Yes, I've handled one of those on a D800 - a very weighty beast!


How did you get an 'L' version (i.e. a Canon lens) on that Nikon?

-Wolfgang


Eh? Canon never came into it!

Nikon D800 + Nikon 27 - 300 mm lens.

So where did you come across the 27-300 lens?

In the part that said:

I distinctively saw an "L". Is the "Nikon 28 - 300 mm lens"
an L lens? Did it come out in 2004, too?

Now all Canon needs to do is cough up a 17-40/4.0 II that's as good as
the 24-70/2.8 II. Sigh.


Interestingly I have a Canon 10-22/4 for their crop frame
cameras and it is an exceedingly fine lens. Truly remarkably
low lateral chromatic aberration.


You mean the 10-22 f3.5-4.5 EFS? Pretty good for a non pro lens. But
obviously not a match for the 24-70f2.8 II, or with FF camera's.


Of course not. Not only does the 10-22 not have the range of
36-70mm (35mm format), it also has that completely unneeded part
where it goes to 16-23mm (35mm format). Alone from that it
is obvious the 24-70 is superior, as ot only misses 7mm and
gains 34mm. Which means it:s 27mm better.

Is that close enough to your logic, Trevor, on comparing
lenses?

To avoid further confusion, the lens which I have handled is this one:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/2010/8/19/nikon28300mm

which was released in 2010. Nikon don't do "L" lenses. This topic is
about a Nikon wide-range zoom lens.
