Recently let go of my 2 small Voigtlander lenses (12mm and 15mm E mount) for the Sigma ART 14-24mm DN DG...I'm also happy with that decision :) :thumbup:
The 65 Voigtlander is stunning. Not even slightly heavy to me especially coming from the Fuji GFX lenses which can be heavy. I receive the 110 Voigtlander today which will be a great focal length for me as I shoot mostly standard to slightly long lenses.

Cheers.....

I am very intrigued by the new Tamron primes
Extremely light weight and inexpensive as well as the promise of excellent image quality
Particularly curious about the 20mm as I have the Tokina and may look to replace that with the Tamron
I have the 28-75 Tamron and find it produces 90% of the image quality of the much heavier and more expensive 24-70 GM for about 1/3 of the price
If you are looking for ultimate image quality w/o any compromise you will have to spend a lot and be willing to to put up w weight
Of course coming from MF that may not bother you in the slightest :cool:

I shot my Tamron 17-28/2.8 at an event alongside the 55/1.8 and Batis 85, and it was a great focal range complement to the two primes. I didn't need the wide angle all that much, so it was nice to have something small and flexible like this. Previously I was using the Voigtlander 15mm and 28/2 for these focal lengths, but the 17-28/2.8 is basically equivalent in size to the pair but with f2.8, the benefits of a zoom, and better image quality to boot. Tamron really made a smart set of compromises in this lens design.

The event was on the 61st floor of the Salesforce Tower in SF, here's a shot from the ground :)

Wow Pramote, we are are just getting our first light frost of the winter!
Hi Alan,

It's unusual this year.
It's beautiful to watch but it's a little bit too cold to be outside.
Fortunately, we have 300 sunny days a year (more than Miami Beach) so the snow usually melts very fast.

Best

From today's hike (6500+18-135)
Getting cold enough for ice to form on the small forest ponds


This is a closeup of the spot of light passing through the ice to a fallen branch below (the ice is covered in conifer needles)
