Would close up filters work better?

any reason this should not work?      Thinking of picking up the 11mm for use with the minolta rokkor 90/4

A part of me wants this lens.   I agree the 18-135 tends to be soft on the long end - my solution has been not shoot at the long end. :) Given that, the wider view, 6 stops and more compact size ...

It will be interesting to see how fast people get it and start posting reviews.    My expectation is that it will be quite a bit better then the 18-135.   If so, I may have to pull the trigger.

Maybe the solution is two kits small kit when i travel on business - x100f with wcl & tcl kit for serious photography.... 10-24, 16-55, 50-140, 100-400, 56 for portraits and the 80 macro the 2.8 ...

Hmmm   77mm filter.... may be a show stopper for me as i use my grads a lot and my Lees only go to 72...   maybe the 16-80 will be really sharp at 67 or 72.

The zooms i have in the normal range are 18-55 and 18-135.     Plus the longer ones and the 10-24.  They are ok but you need to be very aware of what focal length and aperture you are using and ...

anyone use a nikon 5t or 6t or canon 250d or 500d with the 56?    Any examples?

I have been reviewing my images and have noticed i take a lot more time on my compostions when I shoot primes.   I guess i get a bit lazy with zooms.    Coupled with most of the primes are a bit ...

Thanks, will do have the one for cornwall

Nice thanks!

Very nice.  Thanks

Hi all, I have another business trip the second week of October to the UK and will be flying into Manchester for my meeting in Nottingham.   I could arrive a few days early and head west to Wales ...

Here is hoping that it is substantially sharper than the 18-135. I actually use my 18-135 quite a bit, but usually restrict myself to F4, 5.6, 8.0 and don't generally zoom past 105 or so. I really ...

Wow - since sensors have enough DR, I am shocked that Lee, Singh-Ray and others are still in business selling ND grads. I will be sure to tell all the pro landscape guys (even the phase 1 guys,  ...

I never dreamed this thread would be so active.    I guess not everyone shoots sunrises or sunsets and want the capture the highlights and not throw the foreground into black.   I use a lot of nd ...

I had no idea this topic would be so prolific.   Thanks all.    I will likely stay with my x bodies and will upgrade when the x-t4 comes out.   I do a lot of bracketing and do use my lee filters ...

I expose as far to the right until clipping

I do this

Yep
