lens reviews

In relation to yesterdays lens post, there are various sites out there that have various methods of lens testing. Most of the stuff i read is about nikon (obviously), but this is only a guide. There are many scientific tests, lab tests, and methods of testing but in the real world, its simply a guide to help you choose what lens is best suited.... The best thing to do is go out and try a lens before you buy, if the seller doesnt agree to that, then move onto the next specialised store... here in Melbourne, you have places such as Vanbar who have a heap of new Nikon and Canon gear.. The Camera Exchange.
For these scientific tests, you can go here for nikon + canon gear.

Lambo

Had the opportunity to shoot this (albeit a very short time), so it gave me a chance to check out the flare on my newly acquired 24-70 AF-S F 2.8 ED IF Nano Lens.
An absolute beast of a car, its sheer presence was all it needed.. i just added an interesting element to the subject.

Azumi @ 15 Weeks

For those that dont know, Azumi is our 15 week Puppy.
She's an alaskan malamute, and comes directly from a breeder of Malamutes (for 20 years).
SHe's growing up fast and Linh is training her to sit, roll-over, drop, wait, sleep and eat all my shoes.....

Super Wide Nikon Zoom

With the move from the cropped D2X body to the D3 Series, the 12-24 DX was useless on the FX bodies, and the 18-35 was good but not blowing my socks off. So have traded those in for a fantastic 17-35 AF-S F2.8 ED IF. This will now standardise all my zooms and the 77mm filter platform.
Had a quick go with the new 14-24 AF-S. Probably one of nikons best lenses to date, however there was a problem.. The issue here is that the lenshood is built in, and i use filters for 90% of my work, and the Cokin Filter adapter specifically made for this lens costs approx. $625 U.S, which makes this lens a $2800+ option. No Doubt that the 17-35 will deliver stellar results on the D3.
