HI, I sent some time to test it a bit more... I am getting used to it. At first, I had problems with the color, but figured out that WB in Auto mode did not always took the right decision, so I put the WB in whatever setting reflected the shooting conditions, and WOW ! I got some very nice shots (for those that are on focus... I admit I lose many because of that... I might try the Katz-Eye thing eventually...). Very nice bokeh also !
Photo of my spouse + our dogs and others..
Now closer to the spruce...
These ones on the same day, in downtown Saint-Jean, after Sunset... (low light conditions)
Now Inside, very "low-light" conditions, and coupled with a Pentax AFA 1.7x converter (using autofocus and pretty high ISO settings)
Note: No post processing on any of these pics..
I still have to test it in other conditions...
Finally, I better appreciate the power of this lens !
I have in my whish list a longer focal lens... I love to shoot birds and wildlife, and this one is, like one said before, an in-between lens.... but I saw a 400mm f2.8 that was sold recently in the market place. That would have been a nice lens for me ! The price was more affordable, but missed it :-(
Maybe this lens would be good for a theater or music show ! Will try it on these conditions eventually.
Have a good day all!
