Originally posted by Bunch I've really like what I've seen from the Venus 12mm.
I like that lens but use on my K-3 or K-3ii and it is among my favorites. For my uses my only complaint is that there is some slight coma wide open until you get to f/4 where it is gone and by slight coma I mean it is only noticeable at a 50% or greater magnification and only in the corners.
Originally posted by Bunch Longer than typical focal lengths for landscapes are underrated. I often used a 50 or 55 on my k-3, and I suspect i'll even use the 77 sometimes on the k1
I've gotten some nice landscapes using some long glass too, especially with sunsets. I've used my 50mm lenes, the 77, and the most recent keeper my 300mm. With that one I got a nice sunset shot from one of the county parks but with the narrow field of view had a very nice silhouette of the foreground objects that were way off in the distance but got the deep color near the horizon of second sunset with some clouds that were also near the horizon.
I guess I just kind of view lenses as tools and once you get comfortable with how they behave and what they do you find all sorts of uses for them. This is probably why I don't sell things, and haven't bought much of anything this year, well I did get the Laowa 12mm but that was because I needed a better tool for ultra-wide astrophotography since what I had was unusable for that task.
