@PitchBlack Great combo that D800 and the 50 art, no need for any photoshop at all.

I find that this 28mm lens is the most useful focal length for landscapes. I am not a hundred percent sure, but I think it beats my 14-24 2.8 in sharpness, particularly at f/5.6 to f/8.0 where I use it for landscapes. It seems to be sharpest at f/5.6 so that is my default stop. This is pretty astounding given that it is an older manual focus lens first introduced in 1981. Manual focus is no big deal and very easy to use. Most of the time I was focusing at infinity and only had to pay attention to focussing when there was close foreground objects in the frame.

My Flickr account has numerous shots with this lens for anyone that cares to look.

If I could change anything it would be to get the guy on my left a little closer to me so that his head wasn't hidden by the breakwater.

Been going through my images before I back them up. This one from 6 weeks ago in Scotland, looking upstream on the River Coupall towards Buachaille Etive Môr:
