Hi Jan.


You're right. The bicycle shot does look soft...for some reason, I guess, when I resize the images, some take the conversion well, others, not so well!! I"m not sure what why?? But the original is tack sharp.


Competing against our Sig's at f2...well I'm not sure, since mine is in the shop right now!! It is expensive, as is the whole Zeiss line-up. I think this one in particular because of the macro capabilities.


Your definitely right on the HDR...but I was going for the over-saturated look just a bit!! I wanted it BW, and then I thought i would try a color one, too...and got a little crazy!![]


Thanks for looking,


Gregg
