Hi All,

Thrid Duploworld update in a row. Soon I will be off for Copenhagen and a week full of meetings, but also a weekend dedicated to photography...

This post is not really a lot of news, but I got one thing new to tell you... my brand new Pentax FA35mm f2 AL prime arrived today in time for me to bring it on my copenhagen trip:yes: This means that my travel setup for this trip will be 5 lenses.
DA14mm, DA21mm, FA35mm, FA50mm and a Sigma 105 macro. the workhorses will most likely be the DA21 and the new FA35.

Took it for a quick walk today and first impressions are nice, extremely sharp, excellent bokeh and as close to zero distorsion as it gets, I am going to love this lens too (I have almost too many of them and still got two more comming in the next months or so).

Here are the results of todays walk (and yes I was in a monocrome mood:D):

A ship yard view:

Togetherness?

A Hunters Home:

Playground...

Well these along with this, this and this concludes my Greenlandic Winter Pictures album. A total of 96 pictures:eyes: guess I will call that to have the Greenlandic winter covered:D

I will head back to bed.. WIll read up on you all some time during the weekend.

Do take care you all:)

"Togetherness" is the first I´ve seen from you in that genre. I think it´s good - and I wish, even though I realise I have no say in this, that you would contnue going down that path sometimes. Just because I find it interesting smile

Hi Allan,

You are right it is a first in that genre from me and I am glad you like it.
I will not say that I have a dedicated plan going down that path, but looking at the world up close is fun:)

I have a few more lying around... I will post another favourite of mine tonight...

As always your images are great yes Have never used prime lenses myself, but looking at your images I diffidently like to give it go smile

Thank you Asgeir, for that very fine compliment.

Well I have slowly gotten addicted to it. it is not for fast shift in focal lengths, but I just love walking with my cam with a compact high quality prime mounted and a few more loaded in the bag...
I can honestly say that this year I have had a zoom mounyed 3 times and one of those was a walk with my father (idea was to shoot with similar lenses), switched back to primes rather quickly though. and I do not see my self mounting one again for a really long time.

Try it out, but be carefull it might be addictive:D

I really like the shipyard view. It almost looks like a toy model! Very glassy water.
