Hi guys,

If some of you have the spare time.. would you care to look at boring pictures to evaluate my lenses?
I've shot them with an K-50 on a tripot with the 2s timer and convertet them in lr5 from raw to jpg

If you need something different or better please do not hesitate to ask

for all those who advised me and think... he does not listen!!:
I like your advise but i got the 16-85 as a wedding present :P

regards Sascha

The only thing that jumped out at me is that the DA 55-300 looks a lot sharper at 300, than the 16-85 fully zoomed in at 85. Surprising. Looks like you got a really good copy of the DA 55-300

big wide landscape shots, with minimal sky in the shot, will tell you a lot more about lenses than shooting fences.

I thought the grain would be useful

fences and walls are tough, because the front element of the lens needs to be perfectly parallel to the flat object being shot... tilted angles there could translate into soft sides.

fences can be good for looking at distortion, tho, they definitely have a place.

That was why I thought you'd chosen fences, even before I saw this reply.
