The above (and one below) were taken with a manual focus 28mm f/2.8 lens which I put on the front of the K5. For a lens I've had in excess of a quarter of a century, I was very impressed with its performance. Both images were taken early on a Saturday in the City.

Broadway Market, London, 9th April 2011 by RayB_UK, on Flickr
Taken in Broadway Market, London, E8 in early April. The market used to be full of all kinds of things, but now is foods from all over the world and some fashion items - 2nd hand denim jackets going for silly prices - much more than they cost originally...

The two images above are of Leadenhall Market early on Sunday 1st May. I'd hired in a lens that I'm considering taking in the kit that is coming with me on a bit of an expedition later in the year to a fairly remote part of the world.
City of London, May 1st, 2011 by RayB_UK, on Flickr
Taken on 1st May with the trial lens, early morning. The city was bathed in some really nice sun and the smog had not had a chance to form yet.

An odd little building that quite frankly looked out of place. I've no idea what it is used for.
Another look from the high-point. Note the smaller crane on the left, which is used to build the larger one. It is no small operation and took around 6 hours to build. The generator is now an hour away. by RayB_UK, on Flickr
In February, part of the project I've been working on for the last 8 months was to plant an 11-ton generator onto a roof in Mayfair. The lifting operation commenced at Midnight and completed at 17:00 the following afternoon. Here we see the main crane being constructed by a smaller one. It was no fun being up a scaffolding at silly o'clock on a Sunday morning when the temperature had just poked it's nose above freezing...
