Landscape in Iceland is typically wide open, so for most shots the 90mm will do. Nevertheless I personally would bring the 65mm (or my 47mm), just in case for the one shot where it may be needed....

Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp are definitely worth a trip. I would recommend to stay in one city (my personal favorite would be Antwerp) and make daytrips to the other places by train. Trains run...

I use my 47XL Super Angulon quite often for landscape and architecture. In fact, is has become one of my most-used lenses.

Subjects that are particularly suited for ultra wide lenses are dynamic...

Cool. Megatons instead of megapixels.

I have been through a number of field cameras (Wista, Chamonix, Speed/Crown Graphic, Technika) but I haven't really noticed any difference, focusing wise. I found all pretty much equal in that...

Thank you Koraks and David.

The deep fjord valleys are probably not a good spot to watch aurora borealis. This spot is at the end of the fjord with the view to the south, and you'd have to look...

I used the smallest aperture that came with the lens, f16.

I use a Packard shutter with the lens which has a single speed of 1/25th (not 1/125th). So usable aperture is very much determined by a...

Thank you Peter. I am not sure myself yet either if architecture subjects like this one will benefit from the use of simple soft focus lenses. And I am still exploring what the potential of this lens...

It is really surprising how good this little piece of glass is. In the center it is as sharp as it gets, a little softer on the edges.
