Well worth an early rise to capture these dramatic images, karno. I like the lovely verse and wonder who penned it. 
Much appreciated, I don’t get out much for sunrise but it feels unique to see the start of day. Came up with this verse while posting.

Very nice. Did you use f22 to get the sun burst?
I used f16 but can gat away with f13 with this Zeiss under perfect conditions.

I had fun getting up early and capturing a couple of sunrise images from table mountain.
As the sun peaks to end nights silence
A valley oak sighs,
A babbling brook cries.

Thank you for the article, hadn't thought of micro contrast. Wonder if it's like 'replace color' in Photoshop. When I shoot a long Tele shot and get haze, I process the blacks with 'replace color' feature, selecting a partial area of hazy black areas and darken them. One can do that several times in the same area varying to fussiness intensity. Understood this is work, where as the lens may have done that instantly.
It is a sad truth that our newer lenses are trading character for sharpness, it is also interesting how many social media sites have filters that subdue these qualities even further and people love them? To me these filters remind me of a hazy lens needing cleaning.
I decently gravitate to micro contrasty lenses like Leica and classic Zeiss.
I bought the Zeiss 18mm milvus and it he’s low contrast to my disappointment, but where these flatter lenses shine like sigma,milvus, etc is at night they rule at night.

If you are contemplating moving from DSLR FF to FF mirrorless as a weight saving move, reconsider. The big part of the weight is the lens, which is going to be mostly the same for both. They may have been able to engineer a bit of weight saving into native mirrorless lenses, but there is still physics.
Oh and one thing I will add on the weight savings if the m mount lenses work well, then that would also be a weight saving benefit for travel or long treks also.
First I will weight for others to test it out.
Pun intended 😊
Still on the fence until I see steller optical capabilities and low coma for night stuff in the s lenses.

I agree, though I was considering the new 14-30 f4 over the 14-24 2.8
And the a 1.8 prime over the 1.4 sigma prime and that would be a great weight saving, with little compromise.
Also may allow for a lighter tripod.

I was thinking of making a move to Nikon z and go native s lenses, as I research I see that they are making lenses that extend when zooming? I have always avoided these type with the thought that they can suck dust into the lens and sensor, and that they are possibly more easily knocked out of alignment,
Is this prejudice at all logical or am I way off base.
I am a bit perplexed and feel to go Nikon mirrorless and enjoy the weight savings of going Native z mount is out for me.
The older Nikon wide zooms don’t do this?
My 70-200 does not do this.
I am curious if Sony and canons mirrorless zooms are pumper zooms?
Looks like either I use all primes for the z mount when they come out which kills the weight advantage or I am f mount forever.
Maybe Nikons future zooms will not all be pumper zooms?

“The tie-in to photography is this: One has to be open to change, but not hop on every bandwagon that comes along---and not assume that newer is always better.”
Example: Sony Betamax vs VHS. Better does not always win. Marketing does.

Newer is only better if it improves your end result or makes it easier to get to the result you want. If this is the case then an upgrade or downgrade may be worth it.
