Mine was to arrive today but the Post Office is closed. These pictures are really nice with good sharpeness for a lens that does 7mm (14mm eq)
I'm weakSo the 7-14 is in stock at Amazon right now for $1100... So a few shots to tempt those on the sidelines:
Must buy lens... Must buy lens...
Sorry, that was sort of mean...

Ken, you almost had me with your first 2 shots... beautifully sharp right into corners. What happened to the 3rd?So the 7-14 is in stock at Amazon right now for $1100... So a few shots to tempt those on the sidelines:

Nice series Ken! Though I'm a little puzzled by the color on the third one -- do the pink clouds in the background look like they have an odd color layer, or is it just my eyes?

I'm not thrilled with the color processing on the third, I was thinking I might need to revisit it and based on the feedback I guess it is back to the drawing board!
Brian, are you thinking it is looking unsharp at this small a size or just ugly colors/composition/something else?
Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, crap, I knew I should have stayed out of this thread. Wonderful shots.

Ken, the bottom left corner looks smeared/out of focus?
The other two have got me hovering on the 'buy' button... outstanding!
Thanks for sharing, these are terrific. :thumbs:
Also, Jack and Guy you've both done excellent sets... which raw converter did you use?
Cheers

Ah, that could be. I actually was shooting other compositions when I quickly decided to do a vertical composition in this direction. Tripod mounted, but composed and shot very quickly and I wouldn't be surprised at all if I didn't get the DOF and focus point quite right.
I know on another board you just recently posted "Friends don't let friends pixel peep..." but at the risk of not being considered your friend here are links to full resolution versions of each photo:
Dead Wood Full Res
Moving Rock Full Res
Devil's Golf Course Full Res
If you are interested you can PM me and I'll be happy to put up the RAW files on a site for you to download so you can use your own processing/sharpening work flow (you seem a trustworthy guy
).Ken
I can't look....I can't look.....I can't look.......
Damn.......I just looked :bugeyes:
Oh well.....it was either this lens or the Leica 45mm macro......and that comes in tomorrow.
WHY do I come here????

Re: Colour Processing
If you're using Photoshop simply try "Auto Colour". It does more than just adjust the colours and I wouldn't say it's perfect nine times out of ten but I run all my shots through the Auto Colour just to see what the program thinks and believe me, it saves a lot of wasted time in many instances and it's just a click away. It's one of those commands that because it includes the dreaded word "Auto" many disregard it with an "only-wimps-use-auto" attitude; wrong move
If I may be so bold ...

Hi Ken, you're very kind - these full size jpegs are fine... I can definitely see some smearing right in the corners, which is most obvious in the last shot.Ah, that could be.

It's good to know what to expect, I don't think it's a show stopper!

I'm seriously thinking of selling my 20 and my kit lens to buy this lens only. If I can find a 7-14 at a good price. I am pushing the 14mm on the kit lens to go wider every time and I'm not using the 20mm all that much. Of course this is my fun kit so it may not matter past 14mm but a 7-14 and new 45mm maybe the ticket.
I'm not after a fast lens like the 20mm. Anyone that may want to trade me let me know soon before my buy button starts itching again.
