Old town Rauma on a rainy Sunday evening. Totally deserted. Grey, slick light. Using the 28mm F1.8G lens, which gets a bad rap from many but is my favoured walk around lens for this sort of thing. 

Nearly 40 hectares of old wooden buildings surrounded by an unattractive modern town. Quite a contrast.

But people pay some careful attention to their windows here, whatever the age of the property...

This lens has odd field curvature (it doesn't have a plane of focus as such, more a nose-shaped parabolic field that morphs with aperture) but know it well and it can do tricks such as giving an apparently huge DOF when you have foreground on the sides and subject at distance in the centre...

One of the things that people complain about with it (other than those samples that have are calibrated such that the lens's inherent focus shift on stopping down creates problems) is that with these weird field effects they can't make the available DOF work for them with subjects that slant away from the camera. I beg to disagree:
