Wow, just went through this thread...I don't shoot Sony anymore but if I did I'd be shooting this lens for sure. So much 3-D pop in these excellent examples, It's quite striking and unique.
We are definitely in the Monsoon season. Last night pretty much solid overcast with a bit of precipitation but no wind. This Morning it looked like this.
One circular break in the clouds.
The Santa Fe to Española area covered by a solid fog layer.
Another foggy cloud layer in front of the Jemez Mountains.
The cloud cover lasted all day and kept temperatures comfortably low.
This Evening's view.
I'm finding that I love the 35GM almost too much, such as trying to force it for shots that perhaps a different focal length would be better. We hiked up to an alpine lake this weekend, and even though I had 4 other lenses with me, 95% of my shots were with the 35GM. Nevertheless, its a superb lens and has been doing everything I hoped for. A smallish AF prime to capture scenes around camp and on a hike etc.

Haha these are exactly my thoughts about 35GM (it doesn't help that 35mm is my preferred focal length) . Sure you can find a smaller or lighter or smoother or faster (sharper would be hard I guess) , but the combination is really unique and what makes the GM so fun to use.
Last night and all day we had overcast, drizzling ever so often.
That kept the air and ground pretty wet and temperatures low.
Towards evening the Sun showed up and gave quite a performance.
I confirmed that yesterday's layer of clouds/fog
was situated somewhere between the
White Rock Rio Grande River Canyon
and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
It was definitely not over the Rio Grande itself.
A similar layer of clouds/fog could also yesterday be seen towards the Jemez Mountains.
Following are images I shot in the evening today.
This first one, looking eastwards
shows the fog layer in front of the Sangre de Cristos.
The Rio Grande River Canyon is located right behind the foreground houses.
Now looking westwards from a different location
we see the low fog layer in front of the Jemez Mountains.
A bit later another view westwards towards the Jemez.
Again a bit later and after a short hike another view towards the Sangre de Cristos.
And after hiking back a final evening view towards the Jemez in the West.
All images taken with Sony ILCE-7RM2 + FE 35mm F1.4 GM.
I will also post this in the Sony FE Images Thread
but will replace today's 3840x1600 images with 3x2 format ones.
