A 7-14 favor....

[laingjd]

If anyone has a 7-14 mm and could take a quick shot of the horizon line at 7mm and one at 14mm, I\'d sure appreciate it.

:) could show you a lot of photos as I\'m living here since 1998, but only have my 7-14mm for a couple of days now and Lufthansa didn\'t allow me to go out shooting too much ;)
but I\'ll be off to a short holliday trip into South African \"Outback\" for a couple o days from Sunday - hope to do more with my new jewel :)
but here is another shot with 8mm, done one morning on a \"doggy-walk\" before going to work... http://fourthirdsphoto.com/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/images/P9197288w.JPG

Thank you very much. I must now buy this lens!

[jan56]

:) You will not regret, at first I thought it\'l be too heavy and bulky but at first sight when I hold it in hand I felt very common with it as I used to work with the 24mm shift which is similar in width and somhow feels same - also the big ball of front lens is nearly the same ;)
the images are really great - will post some more if you gimme some time :P
and it gives you really the wide feeling used to have on a 2.0 21mm Zuiko of my good ol Oly OM 4-Ti ...
happy shooting and best regards,
Jan

Beautiful Shots.....
That is exactly what I wanted.
The depth of field interests me.
Just one question......
Do you use auto focus or do you use the hyperfocus when you shoot those wide shots?

[admin_old]

Hi, the focusing on it is very little. Its marked for 1 M and then infinity. So There isn\'t much to focus room.

[jan56]

Hi, I\'m back from hollyday :) so I can post some more shots next couple o days. The photios I took so far I did with autofocus.
The debth is amazig\\ng as I can show you later. Object very close and infinite landscape after :)
it\'s a great lens which I used nearly most , next to 50-200mm and 50mm macro....
more later guys ;)
