Oops I made a mistake, how come I can't edit the post???

I think in certain forums you can't edit Arash. If this is the mission in Carmel you have made a really nice shot. Was just there in June.

Thanks Jakie, This is indeed the mission and the only mission in Carmel, inside is very dark :( EXIF was wrong, it should read 1/30sec f/2.8 ISO 1600, not a big deal. Thanks!

Hi Arash,
This is beautiful indeed, I like the wide angle perspective...how do you like your Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8? this is a very sharp fast glass well worth every penney...:D:cool:

Hi Gus,
Thanks for your kind words, I love my 14-24, it is the sharpest zoom lens I have ever owned, it is so good it almost looks like science fiction, puts Zeiss primes into shame!!!

Hi Arash,
I haven't conducted any comparison test between the Nikkor and the Zeiss, but the Nikkor is razor sharp with hardly any visible distortion at all...I love mine...never leave home with out it...:D:D A good compliment to have in your gadget bag would be the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8; 24-70mm f/2.8; and the 70-200mm f/2.8, one killer combination...:):cool:

I agree 100%, I have the14-24 and 24-70 and waiting to get the new 70-200 VRII, nothing can beat these three beauties :)

Excellent tech settings Arash ... those two zooms perform as good as single focal length :)

Nice image with good exposure, the 14-24mm is exceptional - you did pretty well too!
