Thanks, Rick. I'm working on adding captions to the photos but I
didn't have time to do so with the initial upload (beginning of the
semester gets pretty busy).

Wow!

My favorites of this =excellent= collection:

- The house fronts reflected in the water ( # 75? A more viewer-friendly 
numbering scheme would be nice.)
- The houses fronting on the canal, with reflections (#60)
- The roomful of bottles of beer,
- The church front (last shot)

We really like Brugges, but my photos weren’t nearly this good!

I had the luck to be loaned one for about 9 months by Denis Klimovich.  Made 
some of my (technically) best pictures with it.  Considering the use it got 
(-25degreesC, covered in snow then condensation, lugged around various crowded 
venues, etc) it's pretty robust as well.

That’s a very versatile focal length. My DFA 24-70/2.8 is my go to lens. And I 
use it exclusively when travelling.

Very cool.  Can you (or anybody else) compare and contrast it with the DFA 
24-70?

I expect that two differences are weather sealing and size.
