My conclusion is that life is too short to bother as the main thing is that you won! And after telling us you didn't enter competitions....I'm very pleased you relented for this one.
Enjoy your extra year of membership!

IMHO we're far too shy about being successful in the UK.

It's a good lens that delivers the quality, the downside being bulk, weight and limited aperture.
Not for architecture, but for general pictorial work the barrel distortion is always acceptable and often not really noticeable.

Well done though, a well deserved win on a quite difficult 100th competition.
It's just a shame that the other piuctures from previous competitions seem to have been squeezed out through lack of space.

Yes, it was the 12-24mm and that was only just wide enough to squeeze all this in.

I do know that I don't feel any imperative to buy the 16-50mm f2.8 as opposed to my 16-45mm f4.....apart from anything else, do I need the extra bulk and weight?

The 55-300mm is a bigger lens, but is slightly better i think than the 50-200mm.
One advantage of the 50-200mm is that if you are also using the 18-55mm they share the same 52mm filter thread, so the same filters and accessories can be used on both.
