The one that pleases my eye the most is no.2 - nice warmth to it, and the elements of the shot are arranged harmoniously along diagonals.

Usual procedure is swap the rear caps and pocket the front cap. After using the lens i'll pat each pocket for the front cap, and, not finding it, look in my bag, pat my pockets again, retrace my steps while peering at the ground, and then, after a more thorough rummage, find it has mysteriously reappeared in my pocket.

These are gorgeous shots by the way.

I'd probably get my local camera shop guy to have a go for me. Obviously I'd buy a few bits and bobs so it was worth his while!

When you resize an image, it is resampled and ends up slightly blurry. You need to re-sharpen to correct this. Unsharp mask at 0.2 pixels and whatever level looks right will renew the sharpness.

There's two sigma miniwide ii 28mm lenses listed at 'The Camera House' for 25 quid each. I presume these are A lenses but i'd check first.

The sigma's a great little lens, and goes for about twice that on ebay. I posted some pics taken with the lens in my 'soft and sharp' topic last week. This is a close up shot wide open at f2.8.

resized all images to 800 pixels wide in Photoshop before saving in Photobucket which is the prescribed method, I believe.

Did you sharpen after resizing, Andrew?

I doubt the lens has any issues with sharpness that could be detected at this size.
