I went out this morning to try out my new 12-24mm zoom and ended up taking lots of photos with other lenses, as well as loosing my glasses. Here are some samples.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Wow -- I like them all!
I don't know which to choose as my favourite.

A nice set! The fence post abstract for me - everything nice and crisp!

Cheers!

Many thanks for the kind comments all.

The one thing I wonder is if the bokeh in the fence post shot would have been nicer if I had a Pentax macro lens rather than the Sigma. I doubt I'll ever know!

Best wishes, Kris.

The Fence Post! Might be even better, and more intriguing, cropped within the circumference.

Bummer losing your specs, not a problem on film for me but when I have to look at the screen...

I lost a pair in the garden last year and come the token autumn clear up I found the lenses sitting in their normal relationship but the frames had totally vanished
