That's nice!

very nice robert!

Stunning Robert

With regards to the ND Filter question. If you want to do long exposure daytime, silky water, cloud movement shots then you will more than likely be needing a ND110

With an f/4 lens - are you mad??
It always irks me how people still think you must have an f/2.8 lens for low light, even though camera ISOs have increased by about 3 stops in the past 5 years.

Who gives a sh*t dude, the guy was having fun with it, don't be such a buzz kill. You camera n@zis pinning peoples creative buzz is what irks me.

I was going to say the same thing.....might want to read between the lines before barking back if you don't understand humour.

Back on topic, great lens!

so whos the n@zi now?

After long consideration i finally pulled the trigger today and spent my hard earned pennies on this lens. I have only shot one testphoto from my kitchen behind the dirty windowglass but this is it and i'm also including a cellphone shot of the lens itself incase none of you guys seen it before hehe.

^ congrats!

Thanks you very much i must say it's a fine and light lens, quite compact with a gigantic lenshood.
I plan on taking it with my downtown Gothenburg tomorrow to shoot some testpics there.

Oops! Bit of a failure of your irony detector there. Sorry to cause offence. Stay cool.

I was saying that he proved an f/4 lens can indeed be used successfully for low light, despite what "experts" on here like to say.
