Nice shots Gerry. Where abouts were you standing/sitting to take these?
I do agree that the signature high-contrast look from the 300 has been diluted.
AF dream, no real notiveable reduction in performance, however bit hard to guage ona day like this, it was pretty grey and not very contrasty so there was a few cycles thru the focus range to find the subject on a occasions.
I was on the southern end of bronte, just up past the pool under the shelter of teh rock overhand - remember the pool we took pictures of ages ago there? just near there.. thats also where teh surfers jump in.
re. contrast, i will have a bit more of a look at this in the coming weeks to see how much decrement to the contrast occurs due to the converter...
meant to be some crazy surf this weekend, so saturday mornign is looking liek a sunrise session followed by a surfer session for me.
