Hi guys:
Personally, I don't or ever had owned any zoom that is longer than 3x.
Optically, I agree that it is very difficult to produce any zoom that is
portable and yet good in sharpness/distortion/CA. Having said that, I am
still very interested in seeing the quality of the lens relative to the
prime. :) For awhile, I've been contemplating if I should get a higher
range zoom so I don't have to bring so many lenses while going on trip. I
thought about 100-400 and 28-300 but many people have mixed opinions on
these. Some have even sold their 100-400 and opted back to 70-200 IS. So,
I've put this thought on hold until I can see any evidence to justify/reject
the decision. (Hahaha, I think I'm asking for a good excuse to get a new
lens). :-D
135 f2L?? Any lens would look bad in comparison to this one. :-D I just
get myself one of these and it really blew my other lenses away. (OK,
70-200 is close but still not as good). And the boken is truly wonderful!
Btw, I have to let both Chip and Peter know that over the years, your
comments have "lured" me into buying many lenses! And they are all good
advises. :) Thanks.
Gary
