Nice hill shots! Nice backyard you have there! Looks to me like somewhere around Marinwood or Ignacio.
Good eye! Lucas Valley, so very close to Marinwood.
Quote: I ordered my 10-24 a couple days ago, promised (PROMISED!) to be here before Xmas. But now I'm apprehensive about what I'll receive. What a worrywart! When questioned here, the B&H rep wouldn't say which of the ultrawides has the worst return rate, just that << few lenses are returned >>. Maybe most customers aren't as picky as we highly-informed PFC members? Anyway, I guess I must find a reliable brick wall to shoot in a few days. Or some well-flattened roadkill. There aren't too many flat, patterned surfaces in my neighborhood.
That's why I love Amazon. Their shipping and return policy can't be beat. I'm hoping that the Tammy was just a bad copy. Then again, I distinctly remember the UPS guy basically *dropping* my box on the floor in fron tof my door. I could hear it hit the ground from my office! I remember thinking I hope it's packed well, and then opening the box to find just one air cell on the side, and no bubble wrap surrounding the box. Maybe it got knocked out of whack?
I should have my replacement today, as well as the Sigma. I will report back with my findings, but please let us know how your copy turns out.

A: Because when you ask them a hard question, they shrug.
... And when you tell them the answer, they slap their head.
