I didn't see an official image thread for this lens yet. My favorite bit is that I just love how light it is, you'd be crazy not to bring it with you. I'm going to do be on a western US road trip in a few months and I think this lens will be perfect to take with.

Great idea for a thread and very nice pics to start it off!
It would be great to have the exif data for each one. Where were they taken?
First 3 were taken in Acadia NP, and the rest in Cambridge, MA. I can go through and add the EXIF.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed but I did notice a few images at F16 and F11 where diffraction makes them notably softer, it's possibly slightly misfocus contributed to this - using an A9 though. I'll probably try to keep it between F4-F8 where it's very very sharp and detailed.
Just one trip with the lens but this is probably the ultimate do-all mountain lens.
Really big fan. So incredibly light and compact, the fact it zooms with no external movement is big, lots of various precipitation in the alpine environment.
In Coombs British Columbia you find the Old Country Market with their marketing tag line, Goats On The Roof. Because they keep live goats on the property, and have them graze on the grassed roof of the building that houses the market itself. "Goats on the Roof" is the best known symbol for this popular destination, frequented by both locals and tourists.
Let's all try to not get too hung up on the goat presenting us with his (or her) best end . . .
I’ve really enjoyed your posts of this location with different lenses at different times.
This might be a bit of a ridiculous question, but aside from the obvious aperture / thin DOF / focal lens differences, do you find you’re missing much when you take a picture of a scene like this with the 16-35 PZ vs. the 35 / 50 GMs? Specifically things like color/contrast?

Thanks. The colors and contrast are really close to those primes. For me it's a delightful little travel lens. I currently only have the zoom and 50GM. The only time I switch for something like this is to get more compression and less DOF.
