Well, I have a new lens. Olympus Pro 12--45mm. Here's a sample that I took today:

This is an example of what a wide-angle view from this lens looks like:

And this is an iPhone photo showing the new lens on the camera:

I hope to get an entry in next month's contest using this lens!

That is just great, your poem!

It has a charming cadence and rhyme that I really enjoy.

And it's true too.

Thank you.

Thank you!

I do agree about the tools. The camera body and the lens are first-rate. Olympus makes great stuff.

Now as for me, I do have the eye. Talent? Well, maybe, sometimes.

You did make me laugh, which I needed, and I thank you!

I've never had such a wide angle before! I think I'm going to like it.

Loved it for landscapes, but a little tricky. Nicely done with the 12!

Find a foreground object for the bottom of the frame and shoot at F/8. Everything will be in focus thanks to the great depth of field with an ultrawide lens.
