Goose and gander?

I enjoyed viewing the lovely image in the colour balance in the landscape article displayed on the front page. Clicking on the link in the article lead me to the full portfolio containing some exquisite landscape work. It is highly recommended viewing. The image quality is stellar, I particularly liked the super clean skies in the night shots and fine detail on show throughout. It is just the kind of landscape work that I aspire to achieve some day(actually just dream about more likely). So naturally the equipment used is of interest. Seems that we won't be able to talk about that bit though.

LOL, yes I had done the same thing, yes great stuff, and yes was then left scratching my head a bit. They use a different brand pic for an article on the site, then ban any discussions of other brands? Huh??

It has certainly stimulated my interest in the Pentax 14-24mm F2.8G AF-S ED

Ha, yeah, though I understand the DA* 16-35mm f4 VR also supposed to be a contender.

It has the advantage of taking filters, but the 14-24 does look something else. I wonder if you can get a Pentax-Pentax adaptor for it.

LOL

Tried the Sigma 8-16? You'll have seen the results from axel and now Jon. I was an early adopter and rate it with my FA77 as a must have. Even when axel jumped ship to Pentax the 8-16 was re-bought instantly.

I haven't tried the Sigma. It is really too wide for me in most circumstances so would be a luxury. So why am I interested in the 14-24, just because it looks so damned good.

I wonder if it's OK now to post images on this site taken with a Canon. As long as you don't tell anyone
