[Liew]

2nd photo is the 17-55mm f/2.8 ED?

[jeanie]

i guess.
1st pic shot by 17-35

[slooow]

tell me some reasons leh
got reasons or pure guessing??
hehehe

[zac08]

Same as above..

#1 on the 17-35
#2 on 17-55

The 17-35 should be slightly sharper, IMHO

[Cheesecake]

the first pic is the 17-35.

the 2nd pic is the 17-55.


17-35 bokeh ain't so good/smooth.

[slooow]

sharper cant tell diff cos i reduced the size too much

but

photo 1 got brighter yellow and blue

photo 2 got warm warm colours

right?

still got any more reasons?

haha, i don't know about the bokeh, but the 17-35 isn't all that sharp in the center, however, at the sides, it's tack sharp, probably sharper than any lens ever made. (correct me if i'm wrong)

[chanxj]

perspective difference?

[slooow]

okie okie

so

photo1
bokeh not that good
very sharp
vibrant colours

photo2
bokeh is a bit better
sharp enough
warm colours

In that case this is not a fair comparison. You must make sure they are both set at the same focal length and same aperture.

compared to the 17-55, the sharpness on the center is less actually. the 17-35mm is more superior in overall sharpness. (because you don't compose your photos only in the center, i think)
