There are some great lenses out there to use on these CSC systems. I agree that soem are not that cheap but this lens was bought some time ago and really didn't cost me that much. I think I could sell it today for much more than I bought it for. However, that is not the reason I have it. I get a lot of pleasure from my photographic equipment.
If you look at the image notice that there are a lot of trees in it but, only three really matter. Those are the three in the foreground. Try so see things in threes, three trees, three people, three buildings, it doesn't really matter. What's important is that you have three and only three of the same in the image. I believe it makes the composition much stronger.
