Thanks, nice to see those - I lived in HD for a few years, a looong time ago (well, early 80s), good memories. What camera/lens did you use for these?

Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing.

I was very interested to know what lens was used as well because of the technical qualities of your shots, so I did a search and you mentioned getting the 12mm for your trip in Europe

What I see in those images is excellent contrast, no noticeable fringing and excellent sharpness in center frame, but relatively week corner performance.

Compared to my 11-22, the 12mm seems to have better contrast and better sharpness in center frame, and much reduced fringing. The 11-22 does not have perfect corners either but its performance does not vary drastically across the field.

Assuming these images were taken with the 12mm, they definitely demonstrate the issues involved with high levels (> 5%) of digital distortion correction. While still an excellent lens for most uses, I could think of better lenses for landscape photography.

Worry about the image that comes out of the box, rather than the box itself.

crisp, clear and sharp one of the best I have seen so far from this place.

Part were with 14-150 the Bridge shots...most with 12mm...I forget to stop it down and that would help a lot...the 12mm is a fine piece of glass...

Did these in a rush...all jpegs...EP3...A Mode...Sharp +2...Contrast +1...PP with Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery:

Tweak (if required) Exposure, Color, Contrast, NR, Sharp, Adjust Shadows and Highlights...

Single Point AF...Center or Spot Metering usually off the sky...love the sky colors Oly puts out...

STILL learning...

Wife is shooting with a NEX 5N and 18-55 and is really enjoying it...could not get her interested in m43...she has a great eye so I'm expecting some great phots from her as well...

I have to apologize to everyone...I used the 14-150 for ALL of these shots...sorry I couldn't remember when I switched lens and I was incorrect statng I used the 12mm...my apologies...

I have taken like 3000-4000 phots in the past week and the ole memory gets vague after all the good German Bier!!!

No problem at all. I really enjoyed this set. Anytime photos make me want to travel they must have been good.
