My trusty go-to lens for the last few years has been a Zeiss ZE 21mm f/2.8 T* Distagon and in many cases this is still true.  Its a joy to work with as focusing is smooth, easy and importantly accurate - even wearing big gloves.  But as I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm shooting more panoramic's with a 50mm lens.   A few years ago I purchased a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM for some street photography on a Paris trip.

Where has this year gone?  Winter is as easy as it gets for wilderness landscape photography; sunrise is at 08:14 and sunset at 16:03 where I live.  Its possible to have a late start and still be on location in plenty of time for the sunrise :-)  Unfortunately, the weather isn't playing ball tho, its warm with boring overcast skies.  Anyway, its provided the opportunity to overhaul my workflow, tools and to catch-up on some much overdue processing.
