First time trying out a cheap wide angle lens - the Cosina 19-35mm zoom - and I'm very impressed with it's clarity. Certainly not the sharpest wide angle lens you'll find, but for someone like me who doesn't really use a wide angle often, it is certainly more than acceptable. These lenses can be picked up in the UK for about £100 brand new, and for anyone on a budget and struggling to get to the 'wide' side on their digital SLR, they represent excellent value for money.
VEEERRRYY COOL! Well done Barry, compliments galore for a great crisp full on contrast B&W shot - the shadows and perspective are just perfect in my eyes, Cherie
p.s. I'm not there yet, I mean at doing such excellent crisp shots like yours, I'm a bit blurry... ;) think I need a new camera or possibly a pair of seeing glasses - I don't think I need to wear any... hm. Dr?
