20D IN DEEP TROUBLE !
No, this isn't about D-Mac's lunatic ravings, EBAY scams, or phony web
galleries. Just a few more shots from today's lunch hour. (It was a bad day to go to the aquarium. Can you say "Spring Break?") http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/75745006/original http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/75745007 http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/75745008 BTW, this week's aquarium pics were all taken with the Canon 24-70 f/ 2.8L. It's a fine lens, by any measure. No real weaknesses, except perhaps it's weight. It's a monster. I like the fact that the close focusing distance is only a few inches from the lens. This lets you shoot close-ups of butterflies and stuff without using extension tubes. My initial tests of this lens were brick wall shots comparing it with the 17-40L and the 28-135 IS as well as the 70-200 f/2.8L @ 70mm. The 24-70 f/2.8L didn't fare so well in those comparisons at least as it relates to overall sharpness, but it did great in the field. I guess it does better with fish and butterflies than bricks. I'll do some further testing this weekend when I have more time. |

I saw a commercial on tv for this Aquarium. It looks awesome! You're so lucky to live in a great place. Helen |
