Picture of the Day

[Lestat]

hahahah @ kain - that zeis is a freak of nature, omg! you should see the pictures over at PoTN in the lens sample section.
crispness and clarity like i have never seen from another lens.

yeah on a FF camera zooms just dont feel lik zooms anymore.
70-200mm just doesnt feel like much. but i have never owned one until now. i have really only used 70-300 which, that extra 100mm does make a difference.

@ Mesca - i have looked quite alot at the 24-70, the old 28-70, the 24-105 and others and the 24-70 is the best, although i do like the reach option of the 24-105
the 24-70 suffers from the same thing pretty much most zooms do, when you get to the far end you need to stop them down otherwise they suffer.

really the 24-70 in the 24-50mm range is great @ 2.8 after that you really need to use f/4 or it suffers.

there isnt anything wrong with the 24-70 really, but honestly i expect better coming from such an expensive lens

if you have any thoughts, by all means share them.

i did get a good deal on a 100mm F/2.8L IS Macro and it will be here monday, so we'll see what i can do with that.
after using the Nikon 105mm F/2.8 IS Macro, i want another one in canon flavor of course.
