The Sigma Superwide 24mm and KP make for a good looking/useful combo, how do you find the metering? The reason I ask in the past I had this set-up and found that it tended to over-expose the photos, your results look great, are you having to make EV compensations or processing from raw, anything like that? (Thinking of getting another Superwide).

Thanks Rick,
I can't say for certain it overexposes, never noticed, but I generally have the KP underexposing (but not as much as the K1 mkII BTW) and after checking this shot it was by a 1/3rd of a stop.
I did take these shots with bracketing enabled, I had to be sure with the opportunity presently at hand, the weather forecast was dire for the week and I couldn't believe the light on these rocks, the colours were as seen. Taken at 15:18 hours it was still worth it IMHO.
I had to check the WB as currently set to K1 (5500K) and wasn't sure when I changed it, but in Raw data it was set to Auto WB. Natural and in Av mode.
PP'd in Rawtherapee V5.10. but I don't remember doing much or taking long to process.
I always get more 'keepers' from the KP.

Thank you guys for the comments, apologies for the lateness but the Spam post (now deleted) hung around for too long.

The first two are my choice, with the colour one tops, fine as they are without any crop.

The first one for me, but all look good in IR.

One sunny day out of seven. KP and old Sigma superwide II (for lightness during hiking).

Well done Gareth, an excellent well deserved achievement. Although I had heard of the RPS I'm showing my ignorance by admitting to reading up on their website, your pictures certainly inspire and educate, good for you and all the best for the future 👍

Thanks Steve, the house definitely looks lived in, curtains, blinds, lamps etc. here is another shot of a different house coming up - (hopefully, I've been messing with Firefox security and stuff and can't add image)
It's amazing the housing really, there is the rumble of trains and quite a clang, clanking when a HGV runs over a section on the Tamar Bridge - pretty regular. I was amazed at the parking on the steep hill down, good handbrake required!
