The 12/5.6, like the old 15/4.5, is not RF coupled.

After I got used to it, I love the fact that it's not RF coupled. Just set it to 1m and fire away.

Also, I'm currently very into the "Daido style". So I shot RAW and abused the shots with Exposure 2. Too heavy I know, but I'm having fun right now.

A few night shots on the Taipei streets:

Pic 5 is great.
The view up at night shows an non-endless space, transforms the space between the houses as an part of the livingrooms.
Seems I´ve to get an 12 or 15 very soon.

They're all fun shots. Proof that photography isn't about MTF curves and endless drivel, but about the composition, atmosphere, and impact. Show more!

Cheers,

Yes....please show more. The shots are great. I agree with #5 standing out. I love the style and processing. A perfect example of 6mp working perfectly for some situations.
 
Thanks guys.

One of the interesting thing about shooting along the street with an ultra wide, is that I have to get much closer than I used to.

That's why most of them are stealth-shots. I almost never looked at the view finder when I took them.

There's one unique shot. A black cat under the roof in the dark corner. This is what I have do to see the cat:
