Default Oh My God I'm in love...
Ok, so it's fourth in line behind my son, wife and mom but DANG I love my new lens. Thanks to all that helped me out over in the Nikon forum. If the Nikkor version of the 24-70 is such an upgrade, and I believe people when they say it is, from the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 then I'm just not worthy yet. I spent the day exploring parts of Monterey and just wanted to share a couple of shots.



Quite possibly one of the most interesting people I've ever met and certainly the best Gyro's I've ever eaten . Who would have thought you could get great food from a food truck.



Some flowers on our street that I just thought were an interesting contrast in colors.

I really am blown away at how much of a difference the glass makes. Again thanks all for the input.

Doug

Great portrait and your choice of contrasting colors in the second is excellent! Enjoy that new lens.

The 85 is on my list but it's got 2 other lenses in front of it heh. It really is dead sexy though. I had one for a few days while I was trying to make up my mind and yea it really is all that and a bag of chips.
