Great photos, Jonathan.

Those apartments in Mojacar are amazing!

Love the 20-60mm and what it can do. You can even just use it as a 20mm f3.5 if you dont like zooms.

Love this lens! Actually, it is the ONLY 3.5-5.6 kit lens that I kept and continue using it regularity.

Even wide open it gives enough sharpness to handle 47MP sensor. Being 20mm at short end makes it wide enough for me in 98% of situations where I need wide angle (while 24mm is good for about 80% of them and 28mm can handle only like 65% of situations, I enjoy making photos of the cities).

And additionally it has an advantage over 24-105 in handling direct sunlight. 24-105 is really bad at this...

And some pics )

Great photos, especially #2.

I plan to keep the 20-60mm even if I ever get a 20mm or wider prime as it's so versatile, compact and gives fantastic image quality. I probably use it just as much as the 24-70/2.8 because when I don't need speed it's a much smaller and lighter lens to take along.

Yeah, the 20-60 is quite the kit lens. Fantastic value for money. Here's a few from me...

That's pretty much how I use it. Great little lens

Big fan of mine. It gives me much hesitation in replacing it with a prime, as at 20mm it's not that slow for an ultrawide, not too big or chunky and gives excellent image quality
