More gear testing! A little different this time, today's Lost & Found was actually taken with my first Fuji camera - the pocketable little F11, that came out in 2005.

Today's Lost & Found is another test with the Sigma 12-24mm and Canon's 1D Mark II - hard to think this was ten years ago already, actually!

Today's Lost & Found is another testing outing - this time with the Sigma 12-14mm lens, which was relatively new in 2004. Of course, this is on a slightly cropped camera body, the 1D Mark II, so it's effectively more like 16mm - I shot a few on film (remember FILM?!) that day too, just to see what the difference was like. 12mm is quite wide, it turns out!

Funny how many of my lost & found images are from trying out gear - often I'll get something new, go a bit mad with it testing things, and then move on to using it for work without ever really giving much attention to the test shots. But some of them I really like, now that I do look!
