"Pretty decent." I'll say, Collin! Thanks for the look! J

Couldn't shoot yesterday b/c of the rain. Shot some hand-held at 500mm just a bit ago. This is a pretty decent zoom lens. Though it is APO, at both 170mm & 500mm there is some fringing. I expect that from a zoom. Still, it resolves a great deal more detail than the 70-300 DG at similar focal lengths. I can put up with that. It's also a bit on the slow side, but at the price of a fast lens in this length (is there one) I can live with that as well. https://www.flickr.com/photos/55001392@N08/albums/72157658877621379 OC500 == full-size crop just off-center at 500mm Lp170 & lp500 == resized of full-frame at the respective focal length (Ok, I admit it. I'm a bit of a pixel-peeper. But I also got used to LF so the compromises of miniature cameras still bothers me. Yes I maintain a 4x5 to this day & my shoulder has gotten stronger this past year so I might again look into a return to 8x10. That is, if I decide to stop reading/writing as much as I do.) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
