What is the difference when taking a shot with a circular polarizing filter but not through a reflective object?

Hi Brentley,

I'm also interested in the AFS 80-200mm F2.8. Any experience with this lens? If yes, can I see some photos taken with D1X?

Thanks

I have just bought this lens to use on my D1X. It is superb- fast sharp and crystal clear. I have low res images posted on a trial page at http://www.lorraineandtrevor.co.uk They are not designed to be good photos but they give some idea of what to expect.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the samples. Yes, it's very sharp. One more question, is those shot taken with any filter on the lens?

Here's one, 17mm, NEF, NC2, converted to 8 bit and jpeg in PS7. It's a great lens, rarely hear of any conplaints.

Wow, were these the actual colors ? Amazing, it almost looks like a painting.
Great shot.

And I second (or third) the opinion..have this lens for 3 days now, did alot of 'testing' and it's one great piece of glass....

You ask about two of the FINEST LENSES EVER MADE... you will not find better.

Frantz Dantzler · Jun 30, 2002

Thomas,

Thanks, I just used NC2 for NEF conversion, USM and sharpening then to PS where I ran auto level and resize, that's it.

It was shot this spring near Dryburgh, Scotland on a colorful day with near perfect light.

Thank you. It's a remarkable piece of glass that you will not regret buying. I have many examples that illustrate it's abilities. It should be a natural for the D100.

I'm not able to post my own pics yet, but take my word for it on the 17-35mm. It's well worth your while and $$ and then some. You won't regret it. Go for it!!

Hi,

You guys are absolutly right on the spot. The AFS 80-200mm F2.8 is a remarkable piece of glass. Great result, even shot taken with speedlight.
Weight is a down side, D1X + Lens + Speedlight + EN-EL4(battery)=4kg!

Thanks

Peter

Hi Frantz,
Great shot! I guess 17-35mm is a must have.

Thanks

only a UV filter - I often use an ND grad but i don't think it was on for those.
