Toronto At Night · **2 Likes**

My Single in November shot for the day, I decided to show something other than the 55 taks great bokeh. @ f8 it's razor sharp too, tweaked i LR but could have used the SOOC jpeg I just like this version better

Great shot Eddie!

Good capture with the XE-2!

I think I need to get back to Toronto one of these days. Great shot.

thanks Jasques and thanks Norm. I posted a couple of mediocre quad shots on the flickr BTW need to shoot it with a wide not the tak

Great shot, well exposed, everything in this shot looks great, I think Taks do much better job then cheap new lenses.

I would tend to agree at least versus the zooms. the plastic fantastic 35 is pretty impressive though (maybe not quite the 35 3.5 tak but a lot faster as well and pretty darn sharp)

The joy of taks. Good shot Eddie.

I assume you were on Toronto Island for that shot, very impressive. For comparison, two handheld shots taken at high ISO with the plastic 35. I was walking around on the Harbourfront on October 12th, so it wasn't freezing, but it wasn't very warm, either.

The one on the left had more light, so only ISO 1600 @ 1/60, the one on the right was ISO 6400 and cleaned up with Topaz DeNoise, which strips out most of the EXIF. Shutter speed 1/40.

Not on the Island, down at Polson Pier (near Cherry Beach where the Docks nightclub is as well) took the dog down thinking to walk him and hget a shot, cold enough by the lake he didn't get much walking

Nice shots Particularly the second. the plastic fantastic is a great little lens
