Make sure you have a fresh battery in the tuner, too.
28-300mm lens? Wow. that is a lot of range. How fast/slow is it? You like the results?
Yes, I like the results. Speed? Uh, it works. It DOES have a lot of range, that’s why I like it. It’s crappy in low light conditions and it’s heavy.
If you look at my Flickr stream, you’ll see the results It’s the one lens to rule them. It’s why I have it.
And I felt sorry those 17th-18th century travelers who had to carry their own bathtub and cooking pots along!
Did NOT picture you a a pink plaid wearer, headphones or other wise. I’m afraid if you wear that with a green polka dot sweater, you may scare away all the penguins.
brb, going to go see if Old Navy has a green polka dot sweater now.
