Excellent travel reportage, Cosmin, you should try to sell the work to a magazine You always make careful choice of POVs to display the subject.
Unfortunately I can not say that I am equally impressed by the lens, the rendering seems flat and ordinary, exactly like my cheap 400D kit lens would do. Sorry!
And this is a pity because many of your pictures deserved better.
I think next time you travel, you should leave the AF lenses home, and take with you your best MF lenses, no matter if they don't cover all the focal lenght range like a zoom does. They will pay you back with stronger pictures. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Congrats, Cosmin!
This is a great collection of views of the city, thanks for sharing!
It's like I did a walk around by myself...
I also own the Pentax 18-55 DA from the kit, and although is a very capable lens and quite sharp for its price I do prefer the MF ones, even for quick shots on street. But it's not the lens who takes the pictures but the photographer and you did a great work!.

I went to Sibiu in 2000; I didn't spend very long there and in fact I'm surprised how much of this I don't recognise... but I have a feeling I might have stayed in a place just 'round the corner from where this picture was taken. |

Hella and thanks, many thanks everyone.
Unfortunately , my widest MF lens is a 28 mm one so I can use its focal lenght for architecture only using film camera. 42mm is not wide enough
Also I might used a too high compression for the Jpeg files.
Last year Sibiu was European Capital of Culture and therefore in previous years were made massive investments in the infrastucture of the town, the buildings, and many improvements were made to the informational system and some money spent for marketing. _________________ Canonet QL17 III
