Thanks Ken. In retrospect, I'm sorry I didn't crop a bit looser. (In camera
that is. The shot is full frame.)
Paul,
I shoot this kind of thing very frequently and this is a great catch.
Did you MF? Can you comment on the point of focus? Is it beyond the
eyes or is this just my perception? This is a point that has been
dogging me for years. I see the buttefly very sharp but the eyelids
fuzzy. While I shoot film, the prints are digital; my thinking is that
perhaps eyelids cannot be terribly sharp and also that I may be
suffering from agressive sharpening (of butterflies and such) at the
lab.
Help,
Kostas :-)
p.s.: This is a really good lens, I think.

Subject: PESO: Gracie hits the bottle: a demo
Okay, this is more demo than peso, but I ddin't want to introduce a new
header. I wanted to show how excellent the 12-24 is almost wide open.
This is at f 4.5, 1/30th, 24mm, and, oh yes, ISO 800:

Here's a detail that is at around 200% or slightly more. Not very noisy.
Far better than ISO 800 film, and the lens has obviously performed very
well.:

By the way, these aren't great photos, but they are pics of a beautiful
young lady who passed out after hitting the bottle all day, so there's is
something of interest here.
