I fully complied until the encore. Lots of people were taking images and videoing on their mobiles thoughout the whole of the performance. They were never approached by staff so I succumbed and fired off a few frames. I had to underexpose by a couple of stops due the very bright LED lights on the music stands and then recover what I could in the shadows.

Testing 28mm for Huss’ one shot project (not a focal length I shoot often.)
AIS 28mm f/3.5, nice little lens.
I too used to rarely shoot with a 28mm, because I considered it too long for the wide angle lens of a 3 lens set up (that I usually take with me: wide, normal and short tele); normally I had the 24mm f/2.8 AIS as a wide lens and sometimes the 20mm f/4 AI.
Lately I'm appreciating the 28mm field of view, in my opinion is the widest focal that doesn't put something slightly unnatural or extreme in the pictures; or simply is an easier FL that I feel more comfortable with.
I like the 28mm f/3.5 AI too, this is @ f/11, I find you need to close that much for a good image quality uniformity.
You end up with a very large image that you can resize with improved image quality.
I use this option sometimes, especially since Capture One added the panorama stitching option; it's quite basic (the assembly is take it or leave it) but result are quite good and to have the panorama in raw format (DNG) is very important for me.

My neighbor is always buying large used equipment. So he bought this and we put it to work trimming the pine trees down on our shared lane. Nice to have the right tool for the job. 28mm f2.8 ais.

Nice shots, and agree re: 28mm, I’m finding I enjoy it. IQ of the 28/3.5 seems nice but I’m not always the most demanding. I did notice image circle is juuuust large enough, a CPL will darken the corners at infinity. I’ll have to do a bit more testing of the IQ.
And nice shots, its interesting seeing the lake with a single frame vs. the stitching of the same shot. Looks like a nice place to relax a while.

Z7 II and 400 5.6 K (new to me). The lens is heavier than the 400 5.6 ED AIS version I have had for a long time as a walk around birding lens. The focus throw is longer in this older version. I remember Jose really praised the K version and had a bunch of samples with it.
For today's contribution, with 28mm lenses as a current topic of discussion, I will post some photos from the East Nile Creek trail, of which the first two were taken with the 28 f/2 N. The third shot was taken with the 50 f/1.4 SC, and all are brought to you courtesy of my D800E, with which I have been enjoying a second honeymoon.

It seems like it is 135mm season. Therefore, I had to rejoin the club but really, it's all your fault . Taken in early morning light because I couldn't wait another day.

Both 300mm f/4.5 and 400mm f/5.6 ED non IF are optically better (more difference for 300mm) than the later ED IF versions, Jose made a very good comparison for both focal length. But ED IF lenses are much easy to focus and lighter.

Well done Samy and congrats on the lens. The light on the bird makes the shot.
28mm f2.8 ais.
