I'm decided first to hire this lens to experiment with it and discover what it adds to my landscape photography. Your 7 steps give me a good starting point for this exercition. Thanks. Bert.

    What I didn't like of the 16-35 f4 pz was that the Zoomring has no hard "stop". And it was way to loose for my taste. But I loved the small size. Actually thinking of getting the 16 -25 F2.8 G. (But its still to expensive for what it is) You can also use it for Astro. No need for an 1.8 there.

    Come to the dark side and join the Canon family Mads 🙂. As it happens I am looking at switching to the Canon14-35mm RF lens. I currently use the 16-35 f2.8 Mark III with the EF adapter so the extra width is appealing. I am also weighing that option up against the 10-20mm by Canon too but the price point of the 14-35mm is very tempting. The only downside would be losing some focal length at 20mm as my next lens is the 24-105mm but the upside is even greater with. As always its great seeing your images during your discussion points

    you show us focus bracketing with a sony camera, so it must be a sony a7rV right? So far i know it is the only one which comes with this feature. If you use an older camera you need to focus by hand. My favorite wide angel lens is the sony 12-24 mm 2.8
