Great shot - works really well into the sun

Thank you for your messageI've done more than consider the 24TSE - I've just ordered one!  Pretty excited by this les having played with a friend's one at the weekend.  Now I've just got to learn...

Thanks for your comment and your links.You save some fabulous landscape shots.  The ones that strike me most of all are some of the mono landscapes and the ice ones on the blank beach....

HiI know your post was AGES ago but do you still have the lens for sale?ThanksMarcus

Hi allI've organised a trip to iceland in the summer and am pretty excited to have the rare opportunity to spend 5 days taking photographs, in a landscape that I've not seen before.  It's got my...

Oh - thanks for letting me know - I had no idea :)  And I hadn't seen the site before so very useful link for me.Cheers!Marcus

You are very kind and thank you.Yes - the reason I posted was to give the view that it's a better camera for this type of shooting than a DSLR in my experience.Thanks againMarcus

Unlike many others I think there are some wonderful provocative images here. I do agree though that the themes are a little narrow. I'm a Brit and we had some pretty spectacular positive stuff...

Settings were all standard.  I've done no tweaking at all yet.  Strange about the colour cast you are having - is it a white balance issue I wonder?Marcus

Hi allI bit the bullet and bought the X-E1 and XF35mm (from DigitalRev) and tried it out in Chicago (20 hours on a recent business trip - rather limited time).What a lovely walk around camera -...

I shot about 350 shots including some long exposures over a whole day out with mine.  So actually was quite impressed

Hi All shots including the B&W are straight out of camera.  The B&W were shot as B&W jpegs (normal black and white not filtered Red, Blue, Yellow etc)CheersMarcus

Hi thereThanks :)  Yes I was umming and ahhing over which lens to get but I know I'll buy a wide later so settled on the 35mm for now.It's Kings Cross station - it's fantastic you must visit if you...
