This article on the B&H website explores the differences between older manual focus and modern auto-focus lenses - and what we have lost in the process. I found it illuminating. Personally, I love ...

Good decision, Rick. Better late than never.

No, sorry George. I missed that one. Man! That's fully weird and cutely bizarre. As for your monochrome version... I preferred the original composition. The leaves on the left led my eye in towards ...

I love them too. A lot of non-Australians simply don't understand their beauty. Their loss, sadly. Thank you, Jim.

Thank you, Rick. I think you would really enjoy shooting there. The light and textures are spectacular.

Thanks Lin. I think I managed to fix the link now.

Wow... Don. Were you a train driver?

Interesting shot, Larry. Seems that no matter how far you go back in time, you can't escape Adobe.

Hi Scott, I have this lens and find it quite capable of producing good results throughout its full focal length range. It's excellent at the medium to long end but produces some CA (depending on ...

An interesting wind-blown set, Don. They do tend to undersell themselves at thumbnail size. At full size the last one works well. The Seurat inspired image might work better if you used an art ...

Nice sharp images, George. Looks like it's working out well for you. I look forward lots more from you with this lens.

Do you really want a "new" lens without a warranty? If not, then return it. Like Sam said, "it's your call".

You're welcome, George. I reckon this might be good fit for you if you understand the limitations of the lens. Happy shooting!

They may announce a new camera later this year but there's very little chance that they will release a new camera.

Yes it does work with the a6500 + MC-11. The AF isn't great great but it's acceptable. AF on the lens at the wide end is tricky anyway, so it's not a big deal. I didn't really have any serious issues.
