They say buying a house is one of the most stressful activities possible. They're not kidding, and we haven't even chosen the damned thing.
We're house-hunting at the mo, and at the risk of jinxing any potential purchase, i go to viewings with a camera and do some quick and dirty snaps so I can review later over a large glass of impertinent red. The Pentax K15mm f/3.5 comes in very useful for this, although on the 1D, the image is cropped slightly - still a very good wide angle lens. Here's one such house we saw recently. All interiors at 800 ISO wide open at f/ 3.5 - wasn't watching shutter speed, just snapping away. All shots high quality jpeg with AWB, minor adjustment in PS for colour and sharpening. Rough and ready. <http://www.cottysnaps.com/houses/cornstreet.html> (Don't bother if on dial-up - two dozen shots at about 80 kb each, zzzzz.) I loved the house but my SO didn't, and after an almighty row a few hours later, we have passed and are continuing the search for the impossible, sigh. Breaks my heart to look at these pics, but I suddenly appreciated the Pentax 15mm, and thought I would share. No comments necessary.
