The earth is not flat!

Here we can see that Gallilei was right, the earth is not flat but round!

Yes, it was actually no question to get the E18-55. It has OS and 18-55 is a useful range (though I'd love to have an E16-80!!).

I had only doubts if it was worth getting the E16/2.8. But with the kit I bought it was only 90 Euro extra, so I got it. If I don't like it I can sell it for more. Or maybe get the 12mm wide-angle add-on to have real wide-angle. And it's really tiny, if you want to go out light.

This reminds me about the joke how a mathematicien catches a herd of sheep: He encloses himself by a fence and defines his position as outside :mrgreen:

Ha! a very smart mathematician that one, he's 'caught' every sheep on the planet. :lol:
The pic is a little disconcerting tho...at first.

Good shot and good joke, Bossel! : )

It's a an interesting 'phenomenan' if it should happen and worth giving a mirthful thinking...Lots can come out of this; what'll the ships do that want to make way towards a horizon; how would the sunrise and sunset look? How will the soup in one's plate act like ?

And much more... : )

Hi Thomas - as well as the interesting horizon I really like the blue of the sea and the surf rolling on to the beach - a lovely scene when seen from a grey office block with the sky low and grey, and the rain pouring outside :(
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
