Not my usual thing but I wondered what you guys would think of this image in a purely abstract/art kind of way. C&C most welcome

Sorry John, got a Siggy 24-60mm f2.8 EX already.
No probs, just looking for a change, it's a great lens but rarely seems to get used these days. I'd really like to try a DA 17-70

Looking to trade my Sigma AF 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG macro, mint, cased, caps and hood + centre pinch lens cap (unbranded) for DA 17-70mm f/4 AL [IF] SDM.

Regards,

lastly is close focussing.... the 16-45 falls just a hair short of being a true 1-1 macro.... much better than the 18-55.
0.26x is hardly a hair short of 1:1 more like 1:4

There is no M series 50mm f1.2 - straight from K series to A series.
Yes and no, there is a version of the K series with the lettering from the M series, it's possible to date the lens to a certain extent this way (I've had both and sold both the last when when I bought the A 50/1.2) The optical formula is the same on all apart from the coatings of the A series of course.

Had the 24-70, very good lens which has a slightly longer range than the 28-70... Get a good copy you'll have a very good lens...
+1

That is indeed interesting, especially the two minute thing. I wonder what it is that takes two minutes to charge?
A capacitor maybe, I wonder if it charges faster with a fresh battery in the camera
