poloriton Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Beautiful scenery, just a little too saturated and contrasting for my taste Mathias 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve of stonehenge Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm interested in the 16-35 f4 before a two week trip in Europe next spring. How do you like it? Based on your results, I bet you love it. I have the Basis 25 f2, but want something wider. I am considering the Basis 18 f2.8 and Voigtlander 15 f4.5, along with the Sony 16-35 f4. All three are good lenses so probably can not go wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poloriton Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Yes, really great in landscape photography, I use on A7RII for 90% of my photos : https://www.flickr.com/photos/poloriton/albums/72157659182159543 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathias Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks guys! Fun thing is, I barely touched the saturation slider on these. The light was so great and the sky was really that blue. I felt like going with a contrasty look on this set, because it suits the scene well. I love this lens for landscapes and travel. I've used it on a trip to Italy and was glad I had it with me. Otherwise I'm more of a prime guy, 35-50-85/90.

Otherwise I'm more of a prime guy, 35-50-85/90. Did you use the Zeiss Batis 25mm or 18mm? I have the Basis 25mm and 85mm. I want something wider than 25mm. However, I'm not sure there is enough difference in the Basis 25 and 18. I'm guessing you bought you 16-35 f4 before the Batis was available. I used to prefer zoom for the flexibility. But now I prefer primes. The Basis 25 is more expensive than the 16-35, but much faster f-stop. The only time I would miss that extra lens speed is in astro photography which I rarely do. So I'm leaning toward the 16-35. Will probably wait until the first of the year to decide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathias Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Did you use the Zeiss Batis 25mm or 18mm? Unfortunately no, I don't own or have ever tried a Batis lens. I too typically prefer primes, but in the wide range I enjoy a flexibel zoom. I couldn't live with an 18mm prime, it would often end up being too wide - the 25 looks great though - but what if you still want to go wider every now and then? I don't like changing lenses out in the field, plus the zoom is cheaper and really good. Corners may be sharper on the primes, but isn't that overrated? Colors and contrast are great on the 16-35/4. So, I'm sticking to this great zoom. I hardly miss a larger aperture on the zoom, I'm not into astro either. My other lenses are 35/1.4 ZA, 50/1.4 ZA and 90/2.8 Macro. However I'm thinking about getting the Batis 85 - or a 135 if there will ever be one Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve of stonehenge Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The Basis 85 is great for portraits. I use it a lot and really love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more Barrier Lake II by Mathias, auf Flickr I've been on quite a few climbing trips in that area and in the Dolomites. You aint kidding! It truly is that saturated in color in real life! Great pics! Mathias 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
