Makes for a good travel lens.. and can still meter with a polarizer.
You may find it complementing the shorter end your Panny covers as well.
Looks like a nice all round general lens to have.

How are photo prices and availability in your area ?

I have found myself once carrying around a 8MM Rokinon a 10-24 f/3.5-4.5G Nikkor & a 16-80 2.8-4F Nikkor
but usually it’s a hard decision when I can only carry one or none.

Who doesn't love holiday pics... Slide show, how about a MSTeams call?? Now that's a thought..

"This is little Johnny eating ice cream", "little Johnny dropping his ice cream".. "little Johnny with his head trapped in a metal railings fence", "little Johnny's best mate, Fred the Fireman".. "Oh this is little Johnny's mum running off with Fred".. oops the last one wasn't meant to be in the slide deck!!

Can they be better than cat pics?

I had a co-worker who collected stray cats and was much into photography, As in making lots of photos to show of her cats…

I don’t think she ever showed me photos of anything else exept once of some stars that she was all happy to get.

Went to the Cars and Coffee today. Hard as usual to frame the way I want with crowds and people walking in front of me. I really need to get a ~20mm lens, because while I love my 35mm, its real focal length is 50mm.. So for car photography at least it's super difficult to get a profile shot without having to back up a ton... which doesn't work in crowded areas.

Anywho, very light editing. Wanted to play with more realistic edits this time, as opposed to the Supra a couple weeks ago:

Chilean Nasturtiums.
Been told by 'an horticulturist' that they're the best display of the particular species on the west coast NA.
Bishwah!

Those are some beautiful flowers/plants! One of those things where you think you've "seen them all" and then you see even more that are also amazing.

This photo goes with the article I posted about the Gypsy Moth infestation in my area.

It's sad but has an artsy look to it so I posted it here. It's of an Oak tree that has been totally stripped of it's leaves. The Maple behind it has section missing and most of the rest of the leaves look like Swiss Cheese with huge holes in them.

Nice staging. What camera system are you using?

I love visiting old churches. I find them interesting and I feel their history/old age. I can spend a lot of time wandering about a church and its grounds. It is not unusual for me to feel a little melancholic around such places.
