Must be. I can't remember that kind of thing to save my life.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)

Too bad that youth is wasted on the young ;)


Middle age is when you can finally afford the things that a young man could truly enjoy.

After having seen your test and your opinions I think I will buy the Tokina 16-50 because of its built quality. Thank you again.:)

1650 is a great lens. You will really like its build quality. If you don't have to have its build though, look at the 1750.

I noticed that the 18-200 wasn't tested at 30mm. From photozone and a couple of others it seems that the 18-200 has a real problem around 35mm. Would you be able to test it at that FL and share the results? It looks like a great lens, but 35 is crucial FL and I am hoping that photozone just had a bad copy.

My copy is definitely better than the PZ one. I don't see that much degradation with mine. It is slightly weaker at 35mm though. But all in all, one of my favorites in my bag for the range and OS. Here are some other links to see:

All that E vs F vs Q vs L stuff confused me. I don't like having to refer to a chart just to remember which lens you're referring to at any given moment. Blech.

Want dessert with that?

Saw your note on the front page and wanted to thank you for all the good work you have done. Enjoy the vacation from testing, you've earned it!! :D

Looking at your 135/2 vs 85/1.8 page now ;)
