5.5 hour comparison shoot

I spent 5.5 hours today shooting images, filling up 18GB of card space (I re-shot for better light, so it's probably more like 9GB).

It’s all about a comparison of Nikon wide angles, see previous notes for the idea. Working hard on it now. I’ve even added the Nikon 28-70/2.8 and the Nikon 20/3.5, 24/2, 28/2, 35/1.4 AIS primes for context and alternatives. The value increases with context, which is why I’m going to the trouble, as I want to know for myself— considerations about when shooting a lens: sharpness, size, weight, distortion, focusing, field curvature, bokeh, etc. Comparisons can address some but not all of those. Everything shot on the 24 megapixel Nikon D3x.

Be patient, it's coming, as is the Nikon 200/2 review. But many hours of work lie ahead to present things in a way that offers immediate benefits and long term reference value.
