nice series Rob
the correction on the zenitar is impressive
the colors of the sp 28-80 are interesting
the pinhole don't convince me as I have seen many perfect true pinhole

Nicely taken pictures Rob, the Zenitar looks great. Your correction of the vertical lines looks a little over-done to me, however. My eyes expect the top of a church tower to look smaller than the base because of the perspective, and making the lines perfectly vertical gives the tower the optical illusion of being larger at the top than the bottom. Is that the reason the top of the churchyard wall looks curved too? I wouldn't mind seeing the uncorrected versions.

I know what you mean about converging verticals. You’re dammed if you don’t straighten them and damned if you do. In 90% of cases I like straight.
The wall is curved, The Road is a sharp bend. The fisheye Zenitar only just got the shot.

Sorry about the Fake pinhole shot. I am just being facetious. I don’t have much opinion about pinhole photography.

(Sacrilege, string him up!)
