I received my new DFA 28-105 today, getting my first weather-sealed
full-frame lens in preparation for my upcoming adventure in Yorkshire,
Durham and Northumberland. I haven't given it a proper tryout yet -
just a few quick test shots to insure it doesn't suffer from any major
alignment/decentering issues. But I have to say the build quality
seems impressive for such a budget (by FF standards) lens. Focusing is
fast and virtually silent. And though I'd certainly like a faster lens
(f/5.6 at 105mm is a tad disappointing) the benefit in terms of size
is remarkable. It's surprisingly compact.
I hope to get in a few test photos tomorrow (not that the semester is
over).
I acquired a SMC PENTAX-D FA MACRO 100mmF2.8 WR on Wednesday. Haven't shot much
with it yet, but I did take Baxter Kitty out into the back yard & turn her loose
for a few minutes.
She didn't seem to be all that impressed. I guess when you're a house cat, the
"great outdoors" is not that great.
But there might be something in there worth sending to "The Online
Photographer". 8^D
