As the title says, I hoping some of you have this lens and a tc. With so many different tc which would work best with this lens. Examples of shots with and without would really help.

I have had 3 of the * lenses but my most used and probably my favorite lens is the F 28mm f2.8.
I think its a cracking little lens.

Hi Maria, very good for your first attempt you have, managed to smooth the water out.
We're you using a filter to block some of the light or just a smaller f stop. ?
The shots do seem to be lacking a focal point of some sort. Maybe a wider shot to take in some surroundings, and or a lower angle of view, lower the tripod so that you are not looking down at the water. I'm no expert but I do like and have some of these in my p/f if you want to have a look at the settings that were used it might help too.
Don't give up on it.

Excellent, nice one Garreth, thanks for that.
I wish you all the best in your new venture. Sounds like a great idea.

Nice set. I Like the 2 b&w ones. Well i like them all but those two most. Looks like everyone from Whitby went to Knaresborough.
Nice movement caught in the last one.
The one outside the butchers is very good too.
They're all good shots.

I like them all. What a novel idea. All well taken.

I think I will be looking to buy one of these in the next month or so. Just looking to see if anyone has one that they are thinking about selling.

Thanks for the feed back all. I have not seen any issues with focusing on the video reviews. However I will dig into the issue and see if I can find out more.

Regards Ian
Hi Ian, I'm also looking at this lens amongst others, and I think the reason that the focusing issues don't come up at all in any videos is because there only seems to be an issue through the viewfinder, as that uses a different type of auto focus than live view. I think it's phase detection as opposed to contrast detection.
Have you purchased one yet or gone down a different route ?
