Hi Rob ... I'm still downloading the second pic - takes 4ever on my system - and i don't know exactly how to check the EXIF info to know which lens is which ... But, even with only about 1/2 of #5502 downloaded, it's painfully obvious which is the superior optic. Given a choice between one or the other, #5502 would be my clear choice, and #5497 would find it's way into the lake <LOL>
Just think how much better #5502 would have been on film <GD&R> Shel > [Original Message] > From: Rob Studdert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 6/19/2005 4:11:32 PM > Subject: RE: FA24/2.0 on Ds - example > > On 19 Jun 2005 at 21:32, Jens Bladt wrote: > > > Hi Bob > > What problems? > > I have used this lens for close-up journalistic work. > > (I have discovered, that pro's use a wide angle and then go very close to > > the subject. > > Brilliant and very sharp lens - even at F.2 - IMO. > > Some people can live within it's limitations others can't, rather than have an > it's good it's bad round again why not check out the following two pics, they > are full resolution so they are about 3.7MB each.
