Nice idea, Godfrey, to share those samples.
I wasn't yet very used to the A20mm on film when I switched to
digital and it became a 30mm-lens. So looking at your pics I see
that my decision to go with the 16-45 zoom as wide-angle lens was
right - just for me. 16mm resp. 24mm on 35-film is just wide enough
for me most of the time. No real need for a wider lens.
90 degree diagonal field of view has been my widest desire for a long
time, that's what the DA14 is all about for me. The 16-45 might have
been enough, I just didn't like using it very much.
BTW I've recently read an advice concerning the proposal for a
minimum travel equipment (was on trekearth if I remember right);
said that a 28 or 24mm lens and a 50mm lens on the digital body
might be enough for a lot of purposes. That opinion corresponds to
my experience in the alps some weeks ago. Nothing really new,
though ...
I'm heading to NY for 9-10 days. I'll be carrying the FA20-35 and 50,
perhaps one other focal length.
