Nice series, Paolo I'm impressed with the strong light handling in that first shot...

I'm not! don't know if it's my copy, but it's almost touching how much it's able to resist flare. You just have to put the sun inside the frame and right on the edge of something in order to wreak havoc and get all sorts of colored flares. I noticed that right away, during my first stroll with it.
When I'm traveling and I bring this lens, I never take the hood with me (it's quite big BTW).

Another great set. I’m traveling today and now after seeing more of your shots, I’ll have to bring my 15mm laowa and hopefully I’ll get some interesting shots. But what to leave behind. Clothes. Haha. I’m traveling with family and they are expecting me to capture all the fun, but I want some creative time too. Just wish I could bring everything.

Love these shots, such a great way to see the world

To show what I mean... this was the first time I got to try the lens, in May 2017:

Piazza Santa Croce, at f/16

A statue on Ponte Santa Trinita, also at f/16

I've heard this works from 12mm onwards on FF... when the K-1VII comes out, and regular K-1s are 250€ apiece, it's going to be the first lens I try it with.
I'm in no hurry... I got my K-01 much earlier than I had anticipated (due to it being a marketing fiasco), and a K-30 as well (due to the ACB fiasco).

Excellent. The flare in that second shot is beautiful. But then, I'm a big fan of lens flare when it's used appropriately

The point of view and strong shadows in the first shot draw the viewer in very nicely. I like that one a lot.

Nice work!

I got great use from my DFA15-30 on the K-1 when I was in London two years ago. No surprise the 10-20 is equally handy on a crop body.

All of these are good uses of the lens, but the third one is the one that took my breath away!

Now you're exaggerating! thanks I'm quite happy with that, also because I took it at an ordinary location.

No, I'm not exaggerating.

I was using the mouse wheel to move down through the pictures, and when I came to that one I stopped "dead".

This lens can some times do magical things, and it turned that ordinary place into something else - kind of changed relationships and curves I guess.
t doesn't have "pixie dust", but it did something there.
