Nice shot Paul. The DA 12-24 is one of my favourite lens. It's sharp from corner to corner at f4. This lens always has space in my photo-bag :) This lens is also good for 'portrait' shots even at 12mm (if used correctly). I've posted a portrait of my pentaxian friend earlier (her nickname is SilentOkami :P) and here's an other sample of her shot with DA 12-24 @ 12mm: http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/3015094347/
and one at 24mm: http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/3015927916/ but what I really like about this lens is the spot light rendering on night shots. Here's an example: http://www.pbase.com/timbercode/image/96785385 So if anyone is considering this lens or not... do not hesitate. :) Cheers, .t > Here's a shot of a drag car passenger cabin.
