Mt Snowdon. The fool on the Hill who should think it through before embarking on a 1085 metre climb.

Very nice. Many opine this as the best lens ever for Sony APS-C cameras.

I use this lens a lot. Sharp, small and light. Great for hiking.

I let my 24 go some time ago but I still remember the magic it often added.

To continue this showcase here are some samples shot in and around Edinburgh.
It is quite a universal wide-angle(ish) lens with really great micro-contrast - you will notice this right away when you compare RAW files shot with this lens to the likes of Sigma and others.
I think it is underrated, even Mark Galer as a Sony Ambassador isn't naming this lens in his APS-C lens recommendations... ;-)

Really love the flower, need to get closer to things...
The rain and the contrast plus the eye for composition make this image outstanding!

Such a versatile lens. With a magnification ratio of 1:4 and focusing distance of about 6 inches it can be used as a quasi macro lens.

I never owned one, but everything I ever read/saw rated the lens pretty highly. I think a lot of people are put off by a relatively high price for an APS-C lens, which is a shame.
