That is such a lovely scene Xavier.

Thanks, Paul! I'm liking this Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 lens more and more. I bought it thinking I'd mainly use it for video in low light, but it turns out it's excellent for landscape photography. It's like having four f/1.8 prime lenses in one, being the 28, 35, 40, and 45mm focal lengths the ones I use most for landscapes. And since Lightroom makes it so easy to merge images to create panoramas, I hardly ever need to use my Lumix 14-28mm. The Sigma is big and heavy, but since I always use it on the Lumix S1Rii with the battery grip, the combination is very well balanced.

I’m quite certain that lens is in my future.
