Not that I have used any of these lenses, but I'll try:)
TS-E is heavier
Using filters is more difficult (and slower to set up?)
16-35 is better for walk around and opportunistic shots while the...
agree, looks familiar, but the XP desktop picture was taken in Sonoma County:

here are the winners for week 18:
Landscape: Sean - "Burgess Falls" (yes, Sean in landscape). The almost exaggerated blur dominating the picture really made it special for me, looks almost as if it...
oh boy this is going to be a hard decision to make. You all have a few more hours to make it even harder for me - keep 'em coming
Water can be especially tricky because it can reflect different amounts of light depending on position of the sun, waves, your position, muddiness, etc - a circular polarizer can help to eliminate a...
Btw if someone has a few million USD to spare, they take donations to repair the lighthouse and put the lens back in its original place.

Great shot John. They had one of those old 1000W light bulbs on display at pigeon point.

This is more a snapshot than anything else, but for those who own a Better Beamer, or have wondered what a Fresnel lens in big looks like, here is an image of the lens of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse...
Keep - it's just too funny. I would even crop in on the bird. The bird slipping is kind of funny, and makes the picture more than the reflection does, in my opinion
:) very nice Erno

Joel,
I know you pay a lot of attention to the background - but to you actually plan the gradients, maybe by adjusting perch and camera height?
Looks great, even better than a unicolor background.
Thanks Joel,
keeping the swallows in the viewfinder is already difficult enough :). I was lucky that they stayed somewhat high above the ground and were flying slowly (slow for a swallow that is)...
Thanks Brant for the explanation,
I personally can live with the percentages being not category specific - let's keep it simple.
Joel,
The background with the gradient came out really nice - the green adds a little punch of happiness to it.
The bird looks great too!

and this one came directly from the set of The Hobbit or LOTR

very good article, thanks for sharing
One of the things that I learned here in the TDP forum is to keep the eye in focus when photographing wildlife, and that it is not always easy.
Mission accomplished.

Joel,
looks good to me, but the image is rather small.
I think for testing a lens, the typical brick wall shot will tell you more about the lens, because the entire "subject" is in one plane.
