A red car under the red tree:) - New lens test shot
About a year ago my Carl Zeiss 16-80mm lens got broken - did not focus at a zoom.
I found a local bloke (a man;) to fix it. It turned into disaster! The way he handles the business is awful. To tell the long story short: 10 months later he returned my poor CZ lens in worse condition as I gave him - it is in a box all dismantled, like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle :( completely useless. No "sorry" from the "master", he just said that he has a financial loss because of my lens! Ironically his web-page says: Don't risk your valuable property to anyone but the experts. We'll provide you with an accurate quote and repair schedule... we'll do our best to get everything back to you as soon as possible

What a shambles! Be aware... His name is Alan Robertson.
So for the year I could not do any wide angle/landscape photography, awaiting for my lens to be fixed. Eventually I have no choice but to buy a new landscape/walkabout lens. After a bit of research I have chosen these Sony SAM 18-135mm. I got it today, and did a few shots (before and after that storm we had in Brisbane this afternoon. ) It looks promising... Half price of CZ, but I can see a similar result...
No processing on this shot, except of blur on the car number plate.
