A new gallery of photographs of Frederiksborg Slot, the largest Renaissance palace in Scandinavia. Shot on a glorious crisp, sunny and cloudless day in Hillerød, Denmark last weekend. The castle houses Denmark's National Museum with its awe-inspiring collection of fine art, portraits and furniture. A highly recommended visit - allow a full day to take it all in at a leisurely pace.

Anil - Rokinon lenses are a good example of "you get what you pay for". It's a cheap lens with mediocre quality.
Anil January 6, 2011 at 12:14am

Has anyone used Rokinon lenses ? Why do they seem to be so inexpensive ? I am looking at http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Rokinon-650-1300-mm-Zoom-Lens-...

Any comments ?
