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.
thanks and great shot!
that thinking sounds wise the sigma 30 is extremely good and sharper than the contax in the corners (the contax appears to be sharper in the center, but they're both very sharp there). i like the contax colors and pop better and much prefer the ergonomics of the camera with a manual focus lens though. i suspect the sigma 30mm will just be for my wife.

that was my feeling as well when i had the Sigmarit for a month, nice lens but it lacks the G28's character
After a long pause i could do some decent landscapes today:
delray 2.5.134352e by artistwithlight, on Flickr Sunny and Brad. Minolta pancake 45mm, something I noticed enough in these forums to pay attention. MIne was $30 and another $10 for the adapter... what a steal.
It is. Quite prolific down here this time of year. It's a series I have been working on for a while. I wait till they puff up just right, and are laying in the right spot. For some reason, they won't do poses.
That's a cool set Noodlz, the first and third being my clear faves.
I have a few more walkabouts with the Planar 1.7/50 on 5n. Never much liked the 50mm FOV on aps-c before but after using nothing else for a few days/walks, it's growing on me.

sweet, you just need to talk to their agent to get them to pose for you.
Dunno how you managed that..
