Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 3.5-4.5/16-35 ASPH Image Thread

The lens is a bit of a stunner and I don't think we have an image thread for it yet. I picked one up this week and plan to have some fun with it before at some point in the future I might consider selling it to one of those hundreds of thousands L-mount users out there. 😀 But I don't think I will. I'm not a 16-35 mm type of guy but I love this lens. These were all taken today.

It works now. It's an image thread, not a sales pitch. Sorry my @ss.

I have to admit, before I got this lens I asked myself "Am I a 16 mm type of guy?" and the answer was clearly "No." So, I went ahead and bought it anyway and now I have to practice. Of the eighteen keepers here, thirteen are at 16 mm and the closest I went was 25 mm. Polarizing filter was used to reduce reflections. The lens is a bit addictive.

I knew it. This lens is stunningly versatile. Now that the 35 Summicron-SL has been introduced, I wanted to see what the Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35 can do at 35 mm "wide open" 😁. I have tons of pictures from today and still need to go through them. But upfront one already to warm up. Links to less compressed JPEG and DNG for those who want to play around with the RAW file (because I'm a nice guy 😀) below. This lens is sharp, stunningly sharp. The picture here was taken handheld at 1/60 sec. and I didn't put the polarizer on.

Okay, 16-35 mm lovers, let's show some more at, you guessed right, 16-35 mm. Two at 16 mm, one at 23, one at 26, and one at 35 mm to be precise. Love the versatility of this lens. It's become one of my favorite lenses now. When you absolutely, positively have to go a bit wide, accept no alternatives. 😁

It's time for some Super-Mario-Elmar action. Now mounted on the S1 because someone wanted to have my SL badly. This one reminds me of a line by Gordon Gekko. To paraphrase him "Distortion is good, distortion is right, distortion works."

I love the distortion of this lens. BTW, it started to rain and the tourists all went to get drunk at a famous bar.
