A walk on the Banks of the Po river with my new Kiron 2/24

It's been raining a lot, recently, in northern Italy. Some areas suffered from severe flooding, with huge damage to infrastructures and houses, and some victims too. I live very close to the river Po, the biggest river in Italy, which level, because of these rains, is really high these days.
Luckily it looks like there's no danger here at the moment - even because around here the river bed is really broad, and, even if high, the water is still quite far from the banks' limit - so I took advantage of yesterday's fair weather to go and see the river. Also, it was a good chance to try my new kiron 2/24.

1- In this locations banks are like 500 meters away from the proper river bed, and there are houses in between.
This picture is taken from the top of the outermost bank (kiron 2/24)




2&3 - Safely standing on the top of the bank some kilometers down the river: these trees are usually standing on ground which is a couple of meters over the standard water level. (RE.auto Topcor 3.5/135)






4 - A little restaurant just out of the banks. Here, in the middle ages, was the "Sigerico Ford", one of the most used spots to cross the Po river for pilgrims walking the "Via Francigena" to Rome (kiron 24/2)




5 - Kiron 2/24




6- Kiron 2/24




7 - Kiron 2/24




Having a sunny day after all this rain was nice: today heavy rain is expected over all of northern Italy again.
The lens looks really nice to me. It's definitely sharp enough at middle apertures (I still haven't had the time to test it seriously wide open, however I have already noticed the inclination to glow in some situations), colors are lovely, with a coolish tone; flare resistance is not bad too and it's heavy (in a good way) with very good build quality.

Very nice rendering this lens has. You should be happy I guess!
Thanks for sharing these views!

Great series, hard to pick favorites! You do a great job capturing the reflections of the trees on the water.

good photos, good colors, congrats.
I am also curious how you will like it wide open, mine has sharpness only in the very center and it looses very strongly towards the corners, that much that I have been wondering if my sample is faulty.
