I've just come home to a new wide angle lens. Nikon 20/3.5 and K&F adapter appear to be working very nicely together
weren't you trying to sell off A7 related stuff to buy something else?
I am moving over from Nikon - I think Sony now sits well for me as a landscape photographer.Plenty of new Sony purchases
The Nikon 18-35mm G is very good, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Sony 16-35mm going by the images Dan posted, looks very sharp.I am moving over from Nikon - I think Sony now sits well for me as a landscape photographer.
I have been a bit dissapointed with Nikons wide lens selection. Used a 17-35 for a few years but know it is not the best. Tried a used 16-35 F4 and it was worse than the 17-35. Ended up having to get work done on it by Nikon and even then it was not as good as the 17-35.
The 14-24 is apparently great but I like to use grads and decided not to upgrade to the 150mm I would have needed. Cost alone for the 150mm Firecrest grads and NDs was crazy (still cheaper than a new system though )
Canon glass is very good, but their sensors are playing catchup.
So - time to give the GMasters a try

The problem is that 17mm isn't wide enough sometimes and I would have been limiting myself even more.
The difference between 18 and 16mm is quite surprising
I did ponder the D850 for weeks - it was the logical move.
Having a lighter backpack will also help as well - although I could save much more weight by going on a diet!

A write up!
PS.
How long did it take to come and where did you get it? Order direct from their web site?
NiceI got it from http://www.vintage217.com/nl/ which I found through Wotoncraft's own site being their official EU dealer. Official site has a 50 day delay for pre-order but I got the last brown one in the EU. They have 1 black one left. I ordered on Thursday night, arrived today, it's shipped from Holland.
The leather is really soft, quality is amazing everything is made to perfection. The smell, lovely leather smell !
The down side. there are too many large size dividers. I wish I have 2 smaller ones and 1 large one, but apart from that this is just an awesome daily.
This is probably how I will arrange it, so 2 dividers are not being used.
Can fit 1 body with a 50/1.4 Zeiss , with a Canon 85/1.2 and a 35/1.5L. I don't think the Sigma 85/1.4 will fit though.
Nice details
Looks superb. Definitely something I'll look into.I got it from http://www.vintage217.com/nl/ which I found through Wotoncraft's own site being their official EU dealer.

Well - I have just pulled the trigger on a A7R3 and a 24-70GM. Waiting for the 16-35GM and 70-200 F4 to come back in stock at Panamoz and will have them as well.
Just need it to arrive before the weekend so I can have a nice play

Thanks for posting, it looks lovely
I've been looking at these since Steve Huff started going on about them. I have a Billingham, my second, which I've never used and currently use a cheap man bag but I do keep thinking about getting a nice bag... but some free time is what I really want.

The lens itself is about the same size as my OM/M42 adaptors on their own and weighs about the same.
Quality
Yea I've got the samyang one. Good lensThis has prompted me too look into this, found a long comparison vid on YouTube, actually 1st link.
They are so close I can't tell the difference most of the time, I think the Samyang is sharper and they concluded the Samyang is the better lens and cheaper too.
Yea I've got the samyang one. Good lens
