This is the one and only zoom telephoto I own. I have a Tiffen UV filter screwed in the front permanently so as to keep its huge front element pristine like the first day I bought it. The filter adds a bit of height or length to the lens. Normally it's not a problem except it becomes a bit tight when I put in into its carrying case that comes with the lens.
I just notice the other day, the lens flare pretty "badly." It had its lens hood on already--I am a big fan of lens hood, and I was shooting into the sun not really on purpose but just so happened. The contrast was gone and the overall scene became pretty hazy. Diglloyd has a page on this. I think I will "test" it again without the filter though I do not believe the filter causes the hazy picture.
Overall I still like the lens very much.

It's D90, D300s, D700 then the ridiculously expensive D3, D3s and D3x.
ReplyDeleteD90 is at a very attractive price point now.
Read up on dpreview.com People are expecting some imminent upgrade of the D90 but who knows? It's a nice camera I am sure plus it got the video feature too.
