Arcelor's coking plant in Seraing, Belgium. Nothing extraordinary in this shot, BTW. Just normal routine operation with a few badly sealed oven doors and a bit of excess gas being flared off in the background. Never mind the 50,000 people living within a two mile radius. Comments on the shot are welcome. As expected, the LX's light metering has proven itself totally inadequate with such scenery. It suggested 8 secs while at least 30 are needed to get some detail into the shadows and 60 secs is about right. Yet, nothing to be ashamed of. I've never sen anything meter correctly under such conditions. I'd be quite happy if there weren't this nasty barrel distorsion of the 24 mm lens. Contrary to the details given on the linked page, it's the A2.8/24 mm. Anything else in this focal range that would be a little more linear? Ralf -- Ralf R.
