Fantastic stuff. Mind me asking which lens you used for these?
Thanks, everyone. I was directed here by somebody (nick escapes me), but became very interested when I began exploring the Speed Booster thread.
alwang: I appended the lenses used into the original post. I use my native E-mount lenses the most, but that is now bound to change now that I have an EF-to-E Speed Booster.

We don't see a lot of images here with the Sony 10-18, but I don't know why: it's clearly an excellent lens. I'd be surprised if you're going to find a better wide option using the Speedbooster (though it will certainly be nice for narrower fast-aperture stuff).

Oh, I mis-communicated my intent. It would indeed be difficult to find a significantly better UWA to replace the SEL1018, at least at the mid and wide end. Aside from a couple of Contax CZ primes I already have, the Speed Booster was meant to to be used with a 35mm (haven't decided between the Sigma DG HSM, Canon IS USM, or even a used CZ ZE) in lieu of the SEL24F18, and something 85mm-ish. I intend to further explore the limits of low-light social photography. I was just musing that I'd be a little busy for awhile playing with the new toys.
DtEW, welcome to FM. Regarding UWA, I have high hopes for the forthcoming Zeiss 12mm f:2.8. Considering its mooted price and that it is a prime, if it didn't outperform the cheaper Sony zoom, why would anyone buy it?

here's a 9 image stitch with the sigmarit 19mm:
That is an arresting image. I love it! I have come to assume from reading on the forum that these kinds of images are put together in Photoshop. Is that correct? I may be the last person on the forum who does not own or use Photoshop. I use LR and I am not sure why I would need additional software. Is stitching the main reason for more software?
