Terrific images with the 16-35 lens. Wondering what the corner performance is like between 16-21 mm.

Superb.

That's enough for now ..... off now to the Lake District to stand in drizzle with a camera for 4 days ...... 

Such an amazing set of pictures.  Thank you very much.  I like your use of longer exposure times as well.

About as good as as you will ever get in a lens ........ whatever drop off there is is certainly not noticeable in any of the 1000 or so images I took over the week in Spain ...... and nothing obvious in any indoor architectural images I’ve taken in the last few months. 

The lens is exactly as it should be ..... something between you and the subject that you can completely forget about ..... reliable, easy to use and optically as near perfect as you can get .....

Incidentally, am I right to assume you used a tripod?

SVE 16-35mm @19mm, 1/6sec

Fabulous shot and concept. Is the phenomenon that the sheep closest appear to be moving quickly and those furtherest appear not to be moving at all some sort of illustration of Einstein's Theory of Relativity: candles and trains?

I fear, the truth is much less sophisticated...and maybe only the illustration of energy efficiency - as soon as those animals believed to have gained appropriate distance to that guy with a tripod they slowed down again....😉

SL 16-35 @ 16mm

I've never shot at 16mm before having the 16-35 and really like what I am getting from the system.

I've made a short series of long exposure shots today. All three shot at the same time with the same lens. Trying to figure out if I want to sell this lens and replace it with the SVE 16-35 which is twice as expensive and three times as big 😂 What would be your advice ... ? Any thoughts?

...

Besides superb image quality from corner to corner, an additional strength of the 16-35mm is it's resistance to flare. The latter makes the 16-35 a winner for me. After tracing through quite some images with the 16-35, this is about the 'worst' flaring/reflection I have seen... The negative sides of the 16-35 are it's size, weight, cost and aperture of f3.5-4.5. So for hiking, I would possibly bring with with me the 21mm SEM. For astrophotography (at least with the limited high-ISO quality of the SL), I would possibly chose the Sigma 14mm f1.8 ART.

as you a mentioning astrophotography...  i gave this part of photography a chance last week and as this was the first try with the SL  i am not so much disapointed....
Of course it could have been a better picture if i had stiched the foreground and in another picture the sky but i just wanted do see the ability of the 16-35 and the SL

Thanks - looking good, with only minor distortions in the corners (as far as I can see from the image). Which focal length did you use?

As a side note: I have tested the 24-90mm, and this lens is very good @ 24mm wide open (f2.8) for astrophotography.

ISO 6400 using 16mm and 24sec.
I had a better try with the milkyway with the 24-90, too (but i don´t find it right now) , and with this result you see above probably the 28mm Lux with its f1.4 is an interesting lens.
(Astro is normally not that kind of photography i am used to do...)

Unfortunately, the 28mm Lux-M shows quite some optical deformation (coma, astigmatism) wide open. The Zeis 28mm Otus (also f1.4) is a fine - but large/heavy lens for astrophoto. On the wide end, the Sigma 14mm f1.8 ART is a good choice - once you have a fine copy...

When you say that the lens is too big for astrophoto, what do you mean by that? I would understand wight/size restrictions on something like investigative reporting, but what does it have to do with taking pictures of the Milky Way when your remotely operated camera is sitting comfortably on a tripod?

Point taken - and sorry for my narrow view...

I may walk/ski for hours to get to a specific spot, often in (near) darkness in winter. At these circumstances, the weight/size of the OTUS is an issue. If I drive/bike to a spot, the size/weight of the OTUS should be perfectly fine.

LOL, it was Edward Weston who said that any landscape, which is more than ten minutes away from a car is non-photogenic
