Thanks. Your ride is so clean on that first shot you can see the dust picked up on the knobs of the tire tread when you rolled it in for the shot.
I'm still learning this 18/3.5. The shot had some vertical correction but not much. I couldn't get the camera completely level to capture the height of the lighthouse from the only spot you can stand with some elevation so I had to aim it up a bit. And at 18mm vertical lines really distort fast. You might notice the top of the lighthouse is not quite right geometrically. Sot this lens might be better for landscapes than architecture.

Thanks. Sweet shot.
I had that Sigma 35/1.4 lens and liked it but it was too big for my Df so I got the new 35/1.8G for it. I considered the Zeiss 35/2 but I need fast focus for candid shots and the Zeiss wasn't going to cut it. I'm really impressed with t it so far. So much so I sold the Sigma. It's on my Df almost all the time now. This new 35/1.8G is usable at f1.8 and on and is sharp with good bokeh. But that is on the Df at 16MP. I've yet to get some experience with it at 36MP on the D800. I'm giving it a highly recommended for someone who doesn't what to pay the high price or carry the weight burden of the f1.4 versions.
