Wonder how does the forgotten drain-pipe (DP) perform out in the field? All shots wide open.
This is Jeff taking the DP for a test ride. Under shade in afternoon sun wide open.
In a restaurant with ambient light.
Is this my Bike? No sirri. In the sun.
Ice-cream man. Chill out time.
So hot even the leaves are "charred".
Catchup time in the park.
My impression: Fast even w/o USM. Tack sharp straight from cam. Beautiful bokeh. Black. What flare??
Could be better: Weight is forbidding at >>1kg. AF is not totally silent but does not bother me.
Overall: Excellent. My first zoom indeed.
So if you don't like the white rabbit, this good old drain-pipe is a very good alternative.
After thoughts: I have both the drain-pipe and the prime pipe. The primepipe is convenient due to its low weight= 1/2 drain-pipe. Now I have another reason for taking more portraitures. You guys just have to bear with my poor skills for the moment until I master them all. :sweatsm:
