Originally posted by funkathustra Really cool photo — however, I don't think stitched photos are useful to post in this thread, as they greatly exaggerate the FOV and resolving capability of the optic in question. You could shoot that same photo with an FA* 85, a cheapo Quantaray zoom, or really any other lens, and it'd look the same.
You can't really show me that picture and say, "this is what the FA28 looks like"
I'd recommend people only post single-exposure pictures, just so that newer readers don't get confused, especially since so many people are used to an "APS-C mindset"
Sure. No problem with that PoV.
I chose a 28mm is a wide angle, and it's a challenge in many instances in a Cityscape.
So if you have constraints, budget wise, Pano is 1 way to go and get the best out of a non-ultra wide, wide lens. 85 would in my opinion not work in this situation (too close and will take too many shots in Cityscape) and the lighting conditions will have been missed.
But I'll agree not to add any more pano shots here.

I tried to use Lightroom but it did not give me a good stitch. I'd the PTGui which helps me achieve a better stitch quicker. Alternatively consider Hugin which is free.
My apologies again for going out of point here in this thread. I'll stick to showing possible wide angle alternatives. I only have the 28 and 35 currently for wides, so I hope to see more examples out here showing other possibilities.
It's tough as there's not a lot of variety out there for us, unless we go the older ranges which is usually a compromise in the edge to edge sharpness.
