“2.8 lenses are just too slow”
-adam tow
yeah. ok. then my lenses must be crazy ass slow. but [url=http://www.tow.com]adam[/url] was nice enough to lend me his precious [url=http://www.usa.canon.com/eflenses/lenses/ef_28-70_28l/ef_28-70_28l.html]canon 28-70/2.8[/url] and i’ve been playing with it for the past few days and i must admit that i’m surprised about the lens. it isn’t quite what i expected.
my biggest shock with this lens is that i actually find this range to be rather limiting, surprising as that may sound. i used to use a 28-105 as my primary and when i went back to look at the images, i found that the majority of my images are either in the 28-50mm range or at 105mm.
when i’m using the 28-70, i feel pretty cramped. not much of a zoom to work with and not nearly wide enough. i never thought that this would be a lens that i would walk away from. i never thought that i would walk away from any L lens. but i feel that for the money, this lens is not worth its hefty price tag.
