I made a concentrated effort this cold February Friday afternoon and went out armed with above new lens at last and tried to capture the atmosphere and architecture of my ancient market town.
It is easy to get addicted to this lens at the cost of not using the others in the bag, Mmmm however I do LOVE it and think the mono suits it well, anyway here are a few to share:

PS) Does the sharpening look OK, I am getting to the stage when I can't see the wood for the trees!

I think they look great. You certainly turn out some good B&W shots. Keep it up.
BTW i think the lens is a 10-20 not a 20-20

A great set Lilly. I love the lighting on the second one.

A very nice set.

I am not sure why black & white suits architectural photographs so well.

Back in the 'olden' days, a lot of architectural photography was taken in black & white and it was not merely to save money but to obtain the 'contrasty' effect and the textures.

Beautiful and inspirational pics!

I think the amount and type of sharpening suits these particular images well. At least it does on the monitor I'm using at the moment.
