Congrats Brant. Also, thanks whoever voted for my sparrow. ;)

One more day to vote!

Congrats on the gear! I look forward to hearing how the lens performs. As David mentioned earlier, it could be a lightweight solution for me,...

As I said, I haven't had much time to use it, just a little walk around the house with my kids. About sharpness, I'm certainly not the best person to...

Perhaps a specific scenario might help focus the discussion :). I went to a fundraiser on Tuesday night for a local charity.... they had several...

I did a whole series of color and B&W posts on my flikr of a couple of streams near Glacier. https://www.flickr.com/photos/77760916@N05/

You're liking it Tounis? I have a pre-order as well, but it hasn't shipped yet. Everyone has mentioned how sharp it is, but Bryan's early test...

I received the 28-70 f/2.8 on Wednesday. It's the first lens I've preordered, but my situation is not the same as some other contributors to this...

A couple of images I thought would be better as B&W... 537A3082 by kayaker72, on Flickr 537A3461 by kayaker72, on Flickr Thanks for...

Congrats Sean. Glad it worked out for you. My thought would be to shoot the same subject with both for a bit. Figure out which you prefer....

Update to the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art malfunction. I sent the lens to Sigma USA for repair. Fixing the lens cost $175 + $25 shipping + tax. So, for a...

It is fun to sometimes walk around with a prime, sometimes with a zoom like the 70-300L. For a travel lens, I am usually f/5.6-f/11. Usually I...

You're correct, I really view the 28-70/2 as a collection of prime lenses. For my typical subjects, I don't find it restrictive. Many years ago, I...

I am traveling for work at the moment. But my thought is to wait for more reviews. Build quality is important for a travel lens. Like Neuro, the...

This new lens got me looking at what else has been popping up. It seems Sigma had a 28-70mm f/2.8 for a while, and just announced a 28-105mm f/2.8...

i wasn't the one hoping for a 24-70/4, but the new 28-70/2.8 is a pass for me. Never say never, but I won't pre-order it. Small, light, good IQ and...

You wanted a slimmed down 24-70 f/4. How about the new 28-70mm f/2.8? Would you miss the wide end? Willing to live with the vignette and...

Watched the video... he's just shooting on a tripod w/ no tracking... and basic advise like "avoid light pollution", and "beware of people with head...

Haven't watched it, but B&H's YouTube has an Astrophotography in Iceland video from just 3 days ago. (Channel:...

Learned several things last night. 1st get really good at finding the north star, the cell phone apps I have where poor, not comically bad. 2nd...
