Thanks Rob. The humble old kit lens gets the job done!

My DA-L 18-55mm AL WR doesn't get much use these days, but it is still my widest rectangular lens and the only WR lens in my collection and therefore still indispensable for me.

Some pictures taken with the Kit-lens and my K-3.

A Stream in Upper Austria.

Pedestrian Overpass in Linz, Austria.

Whiteout on a glacier in the Austrian Alps.

I love the shot of the overpass - great angle, perspective depth, colours and details, and even some light trails as a bonus feature. Well done!
