after a year and a half of use, I can say that the 28 /1,4E fully recovers its value, demonstrating a unique work in the contour light, perfect sharpness, rendering and branded color reproduction. I use it where I want to convey more air in the frame or where 35 mm is too narrow. These 2 glasses with a close focal length give a very different picture, a different perspective, very different rendering in the blur zones, different speed in general. I couldn't definitely choose which one to keep and which one to sell. Perhaps having waited for the z 35 /1,2, I will sell both in his favor, or maybe I will also be disappointed with him as 85 /1,2 and will continue to shoot for this pair of wonderful 28 /1,4e and 35 /1,4

Firstly I do appreciate the quality and number of images you have shared with us, I really do.
Secondly I really do not want to be political on a forum like this. But those "stupid" sanctions, as you call them, have been put in place because your president chose to start a war with another country under false pretence. I also understand that that same president has made it illegal to criticise the war and is indeed putting people in jail for doing so. So I do not expect a lot of Russians to post negative comments about the war, but to say the sanctions are stupid is a bit strong in my book.
Again, I apologise for commenting on politics on this forum but I think this is too important to let it slide.
Keep shooting photos and posting them though.
