Title: Testing the zoom 17-40 L USM Post by: george on January 11, 2010, 12:39:19 PM http://www.flickr.com/photos/45552751@N03/4266946820/sizes/l/
I have been very pleased with the reasonably priced 17-40L. This shot is taken right from our veranda. Have spent a few hours testing the lens and can only recommend it....... Title: Re: Testing the zoom 17-40 L USM Post by: marcfs on January 11, 2010, 07:07:07 PM Nice shot!!

There's not much "talent" involved at shooting this picture. The scenery is outstanding. And never the same. Allow me to post another image, same veranda, a while ago, with Nikon D300 12-24 DX. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45552751@N03/4268016261/sizes/l/ I wish the forums would get more of a "human" and personal attitude, rather than be just a hardware one-sided questionnaire. But people are usually shy and socially unripe, or at least that is how I see it. One mistake that hobby-photographers do is think that a fancy new lens will magically improve their shooting skills.A new camera will do wonders.... The camera that will auto-evaluate the scene and shoot masterpieces is not yet invented (I think Sony is working on it..) Cheers. |
