More Lens
Here's the camera with the lens extended. The advantage of this lens is that
it does the work of a close-up and a zoom lens. Therefore, you don't have
to carry two lenses, and you don't risk getting dust inside the camera
when you change lenses in the field.
I did some experiments, shooting Echo in ways similar to previous shots
with the Nikon zoom lens.
I always had trouble shooting these flowers because the color is so
bright.
Admittedly, this was an overcast day and that helped.
I was not impressed with the close-ups I took.
This one is a little better. (I adjusted all of these images in Photoshop.)
To show the range of the lens, I took this picture and the picture below
with Echo and I in the exact same places for each shot.
Echo and I standing in the same places as for the picture above.
One of the better performances by the new lens. Overall, at this early point,
I would say this lens is clearly inferior to a Nikkor lens.
