Thanks, Frank.
I am a bit of a saturation and contrast junkie, at least at this stage
of my development. I can see where some might find it a bit cloying,
but I figure if I'm taking photos of generally unremarkable subject
matter -- and, let's face it, cows aren't the most electrifying members
of the animal kingdom -- I need to do something with it to grab the eye.

Just wanted to share a few shots I took today with a lens I bought a couple
of months ago, but have yet to really use beyond just pointing it at
something to check out sharpness. It's a Promaster EDO AF LD 70-300mm
1:4-5.6 tele-macro (1:2). I noticed some pretty severe fringes at f/4, but
otherwise, I feel it's a pretty competent lens for under $200 US.

(Note the blue around the nostril in this one -- I'll need to do some
desaturation on that.)
Anyone else had any experience with this lens, and advice on getting the
most out of it?
And, of course, suggestions, critiques, and inappropriate comments are
always welcome.
Not a bad lens at all, if these samples are representative.
I have no idea how to get the best out of a lens. I just shoots
pictures is all.
I like the saturated colour renditions of these, though. Interesting
photos, too - well done, all of them!
cheers,
frank
