p.1 #1 · #81- Shapes in the Garden


'Cones' sculpture in the gardens of the National Gallery of Australia.
I may not know art, but this is shiny so what's not to like?

p.1 #2 · #81- Shapes in the Garden


I've seen many, many posts here and elsewhere declaring the older 28-70 to be sharper than the newer 24-70. One or two members here said they sold their 24-70 in order to go BACK to a 28-70. Photozone's tests seem to support the sharpness of the 28-70 vs. the 24-70 as well.

But Luminous-Landscape did their own comparison at
http://luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/24-70-review.shtml
and found the 24-70 to be sharper ... also, less vignetting at 28mm.

So ... what's the real story? I'm trying to decide between these two lenses and perhaps save a few bucks by going in the direction of the 28-70 ... but not if I sacrifice IQ in the process. Thanks for any real-world input you can provide.

That's a really unique and very geometric sculpture. I like that it's shiny also. Great job!

Cameron,
Wow, I like the reflective surface! Good idea to use B&W, it works really well here... Interesting sculpture.
