Nice work, Tim. I love your unusual perspective on portraits. Well done.

Nice shot Paul.
The DA 12-24 is one of my favourite lens. It's sharp from corner to
corner
at f4. This lens always has space in my photo-bag :) This lens is also
good for 'portrait' shots even at 12mm (if used correctly). I've
posted a
portrait of my pentaxian friend earlier (her nickname is
SilentOkami :P)
and here's an other sample of her shot with DA 12-24 @ 12mm:

and one at 24mm:

but what I really like about this lens is the spot light rendering on
night shots. Here's an example:

So if anyone is considering this lens or not... do not hesitate. :)

Here's a shot of a drag car passenger cabin. It's the Dodge
Challenger
factory SS car that I shot last month. It's at ISO400, f4.5, 1/750th
and 12mm. The focus is on the steering wheel. I needed f4.5 to be
able
to light the black interior with the 540 and lightsphere diffuser. I
needed 1/750th to keep the background from burning out. There's some
Moire (sp?) patterning on the window net and the seat belt fabric,
but
I think that's a function of the lighting rather than the lens. This
is the full frame. At 100% the seams on the steering wheel wrap are
sharp. The lens has returned a lot of good results for me.
