My favorite lens from the good old time - a magnificent manual Angenieux 35-70mm f,2.5 , f,3.3 – has been setting on a shelf for years because we can not set non-CPU zooms on D300!

Well; I gave a try! I made some tests at f, 2.5; I wasn’t satisfied! Then, I set to f, 3.3 and it seemed working better! So, I took it to a museum in Washington DC to test it further with some old cars; and here is the result!... All handheld!

Very sharp; not bad at all!...

These are great shots. I hope that your OLD D300 did ok keeping up ;) - What lens(es) did you use?

I like the first two especially.. it looks like the last may be a touch out of focus?

But I like very much...

As I explained, I was using an old and manual zoom, Angenieux! It is a great glass, but not very easy to use on a DSLR!
