Whichever of my three DA* lenses I need to use for a specific task: 16-50 zoom, 50-135 zoom or 200mm fixed focal length.
For graphic wide angle architecture shots the Sigma 10-20mm.
But I must say I'm greatly impressed with the DA 35 f2.4 AL lens which came bundled with my K3 when I bought it a couple of years ago - or was that the years ago now?. I suppose this is classed as a kit lens but what quality. And its so light when attached my K30; that pair make a great walk about street photography combination. Fantastic plastic,

I'm sure that Nigel was joking but there are still some camera club judges who come up with classics just like that. They would start by suggesting massive crops to the sky, say that the figures are too close to the bottom of the frame and then complain about the people being too small to see the catch lights in their eyes.
Thank heavens photographers like Bill have the wit and artistry to see beyond the norm. These eye catching images perfectly capture the spirit and atmosphere of the big skies and sweeping horizons of Eastern England.

Well spotted Gareth, a classic street photo.

Actually this isn't a polarized shot - its solarized, in PS and not with a filter at all. Polarization in colour can be very effective.

[quote:3496ace15f="McGregNi... Looks like a hefty bit of polarizing filter going on David? Thanks for joining in the 'shardmania' Glad you liked the pics guys.[/quote]I've used this process of polarizing mono pictures of modern architecture quite a few times, it brings out some of the stark details very clearly Nigel. But whenever I've attempted it with colour images the outcome is ghastly.

Thanks for sharing these Nigel, I'm sure a lot of PUF members will enjoy them every bit as much as I do. I like them all but 1+4 and the final one are outstanding for me.
I don't get to London often enough, not since 2012 when I photographed The Shard as it was nearing completion.
Here's a couple of contrasting Shardies from then.

The mono was shot on my K30 and the sharp end of The Shard on my K5.

I love cityscapes, especially when they are as exciting as this Nigel.
