    Love them all! :)

    Love the legs in #1. Did you have to use "Tv" mode to shoot that?? ;)

    NEX-5 with the 16/2.8 (24mm eqv). I wanted something to carry around when not necessarily on the prowl. Definitely still learning it's characteristics. But I'm starting to get a handle on how to, um, handle it.

    Nice indeed.
    Boy you really have to be up close for these and it looks like you have gotten so comfortable with that.

    I really enjoy #1 and the last one--something about the pristine looking white dress on the little girl while she plays in the street and the oblivious person off to the side.

    How's that 16mm lens?

    I am eyeing the pentax 15mm f/4 based on this thread in pentaxforums.com, and am curious to how you find that focal length.

    The 16mm on the NEX-5 is a 24mm equivalent. I also shoot a lot with a 20mm on a FF body. For me, anything effective 20mm-30mm is really nice. Btw, that is one heck of a thread about a single lens.

    Yes, but to be fair, the first half dozen pages or so are mostly talk & lens tests-- the last 50+ pages have some great photos, tho. mwink.gif

    Oh yeah, #1 for me, too. :D
