Hello George & Ted,
I would like to thank the both of you for presenting your thoughts on
systematically exploring what ones' lenses do in the near, the far, and at it's
various apertures. While I have had very few qualms about shooting any of my
lenses at whatever distance or setting I needed to get 'my shot', I've not
rigorously tested each lenses behavior so I truly know what to expect when I
press the shutter release. I certainly 'play' with the lenses and get a feel
for
their handling and what it's like to operate with them at various distances and
in various scenarios so I know what to expect when I bayonet it onto the camera
out in the field. I'll have to see about implementing this 'new' regimen
sometime new. Who knows what I'll learn from the endeavour!
My thinking and My habits were challenged today and I thank you both for that.
Richard in Michigan
