Not a particularly interesting shot but just to show my new toy off which I just love, it seems really good to me, what do you think? Taken this morning before breakfast in my garden.

Very good shot, a bit dull like you said but nothing bad besides that.

"...And since to look at things in bloom
Forty springs are scarcely room..."

Blossom is never dull. And it looks like the results from that lens aren't either.

Very pleasing.

Best wishes,

Thanks for that, I bought the lens from Mifsuds after someone here alerted me to it and I think the quality is way above my standard lens. I am also looking at the 24 - 70mm version.

I am also in the very forunate position of having 3 acres with a wife who looks after it so I have huge range of subjects just outside my back door.

Ahem ... your welcome

24-70mm f2.8 is just as good in it's own way, as is the 24-60mm f2.8 which came before it.

Nice blossom shot by the way.
