During our recent trip to Amsterdam and Bruges (got home on Monday) I
used just one lens the whole time: The old FA*28-70 f/2.8 (on the
K-1). And having looked through most of the images I'm stunned once
again at how good a lens that is.

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.

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.

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.

Wow!
My favorites of this =excellent= collection:
- The house fronts reflected in the water ( #xxxx 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!

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).
