    Wide angle lenses only really come into their own when used for landscapes.

    TBH a 18-55 will provide all the wide angle you need at 18mm and let you get close enough for most car usage with the rest of the range.

    Not too sure about the blue colour cast personally...White balance FTW

    First shot I'd consider trying it again with a smaller aperture (larger f/stop) to knock the depth of field up a tad...

    My favourite of that lot....3rd one up from the bottom.

    Yeah i know what you mean, 18mm is good enough, but i still want a 11-14 for landscapes or just mucking about and since i'm not paying for it. All the more to get one

    Yeah i was using different WB's but the blue cast was just messing around with the colour saturations to see what affects they gave and some i actually liked.

    I havent really been active on this forum lately, but i do have some more pictures to share Obviousley they are all taken and edited by me.























    Not really liking the last picture, but i thought i'd share it anyway.

    Yep, they're banded steelies on a slight stretch with 10mm spacers

    In a few weeks time the owner will be doing a Z20LET conversion in that corsa so i'll probably be asked to take loads of photo's of that lol.
