I get stuck with the same winter scene. It's familiar. How do I show it any differently, etc.
But, when I see yours now, I see that there is nowhere else quite like it - for better or worse. Other areas are very similar, but It's a distinct place.

This is a lens we so rarely hear about, especially with that other 28/1.4 running around Z mount now. I'd seen some examples on Leica film cams that looked great, but the Z images impressed me less. How are you finding it?

Great shot!
As Fred's reviewed, it's a Leica 28mm Summilux clone. If you like or need that lens, this is the Z mount chipped version.
It's a utility lens. Good for street or nightlife. It's mostly set it to f/8 or f/11 and 10'/3m in daylight. It's nice having low gear for very low light situations.
I don't have a need to swap to something like the upcoming 28Z/2 APO. As I mostly shoot stopped down, a smaller size & weight 28Z/2.8 would be attractive.
My old house looked like this. That's the east end's trim, pre-WWI workingman's home architecture: 2 story balloon frame, white pine shingles (that came on schooners from Maine along with the seed potatoes), low-step porch, center chimney. Many had locust post foundation. Most had a privy somewhere out back. (Sandy took my 2 holer out.)
Such a cool house that stands out. I’ve taken a few shots of it. Love the historical houses here.
