Super image Joshua! K-H.
Thank you very much, K-H.! I got lucky to be able to spot that behavior.

Thank you very much, Birdie! That’s a great image from near Wahweep Marina and you put a great foreground for that.

Ronnie,
Amazing shot, as usual. How are you liking the 24-105 for your work? I hate saying anything that can be perceived as negative as your work is frankly inspirational. This image, however wonderful in so many ways, seems a little bit flat in rendering. I may be completely wrong, but wondering if you find any negatives to the lens versus say the C/Y 100-300 I know you have used in the past. Thx for any thoughts and again, this is a terrific image.
Hi Stephen
I miss your post sry
I'm not so impressed by 24-105
it's ok and pretty sharp but I can agree with you on rendering
it draws pretty flat
I think my prime and contax 100-300 are better at this
but a zoom is so smooth on travel and not having to change lenses or trying to move back or forth which is usually not so easy in the field .. as i said I am not completely satisfied .. see in the future maybe I switch back to primes instead again maybe loxia 35-50-85 will see
just in that picture it was good light and good conditions .. otherwise it was very bad conditions on the whole last Icelandic trip, which surely reflected how the pictures became overall
I probably say that my Icelandic pictures from this trip don't have the same quality as my other two trip from Iceland
My thoughts
but sure the lenses are important also and on this trip I use 24-105 and 100-400 for 95% off the pictures
I think 100-300 contax is better for landscape then 100-400 also
but 100-400 GM is so much better at other things and motives and so good to have AF etc.
Ronny
Ronny, that comes as a complete surprise. Your images for sure tell otherwise. I enjoy both lenses a lot and used them for my landscape needs in Tuscany earlier in the year. I couldn’t tell the difference between images taken with the zoom and prime at f/8 to f/11.

Thank you Jim for a better analysis and I agree with you 100% : )
Should be interesting to hear what you think about 14-24 sigma
is a lens that I thought about and maybe replace sony zeiss 16-35 f4
I wrote to Joshua a while ago
sigma has very interesting lens for sony nowadays
14-24 and 35 f1.2 and also coming 24-70 which I think will be good also
and 105 1.4 really good lenses to sony , but they are big and heavy
but they are very interesting nonetheless
I did not get any PM from you, Ronny. Would you send it again, please?
Should not say that it is in all the pictures I think it is noticeable that the conditions also come into play
but i think for example the structure of the mountains and the details get a little worse with the zoom? have not so many shots to show but the ground and surroundings becomes more flat and the mountains will be like more edgy .. hard to describe .. maybe just it's just a feeling
edgy ?

A comparison
not exact conditions and 24mm vs 21mm f11
Some might like 24-105 more? or Loxia?
