The DA 21 does (mostly) redwoods:

And that last bumb reminded me I also have a keeper with the DA21mm I can share.

The Icecarver.

Based on 2 months spent in the Netherlands 15 years ago and my extensive knowledge of the Dutch language, let me guess..."IJS KOUD" means "ICE COLD" in English?

Legacy lenses look good on the K-S2.

Observation tower at Sheldon Lake State Park, Tx. The solar panels provide power to the lighting and the elevator. The elevator was broken the day that I went. I suspect that it was infested with Red Wasps. There were quite a few of them coming and going through the door opening at the top.

Appropriate jacket for an ice carver.

Oh, yes! The only thing missing is a real cold winter. We haven't had one for quite some time.

When we have a proper winter we don't carve ice, we skate on it!

So I finally got me one....

It's a lens that I will have to learn, for sure... it doesn't behave like my other lenses. It's bolder in colors and at the same time delicate in its sharpness... and it brings out so much reds, I don't even know what to do with them!

Great shots! Do you prefer this 21mm over, say, the 15mm? I'm going to buy one or the other. I'm just stuck on which one.

Hey, you realize you just replied to a post from 2009, right?

That's me! A day late and a dollar short. Well, I'm sure that the HD version of that lens is just as good!

All you have to do is search for recent posts from northcoastgreg in this thread. He has the HD version and is able to extract much more from it (or any other lens) than most of us

so yeah the HD version is a good lens and by some accounts, better at the edges than the SMC (which is still a fine lens as well).
