This picture was taken in Kwun Tong
Had many memories here, my grandma used to live here....this district will soon be redeveloped, nth will be the same again.
Forget abt the glamour in Victoria Harbour...this pic is typical HK, most of us are just middle-class ppl.
(Photo taken with 5D classic, Tokina 11-16, yes...11-16, unbelievably sharp even on full-frame!!!)

JTant, Bianhci, bboehm, winam, whitelovemy, Thanks all for your comments!

Bianchi, I was at 16mm, maybe 15.8mm:) going wider will result in vignetting.
below are 100% crops, first one is near the center, second is to the far left (shot taken at f8, sharpness in DPP = 3)

It's soft towards the very edge of the frame...

but considering I just paid a little over USD$500 for this lens used, I can't complain anything
It's simply a super bargain FF UWA.
