35-100mm f4-5.6 Vs 35-100mm f2.8 Comparison
1

I want to buy one of these lenses, and while I do believe you get what you pay for, the 3X higher price I just needed to see for myself if it was worth it.

Now, there are times when using a brighter aperture makes the whole thing worth while, so for some the 2.8 would be manditory.

I have read some build comparison chatter on this forum, but my personal feeling was the builds were comparable and the size comparison, well the 4-5.6 wins it hands down.

Yesterday I read a bloggers perspective, and I must say I agreed with his call that the 4.0-5.6 is every bit as quality as the 2.8. But of course, I did a comparison in the local dealership, i have processed the images to be the best I could get. I didn't think I nailed the focus in the comparison of the Blue Escape (my car nicknamed The Great Escape).

So please take a look. Please tell me what you think. I will but this new lens next week when I go to B&H to sell and trade the last of my Nikon gear. I am always looking to learn from others, so please have ad it,

Oh.....The camera body was the GM1. I'm sure they would have looked the same on the GH4.

Inside the store - Can you tell me the store name?

Not sure the focus is correct.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
