Nice job Rob. I looked ultra hard in all these pics, and they're all full of
lovely flowers and stuff, but couldn't find a single nekkid lady....
I just nabbed a Nikkor 80-200mm/2.8 AF ED lens from eekbay for 260 quid. It's
in great nick so am well pleased. Now it gets sent off to a bloke who takes
off the mount, de-clicks the manual aperture ring and damps its motion, and
attaches a Canon EF mount !
I had it done to a Nikkor 17-35/2.8 a few years ago and it's terrific on
video. It will join the arsenal of that and a Canon EF 24-105/4 with the C300
camera I use a lot for broadcast.
Impressive glass, to be sure. And crucially the manual aperture which is what
i need. The 24-105 doesn't have it, the iris is controlled with a thumbwheel
in 1/3rd stop increments which is rubbish. If I could find a decent wide lens
in that range with manual aperture i would have it. The saving grace is the
24-105 has IS which is superb, so can't gripe too much. The 80-200 will only
be used on the sticks.
Nice shots mate - keep up the good work!
The thing that worries me most is that I understood all of that.
