I removed the faulty post and as the image has now been posted that should be fine for the purposes of the competition.

Later on in the year we will be going on a cruise around the Norwegian Fjords.
Any advice on what lenses would be appropriate for the trip?

Unfortunately not a good picture to test lens sharpness - the f1.7 aperture means that little of it is in acceptable focus.
Try a landscape shot at infinity or a newspaper closer up, but in the latter case make sure camera and subject are completely parrallel.

You really need the proper hood and I'm sure it can be ordered from a dealer. The price may well be scary though.

I'm not sure that there are many SD14 users in the UK.

It's interesting that an independent lens maker should feel the demand is there to warrant a new 50mm f1.4 lens.
They must see that they are selling and selling well.

The black and white image has possibilities, although the composition is a little too much like a series of horizontal stripes and something else may be needed.
The real thing that does need attention though are all the white specks. I think they would be better cloned out. As they are they look too much like a darkroom print with lots of dust spots.
I do like the set of images.
