Basically had any of these professionals - as almost self-evident - the generally excellent as designated lenses such as 14-24er 2.8, 2.8 70-200er, 105s 2.8, 1.4 85er, 50er 1.4, etc. in the portfolio.. And yet the 28-300er made according to their statements a good figure. For most, the 28-300mm also belongs now to the basic equipment when you are traveling. So my curiosity was naturally aroused.
Most of the objectives listed above I have also. Even the 300mm focal length is covered by a 70-300er; and that is basically the crux of the whole. Who drags for 6 lenses around with you (and lightning, and teleconverter, and stand, and iPad and, and, and ...) ??
I bring upon the 70-200er nothing; If I had to separate myself, this would be the last lens that I would give; the 85 1.4 makes fantastic portraits with beautiful bokeh, the 105s Macro 2.8 is so unbelievably hot that it has no equal. Whenever I'm pretty sure where it's going or what I'm going to take pictures, or when I know I do not drag around but only to the scene out, and there I stay, then I'm glad and happy to rely just on this wonderful lenses to. But now we can indeed take a deep look into her eyes and how often question the because the case, or vice versa as often is all that at home because I'm running through the area and the whole Geraffel therefore remains at home because to me is much. The 50 1.4er is always there that weighs also nothing, and otherwise I'll take either a wide-angle or a telephoto with, that was it already.
I suspect sometimes that the professionals that something like that is like me. If you know what, where and when then = professional equipment!
If you're traveling and all have to wear all day long from A to B, then there is suddenly a real alternative. As I said, it should not create the impression that 28-300er would all put the good quality equipment in the bag, but complement each other very well !!
The thing with the Gewichtsersparung you have however clearly into perspective. The 28-300er along with a D700 weigh still around 2 Kg !! ... Even that is an announcement when you hold the all day high !!
My vacation / lightweight luggage is therefore then also still 16-85er a D90 with DX.
Long story short. Addiction someone a Always top, a solo lens for travel or a good lens with an extensive zoom range as an introduction to the full-size world, then should look at the 28-300er definitely a closer.
All the Pixelpeeper the 28-300er with 85 1,4er; Compare 2.8er 24-70 or 70-200 2.8er (want to), let's stay away from this drinking glass and do not grieve you. Rather puzzled about yourself that you have ever read this far you :)
I reingestellt some sample photos here at Amazon.
Please evaluate the selection of images with respect to their relevance to the practicality and sharpness of 28-300ers, not because of your (lack of) artistic value - there are now so once only example pictures :)
