Many thanks for all this detail - great to read.

Nice work - thanks. Although I wouldn't have minded if you'd turned
them all upside down and toned them green once you'd used the phrase
"perfect graphic creations" :-D
I'm definitely with you on the distortion - really for those kinds of
pictures I should correct it, but so far it's enough to know that it's
possible. I went through a phase of correcting perspective on my
black and white stuff, but I'm getting lazy now and doing what I can
in Lightroom and leaving it at that. If I ever try to hang these
anywhere I'll go to town on them.
I could try the 7-14 for this stuff, but it's the size and simplicity
of the 21/2 that has me carrying the camera everywhere, so I don't
know if it would work. I'm looking forward to some new primes too - I
have paid a deposit for the 25/2.8 when it appears, and I'll be first
in the queue for anything wider when it appears.
I really like what you have done with the light in the last couple as
well - I did a bit but you have gone further. I didn't really mind
about the vignetting as those two were shot at f2 from the back of a
moving car as the light faded fast - if it wasn't for the IS I would
have a 5D now, not an E-3. I'm fairly happy now that for my purposes
it was the right choice.
Thanks again,
Tom
