Hi There
Well, I did crack, there was a little 'okay' weather today, so I spent an hour fooling with familiar subjects.
I bought two lenses to get me going:
Zeiss 24-70 f2.8
this is a beautiful lens - just what one would expect from zeiss, even the petal lens hood is gorgeous, with a flock inside, metal, with a slick bayonet to connect to the camera
Sony 70-300 f4 - f5.6 G
This is a relatively inexpensive lens, but its improved build quality and silent focusing reflects the fact that it's more expensive than it's Nikon equivalent.
I'm still considering my 'ultra-wide' position.
Anyway, I had some fun taking 100% crops from files.
Everything was shot raw, converted to .dng and imported to Aperture.
zeiss 24-70 f8 1/60th 70mm
sony 70-300G f5.6 1/250th 150mm
sony 70-300G f5.6 1/500th 300mm
sony 70-300G f7.1 1/1160th 135mm
Zeiss 24-70 f3.2 1/30th 45mm
All shot at ISO 200
