Buy one, use it for your trip, then sell it if you don't want to keep it.

I still like the original better. The processed version looks unnatural. Good effort though.

HDR helps with scenes that have extremes of dark and light areas and ideally needs multiple bracketed exposures. Your scene doesn't fit that criteria. It might be interesting to experiment but I doubt the original would be improved.

Perhaps you need this to go with it.

No 3 for me, it would have I think made a nice HDR shot.
This scene certainly does not need HDR treatment. It's perfect as it is without being ruined by unnecessary processing.

Now, that miner's lamp shows me that your lens has an 18 leaf iris?
PhotoMe doesn't show the lens data except that it was shot at 16mm. That leads me to think that the lens used was the one stated in the original post, the DA*16-50mm, which has a 9 leaf iris.

"No problemo" is an often quoted phrase coined by Arnie in one of the Terminator series of films. It is nevertheless incorrect because the word problemo does not exist in the Spanish language. Arnie should have brushed up on his Spanish beforehand and if he had done so, he'd have said "No problema".

Here endeth the Spanish lesson for today (and probably always).

I hadn't twigged that it was an advert. The fees would be astronomical and he could have egg on face if somebody did bid. He surely hasn't got 2 sets.
