No I don't think you've lost your marbles. I now have a fuji and 12 touit for my landscape work and get excellent results...

Youtube is your friend, I did the same, after a few weeks it all becomes normal...

I have just got a Samyang 12. The main issue you should be aware of is that it is a fully manual lens with no electrical interface to the camera so any in camera adjustments will not be made. However that aside I find it easy to use with the f stop selection ring being positive and easy to see...

Surely this equation fits where N is the number of lenses owned.... N + 1

What a loss, but a ridiculous price for a lens....

I would crop the sky out as I find it is a large uninteresting area.. after al the focus is on the canal and boat.

Being a cameraphile i am seeking opinions on "must have" accesories for my newly aquired X-E1. The camera has a spare battery and is complete with the 18-55 lens. I was thinking of wrist strap... Which one? 1/2 case again which one?

As RLJ say make sure whatever make you go for, that they have electrical connections to allow the camera to communicate the lens for bot f stops and focusing etc. I guess the cheaper ones are just the hollow tube variety.

I also use energizer in my flash as well as other equipment such as apple key board and trackpad. They seem to hold their charge for a long time and have never let me down to date. hope this helps.

Hardly a landscape though

Many thanks for this, a useful tip. Its a pity Colour Efex Pro 4 doesn't open in the same way?

I also think a crop would work, straight behind the last car as all behind it is just clutter.

I have a Feisol cb-70 again a little expensive but camera porn....

Small and lightweight, it does both well.. Good new prices on ebay too.

I have the giotto vitruvian with a ball head, light and compact seems to do the job. Leg comes off to form a monopod. However does creep when loaded with heavy lens. http://www.giottos-tripods.co.uk/index.php?page=productpage&product=4b83be9116e5c
