These are very good. Shows what the lens is capable of at f/2.8. Very sharp it appears to me. The high contrast shot through the window appears to have ca's, but this is understandable, and I'm not really sure if it is because of the lens or the k10d. My FA*300 shows considerable ca's sometimes using the k10d, but I never saw any on my DS or the D that I have now. This lens looks like a keeper. Looking forward to seeing some 16-50 shots in real world shooting..thanks for posting these......Don

Hi Harriet,
Well you've convinced me -- but I'm an easy sell. I also don't much like doing lens tests -- the best way I can test a lens is shoot what I like, and see how it does with that -- If I get what I consider good results right off the bat, then the lens is a keeper. This also brings out the real life handling quirks that might make the lens harder to use than I might like. Looks like I'll be visiting my dealer tomorrow morning. . . ![]() Scott |

Don - you may be right about the CA being influenced by the camera. I thought the CA was pretty well controlled, better than what I've seen from the A*300 but haven't noticed whether I get the same thing with the K100 or not.
Scott - the lens is better balanced than the A*300, so I find it easier to use. I didn't particularly struggle with it in the library, despite shooting at shutter speeds slower than I should have been using. Only one of the pictures showed much for camera shake. And I still haven't tried any ISO 1600 shots yet. I didn't want to take the time to run noise reduction software yesterday, so I had changed the camera to use a max of ISO 640 or something like that (didn't let it go as far as ISO 800, my usual stopping point). |
