and the Great responses.Robert `s photo is imho a gredit to the H C Bresson style , what a great grab , especially considering yer usual photographic interests , sports photogs have quick reflexes and fast trigger fingers , yet , H B C shooting is a different ballgame .
Tom , that 24 - 70 has been on my need/want list for a long time , but alas , that list is rather long , but one day ...
Blackfox , that spider looks scary , the concept of using a long lens for macro is not new to me , as I`ve found it keeps me nicely out of harms way , what is new t`me is the amazing sharpness , I wish I had your steady hands .
Eric , as I`ve read most of your postings , I realise what an incredible range of lenses you have , yet , that 24 - 70 covers a lot of ground , I rember when only few Mfgrs. had a decent 24mm in their line-up , they`ve come a long way since , and ye also have LR , as I ( LR 3 ) , photoshop scares the pants of me .
RichW , that`s a great approach of portraiture , way cool.
JK , I can see the need of that 24 - 70 for flamenco , last time I was in Spain ( many moons ago ), I had the man. focus 28 - 45 f4.5 , and I could n`t back - up enough , since then , overhere a Spanish guy opened a bar/res., and had a flamenco evening , I had the 20 - 35 2.8 afd , but even so , I find flamenco is difficult to shoot ( I botched it up )
Only two of my lenses have chips built in , the 20 - 35 f2.8 afd and the 35 - 70 2.8 afd ( fantastic lenses , in every respect ) , all the others are man. focus , yet , I keep on reaching for the 55 mm f 1.2 , it`s Not my " best " lens , it`s wobbly , when focusing left/right or vice versa , the image moves slightly , a bit left or right , yet , without deterioration of quality ( not that I notice ) so why that lens , is it `cause the zooms are hefty ? ..is it `cause it`s comfy ? ,.. I`m not sure , and yes , different tasks require different lenses , but that`s the one I keep reaching for , maybe I`m just an oddball
