Don't know about the lens, but the pictures (specially the first) are great Glen.

[Greg Beetham]

Yeah, I agree that first image is really good.

ps. Glen, I notice that a shed on the end of a jetty is popular there, what is the purpose of those?

[camperbc]

Greg, those buildings at the edge of the water are called stages, and for generations have been used for the processing and storage of the catch-of-the-day. Even today most of these stages are used by the local fishermen for this purpose.
Thanks for your kind comments.

However it feels you've been a bit heavy with sharpening in postprocessing (or is this straight from the lens?).

[Greg Beetham]

For my own part I never bother to pixel peep any image or look in the exif, I only look at the image composition, whether the content is interesting-rare-unique, and the exposure, and decide if it's something I like. I'm not even bothered by some slight noise, photos have always had some minor grain/noise of some sort somewhere, too me if an image is devoid of any noise it looks kind of fake.
So if I like an image (sometimes I'm not even sure why), I say so. At first I wasn't totally happy with the not complete boat on the left, but after a while I thought it wasn't really all that important and let it go, and gave it the compliment I thought it deserved.

It's a good series, and your compositions are brilliant--don't give the credit to the lens, though. I can see plenty of chromatic aberration in both pictures, but I must agree, it is miles better than the old 18-70.

Sharp sight you must have, Kevin. Where did you see those CA? I noticed none.

[Dr. Harout]

Glen, I got interested in those CA Kevin mentioned about. Would it be possible to post a 100% crop of the first shot, just on the edges of the house, please?

[Greg Beetham]

The image looks ok on my monitor, nice and clean...just looking at the image 'as is' of course.

I especially like the first one. Great work!
