I finally have a 20-40mm Ltd

When I had one I felt that one of the strengths of the 20-40mm was in capturing subtleties of colour and light and thereby making otherwise unremarkable scenes look interesting. Without meaning to offend, I would regard the processing here as heavy-handed and likely to remove any such subtleties so that would obscure one of the main strengths of the lens.

No offence taken, as I explained already, I know my style of processing is not for everyone

Update on my feelings about the 20-40mm. I LOVE it! Took it out again and this time shot in RAW and very pleased with the results. This lens is definately a keeper.

4,5 and 6 are really interesting. The lens does manage to pop even without editing but it's nice to see different takes.
It's probably the dehaze slider that's doing a little too much but they're striking images.

All the gear with no idea

Now before anyone says anything about my processing, that's my style and I know it's not to everyones taste but that's fine.
But i find myself liking numbers 5 and 6 a lot
Thanks for sharing these
