I still think it's a good idea to start out at full soft and work your way up instead of guessing a starting point, then trying to figure out if you want to go up or down.

Plus, you get the "wow, even at full soft these dampers are 10x better than stock" effect.

I have a 17-35/f2.8, it works very good with the film camera, but I find after the 1.5x with the DSLR, it is not quite wide enough.

Mr.onzedge, looking forward to hear reviews from you.

100-400 -- this is here only beacause I got an incredible deal. It is a highly impractical lens as it is very heavy and hard to hold steady over time w/o a monopod.

I have the Tokina 11-16/f2.8, not an expensive lens but the wide angle range is the only on the market, a bit noisy cos it doesn't have motor.

Maybe add it on your next "distracted list"???

Maybe I'll check it out. I am kind of a Canon-only guy, but who knows.

I will rep you when my repping is restored tomorrow.

I agree, that is the only non-nikon lenses I have, cos they don't have 11-16/f2.8

This is one of the pics I shoot when I was in Mexico using it at 11mm with polarized filter




not too bad, eh??
