I'm guessing #2 was taken with the 21. I've taken a few a MFD with the 21, and none of them tickled my fancy. The 35/2 on the other hand, really can pass for macro lens in my opinion.
Whenever I think "I'm not using my 100MP very much, I should sell it" Ronny (and others) post a few shots to remind me how great that lens can be.

You guessed right, Joe! And I agree, I won't usually use the 21 for macro-shots if I had alternatives with me, but it could be used as such under these circumstances. The 35/2 is in another league in the macro department, with very smooth bokeh. It's a lens that shines more at shorter (and MFD) distances than at larger distances IMO.

Nice set, Peire. Makes me want to move to Poland. Is this Kraków? FYI, metro Chicago can be considered the 3rd largest in Poland.
It is my home city,Wrocław.The 4th in Poland by population and similar somehow to Cracow and Prague.This year it holds a title of European Capital of Culture that brings about many interseting cultural events.
Chicago could have been considered the 2nd ,as numer of immigrants from Poland there is about 1 mln.I haven't been there since 2005,but then it was visible almost everywhere.
