Rick's wide angle images made me want to look at some older images. Here's one with a 21mm Zeiss distagon from 2015. 

Beautiful landscape! Also I'm sure a nice Distagon.

I can't choose between, but did you debate about shooting at f/800?  

 

 

So Light Lens Lab is probably most known for recreating old Leica lenses, but they've produced three non-Leicas also - The Cooke Speed-Panchro II (below), the Angenieux S21 (previous page), and the Dallmeyer Super-Six (I should resist, right? Being a completest is expensive.). Sometimes this is in a new mount, occasionally a new focal length. Anyway, they're often compared and I had Monday off, so swung by The Cantor Art and Anderson Collection Standford spaces with a dusted off SPII with the SL (typ 601). Isn't much of a comparison with the Jaq show, as their subjects are so different, but fun to shoot close together. Mostly at f/2.8. You may recognize the Richard Serra sculpture Sequence, shown here many times, along with a Nick Cave Soundsuite and Deborah Oropallo Patrol.

I’m still testing the R6 Mark II against the 90D by taking photos of the moon.

Last night I used 90D + 2x extender + 100-400 f4.5/5.6L. ISO 800, 1/800, F11 

What do you think?

Far better than I've ever managed, so I approve!

Always great in used lens ads when they include a photo of the "flawless optics".

That’s permanent dust on your viewing screen. The lens is clean.
