PIcked up a AFS - 60 micro G at the airport getting it for a £100 cheaper than at the stores...


here's a shot with the 24 - 70:

I love my Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR II lens. A superb piece of glass and a real workhorse. I also love my 24 f/1.4 and 85 f/1.4. Finally yeah, the 105 f/2.8 micro is good, but the classic 200 f/4 micro is superb.

Well I have the 200 f/4 micro on hold at a store in London, and an AFS 300 f/4. Also going to have a look at an AFS 80 - 200 2.8 while I am there and a TC 20 III....

Picked up the three lenses in exchange for 4 Canon lenses + £300 (14mmL II, 70 - 200 2.8 IS L I, Zeiss 35 f/2, Canon 50 1.4). Wil give them a run around in Korea when I arrive there in 12 hours...

Well I've taken a few shots with the 200 f/4 micro and the 300 f/4 in Seoul. Really impressed with the sharpness, definition and lack of any noticeable distortion or CA's on these lenses.


First two are on tripod in my hotel room of my welcoming fruit bowl:
