The old DA* has let me down now and then because of lack of sharpness. Maybe my copy was a bad one, or maybe I expect to much.
I've never had actual problems with the size and bulk of the DA*. But I feel more free and playful with the FA 20-35. Kind of hard to explain. --------------- BTW. I see that most of my arguments are pro 20-40. Makes it obvious that that's the one I WANT. I'm just not sure it's the smartest move. -- MaritimTim My private photo blog: http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To err is human to arr is pirate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-06-14 3:25 GMT+02:00 Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com>: > > On Jun 12, 2014, at 2:59 PM, Tim Øsleby <maritim...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Long time no see.
