Wide angle eh !!!
Might give it a try, I've been using the FA 50 - f1:1.4 and the K f1:1.2 quite a lot recently, the 'fishy' has been pushed to the bottom of the bag
Time to dust it off, me thinks

Hello to everyone.
I'm a newbie in here I just found this thread after entering a "face" I hope I have done it right and not broken your guide lines and its not the one that both points jump out at you ..

I took the image below, tonight, on a fly-over near Falkirk, Scotland, where there are 'on / off' ramps, and I thought they would add to the picture.
The amount of abuse and honking horns I got was unbelievable!!!
One guy even stopped on the fly-over and asked, " You a Copper or just a vigilante taking pictures of speeding cars ?"
Another guy stopped on the fly-over and started to get out of his car and approach me, but when I stood up from the camera, and showed my 6'2" - 19 stone frame, with a face like a dug lickin' pish aff a nettle ( * ), he soon got back in the car and made a hasty exit
( * ) translation - a dog removing urine from a stinging plant with it's tongue )

edit - lens info - K10D + Sigma 105 Macro @ f22 for 20 seconds ISO-100

I still feel this lens is under-rated.
It will give you a good range for street - shots, get in close at 18mm and take a step back for 55mm
