Funny seen colour shots from you Barry, nice shots too. Lens looks like a keeper, is this the 18-200VR?

Great colour shots. Nice use of the environment around you and the light.

How do we know that's your new zoom and you weren't just standing there?

Is that God looking through the Sandymount sculpture

not sure if its the cheap filter or the poorer lighting conditions , or just the 18 - 200 is just not cut out for street stuff , but feal these lack a bit of crispness, any ideas ? or what do you think?

I've had a look through a number of your images and I don't see their lack of crispness. Maybe it's only due to the size of the images I see.

thanks Paul , i always get a bit freaked when i get a new lens or camera , "not as good as i expected etc etc "

and i wonder about my cheapo uv filter , maybe i should have splashed out on a decent make !!

I always go for Hoya Pro 1 filters. High quality and worth the price.

Sometimes, we are just our own worst critics. :cool:

my lens and filter seamed working ok today , down in Killiney

so i can no longer blame my tools , just the craftsman

Its hard to compare a zoom to a prime in any test, primes like the 50mm and 30mm will always be head and shoulders above the zooms.. Some great shots with the new lens
