It simply never leaves my bag. Essential and exceptional wide angle for me.

Opened in Photoshop, the image shows far more detail.
In Web browsers Adobe RGB is particularly poor for greens in my experience.
Although Adobe RGB has a wider (or more versatile) gamut, I set my camera to sRGB for JPEGs.
Note to self: go to Japan.

They're fine for holiday snaps and to let the children play with, but even on the kayak, I just use the K5.
Water on the lens is a major hassle, nearly always ruining surface shots - surfing, playing, getting arty at water level. DSLRs with housings have much bigger lenses so the odd drop doesn't have such a devastating effect.
Image quality under water is obviously dependent on water quality Stan, but in rock pools or the Caribbean it is fine when fully submerged. Macros are good.

Plus - Cranes: not for me that one, and never understood the problem with converging verticals; isn't that what they do?
Number 1 I think.
Lloyds makes my neck hurt, very effective

One stop solution is good. The complicated stuff is hidden away in tabs for those that want it. The nude I recently posted in the gallery went to print without seeing Photoshop. And the event photography last weekend went no further than ACR batch process, and the client had it next morning. The other photographer is still working on hers.
The photograph is what matters, not the fannying around after and certainly not the talking to the nth degree about software interfaces.

Going in, or coming out don't show the bike at full lean.
Big bikes might look good coming out of bends if they're leaving darkies or pulling wheelies, but mostly they will just look like they're not fully committed.
