Thanks. I'm privilege to use the DA 15 in one of the most scenic areas in the world.

Thank you both.

Looks like you had moderately better weather than I did when I went up there on the 6th of July.

Indeed, he had better atmospheric conditions than those of Jonathan's.

The weather was indeed amazing on my trip in April, considering Norway weather I would say I was very lucky.

Now that I've cleaned the front element, maybe I can try tonemapping again...

This was an FA 31 shot, not a DA 15 shot. Moved to the right thread.

A stitched panorama using the K3 and DA 15mm limited, taken from the top of the tower of Stockholm city hall.

I'd have liked to have made it wider but there were flagpoles or something in the way which would have ruined the shot.

Vincent, I like the pic a lot but isn't that the FA 31?

To me it looks better than expected wide open. I'm planning to give it a try also, maybe on the K-1 in crop mode and with the astrotracer. Maybe I could even stop down a bit.

You are right.

I had taken the DA 15 and FA 31 out to take photos and didn't pay attention to which was which. I'll change it to the right thread. Thanks for paying attention.
