Hey, Slugly, what time of day were you there at Bronte? I was there from about 2pm onwards. The sea was really pumping! Maybe we should meet and have a coffee one day?
This is Bronte Sea Pool on a normal day I think I have posted it elsewhere before:
Z7 + 14-30 f4S
The following photos are of Bronte during an east coast low pressure system off Sydney causing severe weather event:
Z7 + 14-30 f4S
Z7 + 500 f5.6 PF
Z7 + 500 f5.6 PF
Z7 + 70-200 f2.8E FL VR
Z7 + 24-70 f2.8S
A 3 shot sequence of this kid getting swamped. I did warn him, but to no avail!

Nice set as usual, Lance! Pretty gnarly to see the seas that rough at Bronte but with blue skies above. Did I spy 70-200 2.8S in the captions?! I didn't realize it is out in Oz! Lucky guy; I can't wait to get mine!

Thanks for the kind comments. No, it isn't the 70-200 f2.8S, that's just idiot me in auto mode writing the wrong thing after writing the 24-70 f2.8S. It's the 70-200 f2.8E FL VR. Sorry for the confusion, I have now amended it.
Good catch.
However - I just don't get it. does it make sense really, closing these natural areas because of this ??
Really - to me it doesn't make any sense at all !!

Too bad Lance... I was hoping that you had an advanced copy and could offer some insight into its differences with the E.
As a 70-200E shooter, it is hard to imagine that the new lens will offer any major optical improvements, as the current 70-200 f/2.8E is so much better than I could have anticipated upon its introduction.
From the Badlands in June, 2020.
My wife, dog, and I took the camper (a small teardrop) West and spent 5 nights in the Badands and 5 nights in the Tetons. I did a mix of wildlife and landscape work. The lack of clouds during sunrise and sunset makes shooting in the badlands a challenge, as the the light goes from exciting to horrible w/ in a 20 minute period throughout late spring and summer. As such, the processing is rather aggressive in order to accentuate the drama and create some dimension.
For example, the last two images are the same picture... just processed in uniquely different ways.

Namibia in North America (?)... That's what I was going for :D

I completely agree. The 70-200E is simply stunning, an a amazing lens and I too can't imagine the S could be better, but the indications indicate that it is. It will be interesting to see if we can actually see the difference in practice.

Hi Lance, I was at Bronte pool on Tuesday and left around 1:30pm so we may have just missed crossing paths. I'd certainly be up for a meet, I will send you a pm.
It's the 70-200 f2.8E FL VR. Sorry for the confusion, I have now amended it.
