The paneled arches and the dome reminds me a lot of the train station in wellington, new zealand.
Very nice shot!

Thanks Quite surprised how well the sigma performed when traveling around the country, took that pic hand held from the end of the station where the tranzsenic used to gather before they moved it, so the light conditions were less than ideal. Shocked the hell out of me when I found a supermarket inside the train station too

Not actually a kiwi, but hope to be back in the land of the long white cloud next year.

The Sigma is my all-time favourite lens on the GX10 (OK, it is "almost" a Pentax!), and my example is capable of some extremely sharp results right to the frame edges - even wide open at low shutter speeds.

The image files that I would like to upload are rather bigger than the max allowable JPEG size - but they really do show what this lens can do.

The default lens when I am anywhere but an airshow (in which case it is a Sigma 70-200, F2.8!)

I agree, some striking similarities here.

This lens is also awesome with car shots. The UWA inspires lots of creative angles , IMO. Here is a shot of a 1954 Morgan, @ 10mm.

Sweet! You really nailed the exposure on that one.

There's been a lot of TLC lavished on that car. Wow, older than me and in better shape. Kinda depressing in a way.

I find (well, any ultra wide really) its brilliant for outdoors car shows because of the people in the way. Lighting is usually pretty good thanks to the sun, so I find you can pretty much stand less than a couple of feet from the car and take a photo without people getting in your way.

Also helps that the 10-20 is a physically big lense, so hanging off the front people tend to think you must be serious or something official and will get out of your way rather than mess up your photo

Here's a few from the wintersun festival, 2009 @ Coolangatta, Australia.













Also means you can lean into cars and take a nice wide photo of incredible interiors (like this aligator lined 57 chev) without the owners getting upset for touching their cars

My first outing

I would first like to thank Ecaterin for selling this fantastic lens , I think we could lay claim to the fastest around the world sale on the forum, I finished work today and took these pics on the way home in a local park close to me between rain storms.





Kx with sigma 10-20 and Av mode nothing fancy I'm learning
