Beautiful and intriguing composition, Godfrey

Knowing how careful you are, that dividing line is meant to be slightly off horizontal, isn't it? (but the board under the weights is horizontal - am I right)

There seems to be a slight lens distortion. Too bad LR does not support the4 GXR lenses. Great photo though.

:) Thanks for looking!

There are very few straight lines in this photo, although some seem like that *ought* to be straight. I spent some time framing it when I took it, and only little minor correction was needed to re-level it and obtain the image I had in my mind as I took it. The wainscotting line and the line of the shelf and structures converge in one direction, the weights in the other. I like that it moves constantly as I study it, it achieves what I had in mind when taking it.

Thanks for the compliment.

Both the GXR A12 lenses are remarkably good on rectilinear correction, and both have a small and very manageable amount of CA.

This is the 28 mm in the very near field (horizontally, it's very close to full frame and that's a pretty wide field of view). I have a standard LR CA correction for it and could also take out all the barrel distortion easily (don't need a lens correction profile, a quick correction would be easy since it's all simple barrel distortion), but it really is quite small and only shows up in these kinds of very extreme close range photos with strong straight lines. As you might expect, the 50 is even tighter on barrel distortion and has a similar amount of CA.

I'm absolutely delighted with this camera. I haven't found anything that I can complain about. Even the AF speed is of very minor impact on the use I've put them to.

Can't wait for the M-Lens camera expansion module to arrive. I'm itching to see how the Voigtländer Skopar 50/2.5 works on it. :)

This little critter kept shifting position hoping I wouldn't notice it ... This was my third exposure after it had gone to the underside of the fence rail to which it was clinging.

Thanks for looking, comments always appreciated.
