Today I had a dentist appointment and I always arrive early because I never know what the traffic is going to be like. I took my new 16-85 lens with the KP to try it out. This is the first time I've used it, and the day was overcast so very flat lighting. My initial thought is that the lens is going to make a good walk-about lens for me, but I'm going to have to use it a lot more to become friends with it (pretty normal for me, and some equipment I never become friends with). It's sharp, a lot sharper than what I remember my 18-55 kit lens was like (gone a long time ago), but I'm not sure it's as sharp as my 28-105 - need to shoot under more varied conditions to tell for sure.
Anyway, here are the ones I liked the best. I thought they were reasonable for a first time out, and shooting a subject I would have otherwise used a 100mm macro lens for.
These are just quick snaps taken as I wandered around for about an hour before seeing the dentist - I didn't see much that really grabbed my attention. I'm feeling unsure of the combination at the moment. I certainly don't hate it, and I don't think it has any issues, at least none that I noticed today. I need to work harder at finding things to shoot.
