Anyone used the Siggy and Tamron 35mm lenses and share opinions on both?
Where’s the soldier ‘statue’ taken?Back from up North. Didn't take too many photos as wanted to travel light for the most part. Couple of pics from my travels with the 35mm f2D - no editing done yet apart from cropping.

Doh took the wrong lens that day
Yeah didn't realise this show was on otherwise I would of taken the 70-200 to bovingtonNot bad though. 70-200 territory...
Sounds like I need to pay this spot a visitHeres one I took a few weeks ago. Its a neolithic burial site next to a church a short distance from where we live in Brittany. It is said ( by a woman we met there) to have healing properties if you stand in the right spot. Apparently the " magnetism" will cure all ills ( and the water in the fountain a short walk away apparently cures earache!)
So, not one to rubbish the French belief of all things magical, especially in Brittany, and having been recently suffering from a painful lower back, I stood in the spot for a while.
Result......no more back ache since!
These Neoliths and Druids knew what they were doing.......

Anyone used a Nikon 28mm f2.8d. Bought one at a very reasonable cost but having read a couple of reviews I’m having buyers remorse.
I've had a couple in the past. I don't think they're all that bad actually and represent great value. I don't think they're much use wide open but other than that, perfectly okay.
Cheers pal. Probably just over thinking as usual.
Been let loose with Mrs. Chuckles' D750 (and finding it difficult to give back)

Love the train shot, but would prefer a straight B&W conversion. Nice detail on the panorama but the horizon isn't straight. Sorry, it's the first thing I notice...
Maybe a true B/W conversion would work as well.... wanted a slightly aged look.
As for a slopey horizon I beg to disagree - I was born and brought up on the Isle of Wight and one thing I hate is a wonky horizon. If you want to argue there's a bit of 'barrel distortion' I'd agree but as for water running off into one corner then I stand my (level) ground!
Who's 3rd shot?Third shot is a beauty my friend!
Doesn't matter how wonky the IOW is, the sea meeting the sky is straight. It is wonky, only very slightly, but it is.
Who's 3rd shot?
