Touching down on 06R from Miami…

Another morning of Photography ends in style as AP-BGL floats over the threshold. (Not to sure who the photographers are)

Hmm I haven’t had that but I can get quiet a few blurry shots sometimes due to the non-image stabilzer like my old lens, The 75-300mm IS. What settings have you been using?

I stick roughly to the settings that used to produce the best on my 75-300mm. Usually F11 if the weather allows me to keep the shutter speed high enough. Wouldn’t generally go below F8. ISO200, centre-weighted metering mode. The settings work….but it can just seem to be a bit inconsistent. I’ll see how it performs in DUB next week….seeing as I’ve only taken it on 2 trips so far.

Have you had any noticeable problems?

I can’t quite work out if I’m happy or not. I got quite a few really nice results from recent trips to ACE and MAN, but then again I got plenty that were useless. With my previous lense, I don’t think the ratio of bad shots was quite so high. I went to both ACE and MAN with Michael Catchpole, he’s using the Bigma and seems to get the same un-explained deviations in quality.
