I think there may have been a bit of camera shake in the dog photo. I
kept having to call his name to get him to look at me, and his attention
span isn't very long. So, I had to rush the shot a bit, which probably
contributed to the softness.
Thanks for the kind words!

Impressive. The dog looks a bit soft but the others look fine.
No need to spend moo money then needed.

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
