And ebookman - that seagull shot on the previous page is breath-taking! (Great as is, though I think a gentle shadows-boost and highlight-reduction from raw or the original jpg could be even better. I'd gladly try another version; let me know if you have any interest.)
A couple with my new Sigma 30 and my new Nex7. I'm getting the hang of this thing and really enjoying it. And the performance of the little sigma is remarkable for the money. Forgive my prior indescretions with heavy handed pp.

The stitch is cool, but the plain shot has a lot more power.
yeah, at this size i agree. i'm thinking the stitch will have more impact printed large though. i wish i'd thought to bring my g45 boarding, i think i could have gotten a cooler shot with it.
i recently got the $199 sigmarit pair. i hate the fact that i can't turn the focus rings without the lens zooming in, but i've been very happy with what i see from the 19mm. i'd nearly forgotten how much i like 28mm. makes me kinda excited about the new sony 20mm as a compact carry everywhere lens.

The 35 Ultron is sharp, but low contrast, much like the original 28/1.9 Ultron. Solid lens, but lacking in the sort of character I look for.
I didn't quite like the Ultron 28. The lower contrast of them probably makes them good candidates for anyone who leans towards B&W photography though.
Sebboh, those shots are amazing. I was considering a Contax 28 but I think that the Sigmas are so good my money is going to the extremes of focal length to fill out my kit.
Brian, that is perfection in composition and timing. Wonderful shot!
And PlasticMotif you know what I say about that lens already, I like it.
Folks, Plasticmotif is the reason I'm in here.. Waiting for the 50 1.4 he sent me to arrive.
I'm still working hard on my Old School Challenge for feb, B&W and only dodge, burn and crop.
