Is it really worth 10 times more?
I've been using my Canon new FD 35mm F2.8 lens with adapter on my Sony A7 for almost a year now. I decided to try the Zeiss Loxia 35mm F2 Biogon so I bought a nice used copy from eBay

I spent a week Holiday in Cornwall. It wasn't especially a photo tour but Cornwall offers so much for landscape enthusiasts you just cannot come home without at least a long exposure.
I woke up early on Monday morning as nice clear sky was promised by the weather forecast. I picked the location from my previous photo walk. It's a very nice view from the footpath running along the ridge about 20 minutes walk from the village.
Full frame 35mm is thought to be the most versatile focal length. When I go on a day trip with my family most of the time I use this. So far my old Canon nFD 35mm F2.8 did the job for me. Although being not a recent design it's a very solid performer on the Sony A7. The only thing I really missed was the autofocus capability. When the first rumours emerged that Samyang was going to release a native, 35mm, AF, pancake, full frame lens for Sony E-mount knew I would go for it.
Usually when I walk in the early morning I'm suffering from wet shoes because of the dew. But so far we haven't experienced much rain this summer and the last couple of weeks has been quite warm. So this time my shoes stayed dry during my walk.
