A larger (1200px) version is available on my website.

This panorama is composed of 3 photos (16mm f/2.8@f/10, 10s, ISO200) with the standard NEX5 lens, the E 16mm. I don´t like the flare though. It is unappealing to me. Some for the stars formed by using the small aperture. I don´t think I´ll use this lens for nocturnal photography often Smile

Another good reason to continue waiting for my adapters to arrive Confused

This will give a good base line shot for comparison to other lenses in the future - kit versus mf.

I have shot the same scene with a Summicron-R 50mm as well. Still under development... But it is very unfair to speak about a "comparison" Laughing Laughing Laughing
