No, this was with the D7000 and two Sigma lenses (10-20 and 17-70 OS).
First two shots and #5 are at 10mm. One really needs such a wide lens in there.

Not sure what I am seeing, but it looks pretty cool in your photos.

The "Big Air Package" is an installation by artist Christo, which you may know from other works like "The Gates" in NY's Central Park or the wrapping of Pont Neuf or the German Reichstag building.
It's an inflated envelope (or call it a large balloon, around 90m in height) that almost completely fills the Gasometer building.

What kind of a WA is that?
Nice pictures by the way.

Thanks, so that is a 15mm equivalent, if I am right. I never had anything that wide.
