Serge,
I do have the f2.8 version of the 16mm, but I only post the f3.5 ai in this thread? The change in Malaga and Torremolinos since 1970 is astonishing. The La Colina Hotel in Torremolinos was surrounded by sugar cane fields and navel orange orchards. I could walk to Malaga, and a nearby plaza. Decades later I told a co-worker about how pastoral or rural it seemed (not withstanding the cathedral in Malaga), and the beautiful landscapes. She came back with photos of the coast featuring high rise buildings as far as the eye could see. I didn't even recognize it anymore. These two are from an Argus C3 my first camera - thought you might find it interesting.
Has anyone heard from Glen? He mentioned a while back that he was swamped with work but that has been a while. Hope all is well.
Samy, excellent work with the 55/1.2 and great soft colors at the Baltimore water front. Terrific saturated colors above with the heavy duty gear, it sounds complicated..
James, great captures with the 16/2.8 fisheye a few pages back. One does not see much of the f/2.8 version around here.
Andy, excellent photographs and color. The landscape with the clouds is killer.
Brad, great captures at the concert.
Scott. great light from the Maine waterfront.
A day trip to Malaga from Sevilla to meet friends. I have very few photographs since most of the day was wasted with travel.
The marina, not your run of the mill floating vessels. Unlike Sevilla, Malaga had a boat load of modern condo type buildings.
Walkway along the marina, it was packed.
X-E1 + 28/2.8 AIs

James, thanks for the links and nice photos for a beginner. Those are great views.
That is an amazing difference from present day Costa Brava. The waterfront area of Malaga is a tad over developed and modern for my taste and suspect the same applies to Marbella and Torremolinos. I much prefer the old world historical cities of Spain which have a more relaxed feel.
