Very nice performance here. I would get this if I needed the focal length. Now I mostly use 90mm TS-E and Zony 16-35.

My 2 cent question is: Where is GM 16-35/2.8?


I think it has to be next up. That will give us the Holly Trinity of f/2.8 zooms; 16-24, 24-70, 70-200. I\'d be all set for my main landscape kit with some awesome primes to round it out VC 15 FE, Loxia 21 & 50 Batis 25 & 85!


Personally for landscape work I\'d stick to primes or the f4 zooms. I don\'t see any real advantage to lugging the heavy 2.8 zooms out into the field.


I hear you. But the weight of the 24-70 GM vs. the Loxia 21, Loxia 35, & Loxia 50 is actually lower by a bit. The 70-200 GM is another story. So if weight is an issue a nice 135mm or 200mm f/2.8 or f/3.5 Loxia or Batis may be a nice solution.
