Originally posted by kenafein I really like the second shot. It would make a great desktop background. You said you had the vario-sonnar I just assumed it was the 35-70.

Thanks, but you have to remember that Photoshop is your friend.
The 35-70 would be a little less wieldy than the 28-85, but the range is nice. This one was actually hand-held, which I almost never do on closeups because I can't hold myself still, so it's ok web sized, doesn't hold up bigger.
I need to shoot more with this lens to decide if I'm going to keep it or not. I'm leaning toward not, but that could change as I use it more.
