Continuing my practice of last year, I checked to see which lens I had taken most shots with in 2019. Once again I was very surprised. It is the DFA* 50 f/1.4 (1625 shots). I really didn't think I'd used it that much! So, by weight of numbers, the new fast 50 is my lens of the year.

Another from our September trip to Sanibel, The gulls were always following the pelicans. Looking for an easy meal, it was fun shooting them.

This was taken with my humble K-R. Not a popular camera in my country, it served me well though.
It is now retired, internal battery fault, it couldn't be fixed at a cost that made sense.
Sad days, I have my K-5 now though, I do miss the white body of the K-R.

My neighbor's back yard has provided me with a lot of photo ops over the years.

I call the Isle of Arran's landscapes home. They are always familiar to me, and always new. They never disappoint, never let me down. Sure, sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate - but that's normal, and it doesn't matter: photographing the sun rising over what looks like a sculptor's work, is simply priceless :) 1.4 second exposure with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters.
Thank you for viewing, best regards
Vieri

Hi,
I needed a wide angle, and my budget was limited. I recently bought the Sigma 10-20 f/3.5, which according to the reports, seems good enough, even if some people complained than this new version was less sharp than the older (the Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6).
Then I decided to check how sharp it could be by taking some photos with it, and comparing to my other lenses.
To my shock, the kit DA-L 18-50 was much sharper than the Sigma at 18mm (according to my eyes ; I don't have tools to mesure sharpness).
How so? People and reviews often disregard kit lenses as cheap lens with mediocre IQ, but I didn't expect the kit to perform that well, and I didn't expect the Sigma to be so deceptive.
Photos have been taken with mostly default settings and AUTO mode. Camera is K-S2. Photos are cropped to the center (focus) area (for size reasons). Advice would be appreciated.
DA-L 18-50 f/7.1 1/250s 18mm
Sigma 10-20 f/11 1/125s 18mm
