Paul, google 'defishing', you can dowload free software that can defish the lens, effectively giving you a regular wide angle lens. Might be worth a try for when you want wide angle without the distortion.

I voted 10, it's not straight though;)

Relax, it's a Sony sensor ;)

Scott I would stick with what you have, f5.6 is a perfect aperture for a 'landscape' lens indeed stop it down to f8 and you probably have the perfect balance of sharpness and dof. Why do you want faster in such a lens? A wide angle doesn't especially lend itself to bokeh or low dof and is...

Well the subjects not the most ineteresting and the composition is poor at best. Ask yourself what you achieved from a long exposure? No movement in the pic or anything that simply switching to a higher iso wouldn't have achieved. I am not sure if you are trying to do night photography or...

Was in London again yesterday, wasn't really planned, just picking up the Mrs but we stayed for some night shots again:o

I think it's a Printed circuit board mate, looks like a dusty motherboard!

Tate Dwindell?

Yes that's m 4/3rds better than a compact.

On long exposures or normal? Heres the best tip for everyone doing long exposures, turn OFF any stability control system ;) Its also taken with a tack sharp macro lens and a downsampled 24 megapixel file.

Barrel distortion is easily correctable in post. It should not even be a consideration!

I wouldn't have bothered rising to it mate! The harder you work the luckier you get;)

Given I've just done this (yesterday!) I probably won't go again so soon but would offer the following advice. Travel light, travel superlight! Don't carry a full-size tripod, just a mini one. Wrap up warm and take water! Did I say carry the bare minimum of kit? ;) Walking around London for...

Scott all 3 shots are awesome! Well done! Will read and digest the guide! I prefer the stars in the last pic!

A table top tripod will get you 95% of shots around the Thames as you can rest it on ledges

Yep sounds :cool: Shard by Brazo76, on Flickr

Cheers Dan, spent 8 hours togging in London yesterday! Not bad for a macro lens ;)

I'll be honest I wouldn't like to be alone in a place like that with £££'s of camera equipment, I would need a large mate ;)

Great Scott

That's just been released on Nex too, although god knows why a system that is short on lenses now has two fisheyes, maybe to match the two 30mm primes and two 18-200's!!!!!!!

Agreed, it's a fine shot imo.

Love the first shot Dan, stunning!
