great shots, looks like a good lens, (and in good hands) .....#3 looks like it's missing the "Windows logo" in the corner!

It's the samyang 14/2.8. It depends on how you determine focal length someone posted the samyang actually, by FOV edge to edge works out to 13.5. Vivitar calls it a 13 everyone else a 14. When they first came out they showed a different optical formula but when I bought mine at B&H it was identical

very very nice series, that last is almost surreal --- I love the barn and can't wait to try that technique with the barn down the road ... thanks for sharing
