Beautiful pictures Marco! I also own this lens and it is amazing, very sharp and fast but I still prefer my 22mm, not because it is better but because of the FOV. I try to use them both but for my shooting I always end up with the 22mm. I am going to Prague this week and I wanted to use only one of them. I haven't decided yet so probably I will take both with me

I completely understand why the 22mm can be preferable. I was personally surprised that my shots of the Silver Jewellery came out because I prefer the 22mm FOV for food photography and that's usually quite close up. In fact I swapped lenses just to photograph some food a couple of weeks ago. But overall, the 32mm has more flexibility in low light for me. And the slight increase in the focal length is handy for enhancing subjects just slightly too far away from me that a wider lens might otherwise fail to impact with. Of course, for landscapes and architecture, wider is almost always better. Though that's what I use the 11-22mm for these days. I have to admit that whilst the 22mm is a VERY sharp lens, I hardly seem to use it these days - though it remains my best Astro lens right now.
