I just have to show you this one. This shot was taken using ISO50 at the photo fair in Stockholm. It’s shot thru a dirty window with the 18-50.
I developed using SPP3
I think it’s quite impressive from a zoom to perform this good. It’s not as contrasty as a prime would be (due to window?), but sharpness is there! I was also amazed on how fast AF looked and how silent it worked. I will show some more pictures from this session later, also some shots taken with the 17-70 DC lens. Which I like too! :)
Fine example of what the SD14 can do. Love the texture. Well lit. Don’t love the smudge/flare around her face, but you did say you were shooting through a dirty window…
Agree.. The smudge isn’t very nice. :D A TAD hard to get rid of it using photoshop. hehe
Selective saturation & contrast adjustment. Voila! ;-)
;) give it a try..
Hi Carl … nice test … yes glass can lower contrast by quite a bit from what I know.
Can you please tell me if the 18-50 was the MACRO version?
How you compare it with 17-70?
I would like to know what you think.
Thank you.
