I had the luck to be loaned one for about 9 months by Denis Klimovich.  Made 
some of my (technically) best pictures with it.  Considering the use it got 
(-25degreesC, covered in snow then condensation, lugged around various crowded 
venues, etc) it's pretty robust as well.

That’s a very versatile focal length. My DFA 24-70/2.8 is my go to lens. And I 
use it exclusively when travelling.

Very cool.  Can you (or anybody else) compare and contrast it with the DFA 
24-70?

I expect that two differences are weather sealing and size.

PESO - selfie in the 'hood

2024-01-18 Thread ann sanfedele
Between FB and INSTAGRAM and PDML FB and using messenger online 
occasionally where I see most of you, I've been mostly lurking here. 
confessing that any
discussion of new tech of any photo related stuff is of little interest  
I hardly ever post here these days.  since I can see your photos (which 
does interest me) elsewhere.
I'm not doing much new stuff except editing archives and listing stuff  
I'm selling on ebay or on the create photo calendars site)


So for the few who haven't seen me for a while and only look/lurk here  
- this is a new one  taken a couple of days before my 87th birthday in 
Dec.  a few blocks from
my apt.  The thing that looks like a photo equip bag is an insulated 
lunch bag for shopping .  I don't do any photo walks - just slip the 
tiniest camera I have into my pocket
when I go out and don't anticipate carrying too much other stuff on my 
way home.  anyway, I kinda like this one.
