Interested to see you used the Samyang 35mm f2.8 on the A7M2. I was looking at it the 1.4 for street work, but already have the 28mm f/2. Today, I opted in the end for the Sony 85mm F/1.8 on my A7M2. Whole new ball game! But I like the look of your 35mm and what it gets.
Thanks, Peter. The 35mm is a nifty little lens, but ironically, I suspect I would have been at least as happy with the 28mm f/2 ... Anyway, the 35mm is a reliable little lens - a little cheap in feel, but it certainly delivers the goods, and of course, it's tiny. Its colour signature is a quite cool though, especially in the shadows - its stable mate, the 24mm f/2.8, does a better job at providing true colours. However, even if the Samyangs may not be the absolute best lenses on the market, I find them quite enjoyable in use, and they do give me a bit more flexibility than the (sole) 28mm f/2 would; that said, I'd not replace the latter with either of them. The 35mm f/1.4 is a different story - it's quite big, and reviews are decidedly mixed (maybe due to considerable sample variation?). The 35mm f/2.8 is a great lens for its size and price, at any rate (the 24mm, again, gets mixed reviews - mine's fine by my own standards).

Like this. Normally seeing the backs of people does nothing for me; unless in context. This though makes it look like they are walking into the excitement of a Friday or Saturday night. Even from behind, you can sense the anticipation.

Thank you very much Peter,

It was on a Thursday night, but it was about 2am and in town. I'm quite pleased with my technique because I shot at 50mm @ f1.1 on a FF Leica M9 at 1/45 whilst walking... oh and I was a bit drunk... beer it's the new IBIS :D
